I guess this a question for you out there who are in the path of whatever storm(s) happen to be occurring/about to occur/probable to occur/occurred/may reoccur...
Are you as fixated as I am on Weather Underground or the NHC and the models run?
I'm amassing some nerve-wrangling jitters about this weekend, wherein we're supposed to fly to Seattle. But, there's this honking monster out there who is currently in our scopes.
Jeff thinks I'm a bit, how you say, obsessed.

Not much you can do about the weather, except talk about it. But you might think about getting the car packed and start driving to Seattle.

I wouldn't call you obsessed. I might say you're "a little tetched in the haid," but that has nothing to do with your sensible concern for weather systems.
I currently am staring at long-range forecasts for next weekend in fear that the remnants of one storm or another might delay my escape -- I mean, my return -- from Denver. This would not be acceptable.

Yes, you will.
And it will be a nice visit. Okay, survivable visit.
Hey, what did you do with her luggage anyway?

I bet it's stuck in a closet somewhere to be brought out in the future to taunt.

I think that is Obama's favorite site.
On the other hand, McCain likes the Farmers Almanac.

Believe me, if I'd had room to store any stuff, I would have absconded with far more interesting stuff than American Tourister luggage.

I had this conversation with Sting and then with my m-i-l, to no avail.
They both have been fretting about the path if Ike. Worried beyond belief. I kept asking what good the worrying does. It paralyzes my m-i-l and occupies hours and hours of Stings thoughts and attention. There is nothing they can do about where it lands. They can do something about preparing for, being ready for what it does. All this angst and drama does no good and actually does harm.
I told my m-i-l that the worry and stress produced a hormone that makes people fat. She didn't like it - that I told her that, I mean. I think I will not say that again.
Hope you are safe and that you are prepared if it hits Houston.

I follow the weather reports very little since I moved to Houston since we only have two forecasts: "hot, humid, chance of rain" and "warm, humid, chance of rain". Nothing like living in the Midwest with real weather which changes all the time and the full spectrum is possible sometimes in the same day.
But, I'll admit, this summer I've been on Weather Underground and the Houston Chronicle Sci-Guy blog a lot.
Current 5 day forecast for Ike:
This weekend should be interesting.

When I see the title to this post, I keep thinking it's too early for the SI Swimsuit edition.
And yes, this is a gratuitous post.

Shouldn't that be "gratuitously posting redundantly gratuitous since..."

When I plan baseball trips to Midwestern cities, I should NOT be taking hurricanes into account!
Kay will get a good laugh at this since she has dubbed me to be a baseball weather jinx....

Altruism fails in the presence of Hurricane tracking.
(Oh Please Lord, let it go somewhere else)
I think those darn Georgians are particularly good at this.

What Midwestern cities are you visiting that would be impacted by hurricanes?
