Ok Hurricane Isabel is mosying it's way toward the northeast. Fortunate thing about being here is the cold water does slow hurricanes down a bit. Of course our coast may have flooding problems.
"I" indicating this is the ninth of the hurricane season, this will be the first one to significantly hit land in the eastern states this season.
One thing about Hurricanes though I have been fortuante enough never to experience a direct hit or feel the brunt of a big one when they are big and formed there is NO comparison between them and a tornado.
Hurricane Isabel continued to weaken Monday, but it was still packing 140-mph winds on a course that could see it hit land somewhere between North Carolina and New Jersey by Thursday night. Some coastal residents were already evacuating, while the Navy prepared to move some of its aircraft carriers out to sea.
