Taking Cover... Round Two

Ike is working up a head for destruction and an intention for New Orleans. Already a Cat 4, it's bearing down on Cuba's eastern side, and that is already not a good thing.

When Ike pushes over Cuba, the storm will lose some power, but then it heads into an overheated Gulf of Mexico, already hopped up and ripe for the increase in force that the Gulf's high 80s temperatures is almost assuredly going to add.

Folks just getting back to their jobs in New Orleans on Monday are likely to find that they have to retreat again on Tuesday.

It's mind boggling... it's frustrating... it's scary.

It makes the overwrought issues of my life feel COMPLETELY inconsequential.

All I've got to say, is that I'll be prayin'... again.
