Hey folks. I've started a GSC Facebook social group primarily for virtual meet-ups and wanted to invite you to it. It is NOT visible to the general public, so you have to send me a friend request first. Group's rules are: Check your grudges at the door, no politics, no preaching, keep your clothes on and eat your veggies. Not necessarily in that order. My Facebook account is here. Send me a request, let me know who you are on GSC, and I will send the invite to the group.

Thank you, George.Been kind of busy of late.

I can dig it.

I can't relate to this emotional-psychological-peer pressure to speak in tongues at all!

And here's the static version as of noon Tuesday. And yea, if I still believed in God, I would think She is seriously trying to send Louisiana a message.

I've already lost track of which stills I've already posted. Oh well. This should be challenging.

This looks like What Dreams May Come

Delta, on the other hand, is not @#$!ing around. Oh, hi, Louisiana!

Well, it's more than 48 hours since the last image, so let's see how things are... oh looky here...

This one speaks for itself. Not sure what Greek letter we're up to, but I think it's Gamma: IF this one reaches tropical storm status.

I don't know why... this scares the hell out of me.

And, of course, Beta, which George covered. Whew. I'm beat.

I've been looking forward to this. This is what's left of Alpha. I had to triple check. Is that... Spain?

Next up, Wilfred. After which we officially run out of names. Last time that happened was 2005. Wilma. Beat the living daylights out of my neck of the woods. Where was I? Oh, right, Wilfred. Nothing to see here (yet?)

First, Teddy. Wow, Bermuda's in for it.

Trying to figure out how we went from "Paulette is a hurricane and here's the track and it will be a tropical storm through Sunday" to "Nevermind, it's gone" in about 12 hours. Sheesh.

Not entirely sure what happened to Hurricane Paulette, but it's not on the Hurricane Center website anymore.

And if you're reading this Tuesday or Wednesday, Sally is probably not an issue for you. Everyone in its path (northwest FL, Alabama, Mississippi), let us know how we can help.

Teddy, meanwhile, looks genuinely scary for Bermuda.

Ok, so just when I thought I wasn't going to worry about Paulette anymore, here's her forecast cone. WTAF. If it keeps heading south it could conceivably make another westward turn and threaten the US coast again. It could also sprout wings and zip over Africa on its way to Australia. What do I know. My point is, it's not dead yet.

Also, Rene appears to have dissipated

Hi Vicky!

Seven systems. Paulette: Nothing for us in the USA to worry about. Rene: Down to a tropical depression but moving southwest toward warmer waters, so yeah, I'm looking at this one with a few lines on my forehead. Sally: Dumped a ton of rain on my area Saturday, but not so bad for us. Good luck Louisiana. Teddy: Headed for major hurricane status in the middle of nowhere. Keep an eye out.Next week could get hairy if it jogs west. Then we have yellow X near Tex-ico, not likely to do much. TD 21 should become Tropical Storm Vicky today before dropping back down to depression status, then marching west. DEFINITELY something to keep an eye on. Finally, yellow X off the coast of Africa. It's given a 40 percent chance of formation within five days. Whew

Thanks, George. Brace yourselves, LA! Do we have anyone there who can keep us apprised of the need for assistance after the storm passes?
