Ivan

The hurricane needs to go just a little bit more west to get Lee County out of his zone. Ivan, make it so.
I don't want the storm to hit my state at all, but Robin of Beyond Salvage, who lives next door to Florida, up by Mobile, probably would like to avoid the hurricane blogging experience his own self.
Paper Frog has an outstanding list of Florida bloggers, and is himself up in the Panhandle in Pensacola.
In my opinion, Eye of the Storm, a meteorology student in Tallahassee, should just stock up on pop-tarts and hurricane blog for the duration of the season.

An interesting article in the News-Press has the disaster planners working on using planes, boats, and trains to bring supplies to Florida. There were difficulties in resupply after Frances, mainly I think because of Charley refugees streaming home and clogging the highways. They're considering an air bridge from Texas. Isn't that something?

While y'all are clicking around, have a look at the homepage of the Hurricane Hunters. I didn't know it, but those planes they use to punch in and out of hurricanes are not reinforced in any way.

Good luck to everyone in Ivan's road. Stay safe.
