Goodbye Gustav

Well, that was easy. Checking the national Hurricane Center we find a new path for Hurricane Gustav currently pillaging the Greater Antilles and now apparently projected to roll along Cuba's south coast doing them endless harm and eventually popping out into the Gulf of Mexico. All of which is bad for them and good for us. That's the thing about hurricane season, with which one cannot reason as the singer/songwriter noted, and one finds oneself hoping not to get hit at the expense of some other poor unfortunate. I'm sure the people in Haiti aren't enjoying it and even though Cuba has excellent civil defense and evacuation procedures it doesn't do Cubans any good to get drowned. It's looking good on this storm remembering Gustav is still traveling and there are more orange splotches of disturbed weather in the Atlantic so there will probably be plenty more to come. My link Hurricane Center takes you right there if you care to do your own hurricane prediction.
