The news this morning is good. Gustav stalled out over Haiti (good for us bad for the Haitians) and the interaction with land lessened the winds to tropical storm force. The NHC and several of the other tracking sites say that it will probably stay a tropical storm through today and regain hurricane strength early tomorrow. That means it wont be as strong as it passes north of us and hopefully wont have the time to grow too much either. The better news is that the track has stayed north and right now the closest point to Grand Cayman is projected to be 82.1 miles on Friday around 5:30 in the evening. Yesterday we filled up our second 5 gallon water container with filtered drinking water so we have 10 gallons of drinking water. We haven't had to do any shopping because we filled up our kit with food back in July. Once again its more about just waiting than anything else. Ironically, Scott has a TV appearance tomorrow morning similar to last year when his appearance right before Hurricane Dean got postponed. The TV appearance hasn't been cancelled yet so that's a good sign that the TV station's weatherman hasn't pushed them to 24x7 coverage as they do if a major weather event is going to happen.
