"Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode."

I wonder how Cayman Islands are weathering this? It seems that the eyewall went a bit further south than previously thought. My dad is going there on a dive trip in October.

I'd hit it. had to be said

And then we're going to hit Texas, and Louisiana, and Oklah- okay, okay, I'll stop.

Of course I'm talking about Dean, you TWERP!

'bout time our friends to the south had a bath

Well, there goes my vacation in Cozumel. Was scheduled to fly out tomorrow morning.

Any news on Jamaica? Heard no one evacuated caz prob everyone was just waiting to go on looting sprees with AKs?

a dingo ate me baby: 'bout time our friends to the south had a bath

are you kidding? san antonio probably won't even notice the hurricane - the rain's been at least cat-2 strong all summmer.

Cheee-eeese!
They don't call me Cheese any more. They call me Dean.

Yeah, remember that time we locked him in a closet?
I got out.

/different Dean
//might be some whip-its lying around...

Lots of hotels and attractions on the Yucatan coast just finished cleaning up and rebuilding after their last bout with a hurricane.

They got positively wrecked that time, and this one looks to be bigger...

Xcaret, RIP?

Boy, I can't wait to take some of the starch out of that stuffed shirt.

So let me get this straight ... the name "Dean" alone inspires the submitter to conjure up memories of Animal House because one of the movie's primary characters is the college's Dean Wormer?

So I suppose during the next media-madhouse court case, you'll be thinking of Caddyshack cuz there's a judge in it?

Still no rain for Ohio.
/at least my part of Ohio
//my grass is more dead than Abe Vigoda
///hey, at least I don't have to mow

Well, it's good that it's missing the population centers of Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and the hell-hole that is Cancun.

On the other hand, places like Akumal and Tulum don't have the infrastructure to deal with serious damage. If the 305 gets cut, there is almost no way to move heavy loads into a disaster area.

Kygz: Still no rain for Ohio.
/at least my part of Ohio

Holy Crap,
Northeast Ohio is getting hammered.

It's been raining here since yesterday morning.
Pretty much non-stop!

/at least you don't have to mow.

My parents just built a house in Belize. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Man, am I glad we were there two weeks ago instead of this week. Actually all of the stops on our cruise have been in the path of the storm, Jamaica, Grand Cayman Island and Cozumel.

It would've been a fun week at sea - and maybe we could've gotten our stop at Labadee in.

Good luck to all of the folks in the path.

This Dean's wind is louder.

Double secret probation? Psh. Try dodecatuple secret probation.

"Oh, yeah. Chhheeeeeeeeese!"

seventypercent: What happened to lexslamman and the rest of our resident play-by-play meteorologists?

They always made hurricanes more fun.

Saw Lex posting in an TS Erin thread last week. Hadn't seen anyone else though...

I am sweating bullets today, because I am right in the path of this monster, and I am not getting a kick out of these replies at all.

I am at 27.5 N by 97.5 W and the storm is at 17.9 N and 82.4 W as of 2 PM Eastern time.

That puts it 666 miles to my south, and roughly 1048 miles to the east.

More importantly, it is moving about 10 miles to the west for every 1 mile to the north, good news for me but bad news for anyone to the south.

Theoretically, a big high pressure dome over Lousy Anna will push the thing south and we won't get clobbered.

If anyone believes that I know a cute little African hottie with big tits and $16.8 million she wants to stash in your bank account; I would be more than happy to introduce you.

If that high moves off, which it could well do, and that storm takes a classic right turn, that puts me right in its path.

I am ready to run, and advise anyone in a similar situation to do the same.

The one thing known for sure about hurricanes is they are absolutely and totally unpredictable.

Better safe than sorry, and be prepared always.

There is now a good likelihood that Dean will impact significantly the Cantarell and the KMZ oil complex which constitute the backbone of the Mexican production. (pops)

QUESTION: Did everyone notice, gasoline took a 25-cent jump almost overnight as soon as that storm blew up?

meenkya, used to live in Chardon, now in Florida. Looks like more coming your way!
