westguy Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Found these:Hurricane GilbertHurricane DeanGilbert also caused a the biggest scare along the Texas coast until Rita. The track is identical to the forecast one, except Dean is smaller and strengthened faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmariar Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 "10:00 a.m. UPDATE: There's little change in the five-day forecast track of Dean, which brings a powerful Category 3 hurricane into Northern Mexico late Wednesday night. The immediate concern is Jamaica and the Yucatan, with the forecasters calling for an incredibly powerful 160-mph, Category 5 system to hit the latter in two days time. In their discussion the forecasters also confirm what we discussed below, the movement of the upper-level low across the northern Gulf. At this time the upper low continues to appear as though it will move ahead of Dean. If this holds true Dean will indeed make landfall in northern Mexico next week. As a result, Houston remains outside the cone of uncertainty for Dean. I'll update this afternoon when the new models are in and we're within about four days of a final landfall."

Hotel owners and state officials in Cancun were to decide when to move some 40,000 tourists later on Saturday.

Original Timmy Chan's Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Bush hates people.Espesically black ones.....Looks like I picked the wrong presidential term in which to move to a black neighborhood. I'm screwed. Dean will make landfall in Galveston, then skip over the lily-white suburbs and proceed directly to 3rd Ward.Dammit!My wife also picked the wrong month to travel to Jamaica. She leaves at the end of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 My wife also picked the wrong month to travel to Jamaica. She leaves at the end of August.Or maybe she picked the best time. I've heard that the hotels usually have their lowest rates right after a hurricane when there's few customers left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
