I talked to this guy in Pensacola at work today and he said things were not nearly as bad as they were with Ivan. He said Ivan wasn't as powerful when it hit (Cat 3) but it was so big and wide that it fucked everything up, whereas Dennis was more powerful (Cat 4) but so much smaller and compact that it didn't cause wide-spread destruction. It looks like we're in for even more shit that last year cause we are on #5 already and it's only mid-July.

Ok, so it looks like Emily is going to steer clear. Parts of Mexico and Texas are going to catch the worst of it. Looks like no one in the Northern Hemisphere is safe this year.
"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."
