Climate and Weather
It's been all over the place for the last two days.
"Ernesto is coming, Ernesto is coming! Remember Katrina!"
Excuse me while I snort with disgust.
First of all, we don't have those incompetent twits Nagin and Blanco running around being idiots. Granted, we have our own set of incompetent idiots, but they are at least an order of magnitude better than those two.
Secondly, Ernesto was never terribly well organized as a hurricane. And apparantly the Cuban mountains disorganized him badly (goodly?) enough that, at this point, he's just another storm - lots of rain, some wind, and not much else.
On the gripping hand, folks ARE paying attention - including Yours Truly. We're ready to stand in place, or run for high ground (or what passes for high ground out here in the East).
