Storm Ernesto

I imagine you all know that tropical storm Ernesto is heading this way.Keep you eye on it on the National Hurricane Center website..........time to buy candles and batteries for the torch.

 

Cone "of doom" now far south....YEA

 

This one could yet fool us: we are at the very edge, now, of an enormous storm system and, at this moment, are being lashed by wind driven rain. Though the center of Ernesto is still far out to sea, Chetumal, to the south, is under a hurricane warning and nothing would be easier than for this storm to turn just a little further north....

Take a look at the visible satellite image to see what I mean http://www.mawsweather.com/hurrican.html

Looks good... so far.

 

This image from the National Hurrican Center shows the degree to which Ernesto is influencing weather across the entire Caribbean, as it moves slowly westward.

As long as we avoid a direct hit, Im happy. Still looks good for us, as he is gearing even more south-west. (The projected path, that is.)

 

Impressive rain right at this moment. And its soooo fresh outside!!

 

Come on.....just a little higher....just enough for a rainy day off work (with power please)....
