Hurricane IDA

Hopefully Ida didn't do too much damage.

I saw that this morning...

Does it make me an asshole that the first thought that crossed my mind was I hope it doesn't effect the cigar industry???

Stock up on your Camacho's and Padron's now guys.

Well, worse yet. Ida is expected to go into the Gulf and head for New Orleans.

Fingers crossed that she dies off.

You know something our weather idiots don't or is that wishful thinking?

Actually they were talking about projections last night and discussed how the surface water temperature needs to be in the 80's for the storm to "power-up and be sustained". Then he said that the surface temps going off Louisiana & Mississippi have dropped over the pass two weeks due to the cold fronts we've been seeing and is in the 76 to 79 degree range. We also have another front that is supposed to be here by Monday or Tuesday. IF (not the big if) the forecast is correct this will bring more cold air and wind shear both will weaken a tropical storm. IF THE FRIGGIN' FORECASTERS ARE CORRECT.

Fear not.
I couldn't imagine how they had it on a straight line for N.O. when you have the jet stream usually taking them east from there in the Gulf when they are in the Yucatan area.
The models now have Ida heading for the West Coast of Florida and Panhandle area.
Good thing is it appears to be heading that way with likely winds of 50 MPH, which we Floridians call a strong breeze.

I've always felt that hurricanes follow the "path of least resistance" - low pressure areas. So in this case that means it is aimed directly at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football stadium. It's completely defenseless.
