Fearless Freak Forecast: Gustav Edition

In short: "New Orleans and Gulfport - DUCK"

Yeah, this looks kind of nasty, as in Cat 3 or 4 at landfall over the tip of the Mississippi delta, then on to the mainland by the LA/MI border. Lotta warm water in the gulf to drive this sucker.

Hunker down. No shit.

(MS is Mississippi. I'd be pretty spooked to get a hurricane in Michigan. ;) )

Geography fail. Right, don't let this guy navigate.

One goddamned letter. And I'm too proud to edit.

However, I stand by my track, however unfortunate that may be.

So, don't let you navigate OR proofread. Got it.

*ducks, and wonders if he'll ever see a heal again*

If you turn out to be right about the MI, though, typo though it is, everyone will respect your weathercasting ability until the end of time. [grin]

There is that, yes.

Heh. Yeah, the MI in this post broke my brain, too.

I was looking at the predicted paths this morning and DAMN. It's going to get ugly, really fast.

Don't feel bad, I've been known to mix up the abbreviations for a few of them myself. All of those damn M states will fuck you up, seriously.

Nah, this was just a brain fart.

The beauty of it is that anyone else would have gotten away with it, cuz it's obvious. You're special and get the typo love ;) I guess when you get caught in so few mistakes, we gotta pounce on what we can get *smirk*

Pretty much.

That was pretty much my thought on the path this guy's gonna take.

Hopefully they'll get shit right this time if they need to call for a mass evacuation.

Not that I'm gonna hold my breath for that or anything... But if I lived near a levee, I'd be packing up right about now.
