This storm is varying so much, maybe it'll change.   There was a guy in one
of my classes today who swears it's going to hit Texas.  I do suspect he was
a few coins short of a dollar though...

It currently is a strong Cat 4, but who knows what will happen in the
gulf... I was under the impression that the waters in the gulf were a
feeding ground for hurricanes.

BTW, I was under the impression that you guys were currently under mandatory
evacuation orders?

And Tropical storm Jeanne is making her way towards the continental US.  Not
a worry for you Mike, but might be for floridians and those on the east
coast.

"Meanwhile, a new tropical storm, Jeanne, has formed in the northern Lesser
Antilles. Hurricane warnings are now in effect for Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands. Jeanne is expected to strengthen as it churns toward the
WNW, probably swirling over Puerto Rico on Wednesday, then moving just north
of Hispaniola Thursday and Thursday night."

Thanks,
Ryan
