Derek I dont mean to argue with you, but some of your comments the last 2 days have really surprised me.
#1 you stated Ernesto "will not strike the west coast of florida"
#2 Hurricane watches/ warnings are posts if they expect hurricane conditions. They obviously expect this to intensify. What does the current intensity have to do with the expected winds in 48 hours?
I'm not Derek, but as far as #1, NOTHING is set in stone with these storms.
Remember, was it yesterday? , that it was going to hit Texas?
I know this is the most likely scenario TODAY it hitting western Florida, but it COULD change again.
Nature is crazy like that.

How much is the question.
That said, it should weaken over the 6,000 ft mountains of eastern Cuba
In YOUR OPINION, could those mountains of Cuba cause dissipation of this storm altogether.
*REGARDLESS OF HIS ANSWER* remember people, I am asking for his OPINION.
I enjoy reading his thoughts on the situation.

Just think guys Haiti did this. Imagine what Cuba is going to do to this storm. Surfers are going to enjoy the swells from this storm thats about it. The big excitement of 2006 so far weakling Ernesto that cant decide where to keep his center. That is what you call a very disorganized system from the get go.

Yeah, but I've always heard Haiti has a lot higher mountains than Cuba.
