Jeez, Humberto came out of nowhere yesterday, eh?
And now I'm worried: I'm supposed to be celebrating my thirtieth birthday (technically Sept. 20) with family and friends and a trip to the hometown of New Orleans tomorrow. The idea was to kick back and hopefully achieve some acceptance of how I spent my dissolute twenties--aka doing odd stuff like writing a hurricane book.
Now, though, there may well be hurricane related rainfall to worry about all weekend!
Humberto, you suck; and no, I don't appreciate the irony....

Spent the weekend in Florida getting together with some friends from college, which was a much-needed recharge for me at the end of a brutal term. It's probably fitting to ease back into routine with a return to my blogging roots, and talk a bit about a book. Specifically, the new William Gibson…
...I was suffering the worst pain I'd ever experienced. I arrived at the hospital a bit before 1AM, and spent the next four hours or so walking around in agony. By 5AM, I decided I was ready for some of the good drugs, but the nurse informed me it was too late--time for the real fun to start. My…
I'm back from DAMOP, having spent a lazy day in Knoxville yesterday, waiting around to go to the airport. That was a much-needed respite from the non-stop conferencing of the previous few days, but I would've preferred to be home, rather than in Knoxville. Air travel continues to suck, particularly…
Solemn greetings, all. Today, as the more reverent among you know, is Paul Nelson Day. Today is the 12th annual feast day of St Nelson, patron saint of obtusity and procrastination, and we honor his contributions to science by…well, by not doing much of anything at all. You could make grandiose…
Chris,
I think you have some cause for concern. The O6Z GFDL model run brings the system over New Orleans in two days, where it will have ample access to warm Gulf air.

The model has predicted such a scenario for three consecutive runs. I hope it does not come to pass as it could severely tax New Orleans' pumping stations.

It is clear that God hates South Texas as much as I do.
Pat, aren't you supposed to be praying to divert the storm from New Orleans--or do you hate us too?
Eric, thanks, I've been reading your blog and have found it hugely informative on this storm. Keep it up. And for everyone else, go and check out SciGuy:

Chris - No, I am praying that Our Lord God stike at sinners everywhere. And I hate everyone that is not one of us, where us = chubby, jowelled white Republican Male, and Proper God-fearing Women.
HTH :)
Why Pat, does that mean you hate kittens too?
Sheril - I could get into that! Please tell me more!
this thread is great. we've never had so many celebrities visit the intersection...except for the time that we had God commenting.
