Tropics ripe with three storms: Hanna, Ike and Josephine
We're halfway through the 2008 hurricane season, but the ripe tropics are making it seem far from over. Hurricane Hanna and Tropical Storm Ike formed Monday, and a new system, Tropical Storm Josephine, popped up Tuesday morning.

Oh God, I hate this shit !...I always feel bad for people in the gulf coast region but, when they head for the east coast I get very anxious...I live on a freakin' peninsula.

I don't even know where any of these hurricanes are now...Maybe ignorance is bliss in this case.

fucking ike is now a cat 4 and may hit south florida. andrew was a cat 4 also, but later upgraded to a 5. a 4 is dangerous as hell.

Yeah well Hanna is headed up this way after landing in the Carolinas. Going to skirt the coast but slam into Long Island and then Cape Cod.

Ain'tcha glad you moved north? ::blink::

I expect a nicely flooded basement. Gotta close the pool early now for this and take down the screen house and sky chairs off the pergola. Dammit.

If I heard right, (was listening thru sleepy ears) Hanna is going to work it's way up the coast fast. Should hit New England by 2 AM today.

That seems a bit fast to me. They'll be harping on it all day so we'll know exactly soon enough. Batten down regardless. Get the items off the basement floor. Bring out the buckets.

another mandatory evac ordered on keys visitors now. there is nothing more miserable since there is only one road out.

Tourists will be told to leave the Florida Keys starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, with a mandatory resident evacuation to begin in stages starting at 8 a.m. Sunday.

''We are in a state of emergency,'' Gov. Charlie Crist said Friday from the state's emergency operations center in Tallahassee, repeating: ``We are in a state of emergency

i know, i am worried. when andrew hit, his mom, my aunt, spent the storm hiding in her bathtub while her roof ripped off. she lost everything she ever owned. photos, clothes, everything. a lifetime of memories. i trust my cousin. but i will worry until it is over.
