These hurricanes are driving me batty. First of all I have to explain that I am directionally challenged and could get lost in a box. If Jeanne hits south florida and is supposed to go NW, is that across the peninsula toward the GOM or straight up the state and hang a right at Georgia into SC?

NHC brings it inland a little south of Cape Canaveral then turns it North and NE with a second landfall in South Carolina much like Charley.

You know, a lot of time, we type "LOL" here when something's funny, but it's not necessarily because we actually laughed out loud.

Gotta admit though, this one made me chuckle. I needed that morning laugh. :)
