Ernesto, which became a Category 1 hurricane at 5:04 a.m. today, is over Hati and rapidly intensifying. E could become a major hurricane so pay attention. The track right now has it headed for the Gulf Coast of Florida in three or four days.
Here’s the latest on this storm, which is haded for the Gulf and Florida getting stronger. Note that there is potential for the storm to cross Florida and skirt the Outer Banks.

One quick aside: The difference between media outlets when it comes to hurricanes always amazes me. When I see a storm like Ernesto crossing Hati and see a headline at the same time say it is a “potentially dangerous” storm, I just don’t get it. Is something only dangerous if it is dangerous to the mainland U.S.?
