To our members in the Caribbean hunker down; if in Florida head north..

Stay safe. Ride out, don't ride one out.

I was fine through Harvey but my niece and many friends had a rougher time. Fortunately all family and friends though are okay.

It depends on how far out. If looking a day or so then it is a close approximation of the track. Beyond about a day it is a cone of possible center tracks, the center of the storm could be anywhere within the cone.

And Georgia and South Carolina.

It's likely Irma will stay away from me and it looks like Katia will be well south of me too.

Jose is not behaving as it should.

Remember Phat, US economy.The US will need to build, renovate and sell tens of thousands of houses. Can you say jobs?The US will need to replace as many as a million cars. Can you say jobs?Building will get refurbished. Can you say jobs?Banks will lend money. Can you say jobs?Roads and bridges will need to be repaired. Can you say jobs?Power lines will need to be replaced. Can you say jobs?...

The number of new jobs created will be HUGE. So HUGE the US may have to sub-contract out building the Wall (the HUGE wall) to Mexico.There is no tragedy so big that it can't be good for politicians.

Not unless there is a shortage of kitchen help, waiters, landscape and gardening, trash collection or pool cleaners.

Great news.
