Hurricane Dean Upgraded to "Mean Mofo" Status in the Caribbean

...just kidding, Dean is now a strong Category 4....but I think the other title would also be appropriate. My latest "Storm Pundit" post on Dean, drawing parallels between its track and that of 1988's devastating Hurricane Gilbert, is now up at The Daily Green.

Since I started blogging (over 3 years ago) I have been posting less and less on political matters, but I have a story to share with you on the Iowa caucuses. My wife and I, for reasons that I won't go into here, were big supporters of Dean in 2004.

And as of this Sunday morning, it is headed bullseye for Jamaica, and once again will devastate this lovely paradise, and others too. Another awful tragedy in this already tragedy filled world.

Thanks for reporting on the hurricanes, Chris. I know you're busy with the book release and all, but are you still following Sepat?

On German TV yesterday, they superimposed the outline of Germany onto the satellite image of the hurricane to illustrate its size.... scary.
