Ernesto makes a beeline to Miami-Dade County (Update)
Here's the map of the possible path of Hurricane Ernesto with the "cone of uncertainty" as of 2:00 PM EDT today. Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties are the bulls-eye. Some forecasters are sayin that if the storm lingers over Santiago for a while, it may not be as powerful when it comes ashore here. We'll see.
Informal poll: how many here in SoFla still haven't fixed their roofs from last year's storms?
Update 2:39PM: Lines to get gasoline were out of control in soutwest Miami-Dade County about an hour ago. I was able to top off my tank but neglected to take my two 5-gallon gas cans to fill. Now it looks as though I may not get them filled up in time. We're always straddling a thin line between calm and hysteria here during hurricane season; I think we crossed the line earlier today.

Oh gee. Ernesto will pass to the west of Gitmo. Unless it veers further east in its path.

Eh, I figure I'll be preparing to shelter my relatives in Houston, come the next hurricane this season---so from one hurricane zone to another, y'all be safe.

May GOD protect and assist my family in NW Miami in particular and with strong desire the
Florida People in general and my fellow cubans who
are living in eastern Cuba,my family in Cuba live in the western area of Cuba and it seems not
to be battered by ese hijo puta called Ernesto.

Well...if it sweeps away them Taliban boys out of Gitmo...into the surrounding shark-infested waters, what to do? Sue God, er Allah??
The answer my friends, is blowin' in the wind.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Ernesto will FINALLY put the bearded s.o.b. in the freezer for good. You all without a solid roof yet, you have some time to do the best you can. Prayers.

Oh no. Hurricane = stress. We're mostly ready, but still.

Our roof was fixed if I remember correctly in Dec or Jan. My family and I live in Westchester and some of our neighbors still have blue tarps on their roof. We are prepared and gassed up. Las colas estan de pelicula.

Stay safe everyone, and pray the path keeps moving eastward, out to sea.
