1. Thanks for the link

Millions of people along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts really need to keep a close watch on this one and be prepared to evacuate if needed, depending on where it decides to go.

With any luck, it will be become a "fish" and go north into the north atlantic. Unfortunately, it looks like its going to make landfall based on the current models.

Thursday or Friday will be real "weather days" somewhere

*Smirk, there's a girl named Isabel comin' for dinner!

Here it is!



But seriously, coastal folks ... please DO fill up the gas tank (NOW), get nonperishable food, flashlights, batteries etc. and put together a box with clothes, medicines, children's things, family valuables (like pictures) that you can put in the trunk of your car immediately if an evacuation call comes.

4. I Like It

The other maps/photos I've seen dosen't include the curvature of the Earth while this one does. It's easier to see exactly where it is and where it's going.
