Now they're talking about a New Orleans landfall, or along the Texas-Louisiana border.

Since the diminutive version of Isaac is Ike, I'm not liking this.

All I want from Isaac is RAIN.

(I'd like to see Thunder Hole at Arcadia National Park in Maine some day, but carefully, and preferably not on a day when the waves are really rocking.)

With sustained winds of 305 kph (190 mph) and gusts as strong as 370 kph (230 mph), Super Typhoon Haiyan was churning across the Western Pacific toward the central Philippines as one of the most intense tropical cyclones ever recorded.

Its wind strength makes it equivalent to an exceptionally strong Category 5 hurricane.
