It is possible but Disney has their own ridiculously stringent building codes.

Speaking of Cuba - it's still all quiet here. I just walked around outside and scared off a swarm of banana rats - I can see stars so it isn't clouded over. Still muggy with zero wind.

For those of you who take interest in following hurricanes. How can one predict the path of one, and what makes one say the hurricane will be at X 3-4 days out when yesterday it was suppose ls to be at Y 4-5 days out?


Science, math, and computers.

I knew a soldier who was there during the nasty part of the war. He had some interesting things to tell. A lot, he couldn't of course.

Be safe and thank you for your service.

HURRICANE MATTHEW DISCUSSION NUMBER 24
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL142016
1100 PM EDT MON OCT 03 2016

An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft this evening measured
two peak SFMR winds of 125 kt in the northeastern eyewall, along
with a peak flight-level wind of 129 kt. The lowest pressure
measured by a dropsonde has been 934 mb, down 6 mb since the
previous flight. Based on these data, the initial intensity has been
increased to 125 kt.

Matthew continues to move a little east of due north, or 010/07 kt.
There is no change to the previous short-term track forecast
reasoning. Matthew is expected to move northward around the western
periphery of a strong deep-layer ridge for the next 24 hours,
followed by a north-northwestward motion at 36 and 48 hours. That
portion of the new forecast track is essentially the same as the
previous advisory, bringing Matthew over the southwestern peninsula
of Haiti tonight and near or over eastern Cuba on Tuesday. Beyond 48
hours, the GFS has again trended westward, and now lies closer to
the UKMET model track. This change might be related to the
mid-/upper-level trough currently located over the eastern Gulf of
Mexico, which is now forecast to split, with the northern portion
lifting out to the northeast and dissipating while the southern
portion cuts of into a low pressure system that drops southward over
the northwestern Caribbean Sea by 36-48 hours. The new track
forecast has again been shifted westward closer to Florida, and lies
near a blend of the 18Z GFS and 12Z ECMWF model solutions.

125 knots is about 145 mph, for reference...

Not to sound cruel, but how big is the loss of life going to be?
145 mph...is there anywhere in Haiti that people can go to be protected?

Poor Haiti...

Usually, it's not the wind that gets you, but the surge and flooding. Haiti is going to, unfortunately, get railed by all three. Hopefully it's not as bad as it could potentially be.

The Haitians live in abject poverty. Most of the aid gets looted by their corrupt officials.

A few years ago I was on a cruise that visited Labade which is their national park (for tourists only). There is a wall around it with patrols on 4x4 trucks with machine guns. When the truck would pass, kids would come to the fence and beg for food. It was heartbreaking and made you ashamed of yourself.

I'll never forget that.
