If she's still moving south of due west in the morning I'm( you should to) going fill up every gas can i can find. They will start thinking about evacuating alot of oil rigs and you know what that means.
$3.00 per gal.

My assistant's husband (working on that super-rig that went lopsided during Hurricane Dennis) is evacuating this evening...he will be on "standby" and might be sent back out if the storm turns north early.

No panic, just that the powers to be won't wait for for the track to verify before they start getting personnel off some of the rigs that are farther off shore.
Sorry about Monsoon it's still in the $ 2.50 range down here

Is the center close to getting back over water or am I seeing it wrong?

Looking like the just south of due west scenario is pretty evident on these radars...
