I have this vision of watching one of these live reporters standing there in the hurricane one day and a stop sign (having been relieved of its position on its post by the storm) flying from one side and decapitating the reporter, his head falling cleanly to the ground as he still clutches his mic.

I heard a comedian say something about these people who think they can handle any amount of wind since they're in such great physical shape.

"It's not that the wind is blowin', it's what the wind is blowin'. If you get hit with a Volvo, it don't matter how many situps you did that morning."

Last satellite pic of the storm as a hurricane.. getting fully over a continent tends to dry them up fairly quickly..

Well expect your gasoline prices to go up - there have been a good few refinery closures with Chevron Texaco hit particularly hard. A nasty storm can keep a refinery closed up to 8 weeks after so supplies may be tight for a while in the US market.
