Hope you're right, Train Guy. I live in Galveston. If we are on the weak side of this one, it will be best. Not sure how much heat last week's storm took out of the gulf... the water temps were well above eighty then. And Isidore moved pretty fast the last couple of hundred miles to shore.

What is the url for the National Hurricane Center?

Thanks,

Train Guy, Spoken like a guy on high ground. I'm a 30 minute drive from the waters of Vermilion Bay which according to the weather I see is the cross hairs. I have been through more than enough of these storms in the last 30 years and tomorrow I'll try to find some plywood. I hope your forcast is right, and the insurers come out winners.

I wonder if you can time stocks any better then you can predict hurricanes. I picking AIG to short tomorrow. I don't why but maybe it is that low presure I can feel in NJ from the gulf.

Reports from an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft and a NOAA research hurricane hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 140 mph with higher gusts. This makes Lili an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. While some fluctuations in strength are possible during the next 24 hours, Lili is expected to make landfall as a major hurricane.
