Isaac. Don’t worry about the forecast track folks, NHC says. Panic!!! Just kidding.

Work has kept me away from the blog lately. A schedule of 36 hours on five days of work also awaits me this week depending on what Isaac (not Hayes) does. I have been keeping my eye on this storm for awhile now and even more so since one of the more reliable computer models has Isaac landing smack dab into the land of EFD. (That’s eight feet deep in case you didn’t know.)

A number of the so-called “spaghetti models” are split between here, there and everywhere. The last two major hurricanes I have experienced involved the National Hurricane Center’s forecast “inching” up the coast until about the day before the storms hit. No fault due the NHC, but what’s a po’ boy to do but pull a solution out of one’s a**.

It is never a good time for a hurricane. It is especially a bad time for one to hit near me due to my precarious financial situation. Perhaps I could get the go-ahead for some freelance work. I don’t know where I would plant myself in the event of a storm. I guess it is as always. This may be the last time for you to donate to the cause if the hurricane hits, provided it turns into a hurricane. If I have the finances to keep going during the storm, I will do so and attempt to write about Isaac from my perspective. If the hurricane doesn’t hit here, which I hope it doesn’t, never mind.

Finally, here is the latest forecast discussion from the National Hurricane Center for Isaac. I have the utmost respect for these folks but the disclaimer at the end is just a bit too much:

THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD…IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO FOCUS ON THE EXACT FORECAST TRACK DUE TO FORECAST UNCERTAINTIES AND THE FACT THAT SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS EXTEND WELL AWAY FROM THE CENTER.

Uh, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain? Maybe it’s just me.
