I would enjoy the evening and plan on sleeping in. Windguru is normally accurate 3 days out and very accurate 18 hrs out, if there is a steady to strong wind from the west I doubt the harbor master will open the port. While a Norte is bad, a West wind is even worse.

Well, the storm has in fact materialized and is now Tropical Storm Michael moving through the channel between Cuba and the Yucatan. I am 99.9% certain the port will be closed tomorrow again - but we should be back on schedule for Tusday.
@kicker - looks like God smiled on you
God loves idiots, lawyers, and scuba divers.... and looks out for idiotic scuba diving lawyers.

I hope you still ask Orbitz why they lied to you about your original flight being canceled since it arrived Houston early.
It looks like Michael is going to be a real achiever progressing to Cat-2 before hitting Florida or nearby, and could even drown the Carolinas again this week before he heads out to look for icebergs in the far north Atlantic. Poor Leslie has been so confused in the past and now is headed back towards the African waters where many of the worst storms originally form.

Well, trust me when I say I took no joy in being right about this one.

Question, in a venn diagram, what do you think is the overlap between idiots and lawyers? [DISCLOSURE, I have been a licensed lawyer for 36 years now, and in my experience the overlap is higher than one might think.]. And what do you think is the overlap between idiots and scuba divers? [Just a guess, but I think it’s smaller than the overlap between idiots and lawyers.]
