These are the weather bouys. 42001 is right in the path and about 50
miles away (when I typed this note)
watch "Combined plot of Wind Speed, Gust, and Air Pressure" and see
the storm build. I bet it goes down in the few hours.

I watched Kartina come ashore on the east gulf bouys and saw them
start dropping offline.

Cool! At 1550 GMT, waves at 42001 were 32.5 feet, barometer falling
rapidly.


What is so cool about that?


With all due respect, seeing as to how I'm butting in, watching the weather
and being in awe of the true superhuman power of weather phenomon is normal
and healthy and in no way implies a lack of concern for the human factor.
