Tropical storm Ernesto made landfall just west of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba at around 7 am EDT, and is now moving over mountainous terrain in southeast Cuba. Rapid weakening is expected over the near term as Ernesto passes over Cuba, and will likely be a tropical depression or weak tropical storm when it re-ermerges over the Florida Straits. Modest strengthening will likely occur thereafter, and Ernesto will likely be a category 1 hurricane when it makes landfall over South Florida in 48 hours. Given that Ernesto will be an fairly weak hurricane, the TornadoVideos.net team has decided not to deploy for this event, since we could drive to a thunderstorm in western Oklahoma and experience the same wind speeds.

LOL, or how about the majority OFD storms of 06. I'm not skipping any other events this year.
Yeah I'm in DEEP depression after Thursday...the only time we don't go to SD and all hell breaks loose. You have got to be kidding me.
Did you see Mike Hollingshead's page the other day? Poor guy
Yeah, I talked to him about 2 p.m that day, and after I didn't see his report, wondered if he got caught in between those two areas. Everyone has bad years I guess. He'll be back in the saddle again soon.
