If you look at Cuba it almost looks like there are two low pressure areas merging into one.
Strange.

My job involved working with the Weather Bureau and in all my years I have not seen a hurricane
that looks like this. It's over Cuba and perhaps the mountains are breaking it up some, but it will
move over open water again and strengthen before it hits Florida.

looks like the entire west coast of Florida is in store for wind and rain .... they still predict it to swing through our home area Thursday afternoon

That sucker may look disorganized, but its gathering power.
Looks to me like it's heading right for the Keys and Miami.

OK, now it's starting to organize again. You can see the eye. I'll bet Cuba is catching hell.

Wow! Did you see how it exploded when it got over the warm water?

Elsa is scheduled to hang around in our home hour for 8 hours tomorrow and dump 2.34" of rain .... its good to see that wind shouldn't be an issue

[JEBar]

as this is being typed Elsa is dumping heavy rain throughout our home area back in NC .... they are now calling for 3 or more inches .... thankfully, light wind

[JEBar]

mostly cloudy, 58 degrees with it supposed to get up to 74 later today where we are camped in Estelline, SD .... good chance of rain during the late afternoon .... sure hope it develops, this area could really use several inches of rain .... regular breakfast with Folgers still flowing .... not much on tap for the rest of today
