Calm DOWN!!!
Tropical Storm Ernesto is NOT a sign of the Apocalypse.
A storm that hits the EVERGLADES as a Category one Storm CANNOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES KNOWN TO METEOROLOGY, REMAIN A CAT 1 263 MILES NORTH, IN ORLANDO.
The local "news" media should be spanked hard, in ways they would NOT enjoy for yet again pandering to the ratings boost of fear by putting LARGE "1" signs from the Everglades through St. Augustine. They are stupid, pandering, ignorant, fear-mongering JERKS who should have their licenses to broadcast revoked.
Look, Hurricane Charlie came on shore as a Category 4, moved HARD and FAST through the state, and hit Orlando as a Category 2.
SO.
THINK for a minute......HOW ON EARTH will a Cat 1 storm REMAIN one over land?
Answer: IT CAN'T.
This is but one reason I have ignored local news outlets for 10 years. They know NOTHING and are relentless in their perverse desire to scare people into watching them.
Shame on them.
**we will return to our regularly scheduled humor later**

The rantings of an insane pelican....

Well, as we've learned from past "twirling visitors", they do what they damn well please... Should Ernesto choose to shoot up the state, we'll get a good soaking, but not much else. He can, however, veer out into the Gulf and pick up speed again, before he decided to hit us, or bebop along his merry way. Unpredictable is the key word here. Look at Ivan - he swirled about like a squire at a kingdom party, travelling hither and anon, and causing much distress.
I'm not overly worried about Ernesto, but I am keeping my eye on him....
Do you feel better after your little rant? :) I know I always do. Lets just hope that they keep pushing the track east and it makes for a nice weekend.
My friend in Portland was chiding me for complaining that the hurricane 'wasn't exciting enough.' I told her for all that effort, we should have at least had a few fallen palm fronds!
