Just think of the poor folks in Cuba. Some of the projected tracks take it over the same areas that Dennis just hit. The folks there already have next to nothing, and storms like this wipe them out completely. Their government won't accept help from other countries, leaving them to live in poverty for a long, long time from a single storm.

Actually, even thought the storm is looking like it will miss Florida entirely, it should be good at keeping wait times down. Peeps from out of town are less likely to travel to Florida with this many tropical systems in the area. We were there as Ivan was bearing down, and they didn't even have the Fast Pass machines operating. It was great! Enjoy your trip!

We are expecting the eye of Emily to pass over Mérida, my city, early tomorrow. It´s supposed to start hitting us around midnight. We are ready and just praying it doesn´t destroy much, but we have been told that the track is the same as hurricane Gilbert, the "hurricane of the century" in 1988. This is one is smaller but as powerful as Gilbert was. uh oh...
