We just got one small rain shower from Gustav. Looks like Hanna will go east of us. What a crazy 2 weeks it will be.

Ike is the one I am watching, does not look good for the Gulf, I just hope it does not choose LA like Gustav did.

I'm getting pretty tired of this. I'm ready for the late fall to winter festivities. I think the drought is behind us now. At least it is in Southwest Florida.

I think it has a chance to make Cat 4 by 11pm ET and be the first Cat 5 this year in the next few days.
