4. Maybe Ernesto will manage

to do what our emasculated Congress has so far refused to do: wipe the God-forsaken place off the map & wash it into the sea. (And allow the inmates to escape into the interior of a more welcoming Cuba). SG

9. Sadly Ernesto won't be strong enough to achieve that

The good news is that another one will miss Jamaica. We'll settle for the rain.

11. just what I was thinking.... sadly,

this corrupt administration would probably let the incarcerated drown--just like those thousands in NOLA and the Gulf Coast...

[blogslut]

6. Looks like a mean storm

The location is serendiptous but my hope is that all will be well.

7. Florida and the east coast better watch out

I see the hurricane rubbing the land masses of haiti and cuba which will make it bear to the right not come into the gulf as was earlier assumed. IMO
