Will the Daughter of Isaac Be Born?

Remnants of Hurricane Isaac are hanging around off the Louisiana/Mississippi coast and could organize into a tropical descendant.  If so, Isaac's daughter would be Nadine and is likely to push to the east towards Florida.

Here are the details

12th Tropical Storm is out there...

Did you know?

While the focus is (deservedly) on Isaac, TS Leslie has formed but looks to be headed due North!

TS Kirk - "Bye bye capt'n"

While Isaac pours down on Louisiana and neighboring states, we're at least glad to be able to put on our best Scottish brogue (Star Trek fans will get the reference) and bid adieu to the 11th named storm of the season.

Not the first time an RNC is delayed due to storm

It was announced today that the Republican National Convention in Tampa will convene on Monday, but adjourn immediately until Tuesday.

This is not the first time.  It happened last time, in 2008, when Hurricane Gustav delayed the RNC in Minneapolis.   

 

Yes, Minneapolis.  Here's how a hurricane affected the convention in Minnesota

Today is the 20 Year Anniversary of Hurricane Andrew

As Tropical Storm Issac approaches, we remember that South Florida (particularly Homestead) changed forever when Hurricane Andrew came ashore on August 24th, 1992.

Will Isaac upstage Romney?

Tropical Storm Isaac has formed. This could be the first storm of the year for Florida to be really concerned about.

As I shared in my earlier post today, the storms that start with the letter "I" have a distruptive history. That coupled with the fact that the Republican National Convention is taking place here in Tampa Bay next week, makes us wonder whether Isaac will blow into town for the RNC.

The White Line in the middle ends in Tampa!
