Ach, That Is The Hur’cane I Must Hav!
Gustav ist giffen der forecasters fitz
NOTWITHSTANDING…THERE IS VERY LITTLE…IF ANY…SKILL IN
INTENSITY PREDICTIONS AT THESE EXTENDED RANGES. INDEED…IF ONE
LOOKS AT THE LATEST WIND SPEED PROBABILITY PRODUCT INCLUDED IN THIS
PACKAGE…IT CAN BE SEEN THAT THERE IS NEARLY AN EQUAL CHANCE THAT
GUSTAV WILL BE A CATEGORY 1…CATEGORY 2…OR CATEGORY 3 HURRICANE
AT THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
…ONE SHOULD
NOT READ MUCH INTO SUCH SHIFTS OF THE FORECAST TRACK SINCE THE
TYPICAL ERROR OF A 5-DAY PREDICTION IS OVER 300 MILES.
We have a long couple of days of weather pr0n ahead of us.
Bonus question: How quick a trigger will Mayor Noggin’ have this time around?

THS, mercy,
It’s time for a vacation in Jersey,
Staying put would be bad form
What with Gustav the Tropical Storm.
The stormiest boy in Port au Prince
The wettest, with lightning as well
The Rastas in Kingston will sleep since
Their dreadlocks will sink in his swell
Old Noggin’ asleep up in NOLA
His dreams though are far from serene
Of Teutons who lash Hispaniola;
Gustav goosesteps behind Katrine!
NOAA
Spare us!
Our levees again they might fail us
Forecasters would truly be great
If these storms they could make dissipate.
Major Dad, THS
Move on away from the beaches
Even Bing’s immature gags
Beat Gustav the Giant Windbag
Things are different now. If Mayor Noggin’ won’t pull the trigger, Governor Jindal will pull it for him. All hail the new sheriff!
Mayor Noggin’ will likely call upon Obama, The Messiah™, to turn GUSTAV away from NOLA.
About Nagin….he’s in Denver with no current plans to return to New Orleans before next week. Great mayor they have there in New Orleans.
There’s a great section of links for tracking Gustav on http://www.USAMediaGuide.com. It has links to the projected path of the storm, National Hurricane Center coverage, local TV and newspaper coverage, live webcams, and other Gustav stuff.
Ooh! Like Charlton Heston in “The Ten Commandments!”
Dear friends, I thank you for concern!
(For clearer skies, we always yearn.)
But if Gus insists on huff and blow,
We’re used to getting f*cked, you know.
We’ll just wait and watch for FEMA.
We’ll let it rage around our heads,
Use alcohol to blunt the dread,
and think wistfully we should have fled.
We’ll watch the backyard flooding spread!
And then hang a flag for FEMA.
The electricity will soon give way.
Squid Terrorist knows how to play,
And strings the cord that saves the day!
A sense of doom is here to stay.
Lights on while we wait for FEMA.
Bingley will call, “What will you do?”
With encouraging words from NJSue.
Sure of the path, ’til out of the blue
Mountain Man sends, “It’s coming at you!”
I hope we’re still here for FEMA.
ebola snoozes in a chair,
major dad snores on the sofa there,
Puppies snuggle in their lair…
I just rip out all my hair.
(And they won’t have that at FEMA.)
