Breaking on Fox right now. "The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm could grow by Thursday into a hurricane as strong as Katrina, which struck the city a year ago Tuesday." (Story released earlier, can't find current update)

Wait! He's being pro-active! That goes against the party line!
Oh...no...never mind, he's a Republican.
He's trying to incite panic! He's taking choices away from people!!!
Should call Blanco for advice...NOT.
Why did he wait this long? I demand a recall.
/sarcasm
Did he get permission from Kofi Annan first?
He's exploiting this natural disaster for partisan political purposes!
This one never gets old....
Sure is nice living in a state where the governor has a clue.
You go there Jeb. How many will this have made and for the very most part a hell of a great job.
Unlike say Lousiana who's governor shouldn't be working in the pet impound area of government.
We'll muddle through again, eh Joe? LOL:)
I am going to miss Jeb- been great having an adult as governor here.
A good word to Floridians: You've got your chance now. Don't be like people in New Orleans.
GET OUT NOW!!!
That Karl Rove is such an evil genius, bwahahahahahaha!!
*cough*toggles HAARP controls*cough*
He couldn't have pulled it off without help from Diebold.
boy you must hate pets
Halliburton makes those, right?
Live west of Port St. Lucie and have got hit three times in last two years. No problem we handled it. Will get it done again this time.
Time to batton down the hatches. Not going to wait around for the government to take care of my sorry butt like the sorry folks in N.O.
SPORTS ARENAS REPURPOSED TO REFUGEE CAMPS,
Bush Unfair to Professional Athletes.
Diebold makes the voting machines..But my local cell of the vast right wing conspiracy told me they had a hand in the Karl Rove Weather Machine (KRWM).
Who knows? Halliburton probably had a hand in it too.
Nobody knows about the Halliburton sub-orbital death ray yet...
Aww crap...
This Sarasota resident is glad to have Jeb on our side. He's a pillar of strength.
Fear monger... /s
I trust Governor Blanco is doing the same in Louisiana since the path is still undecided.....

As I have stated in the past on threads, Dubya' could be the "Second Coming" and the Democrats would chastise him for making an entrance.
If Jimma' Carter were President in these ominous times the Dem's would be praising the great work although it would be a TRUE disaster with his handlings of it.

Fox story finally up.
He is -- by far -- the best governor in the USA and -- if it weren't for his last name -- he'd be our next president.
Even my liberal democrat friends down here like Bush when it comes to this stuff. :)
susie
Um....where do we go?
susie
It's just a ploy. Rove/Bush are lulling those Dem blacks in FL into a false sense of security. He'll strengthen it to a hurricane and hit those black folk. It's the plan. Don't say the blacks in FL were not warned!!!
Karl's just fine-tuning the weather machine. :-)
Hurricane Ernesto..... it's all (Jeb) Bush's fault!!!!!!!
Just recently downgraded back to a tropical storm--but didn't Katrina do that too? Which is why so many people decided to ride it out?
He ought to declare a state of emergency over the way his buddies at big insurance are cornholing Florida residents.
I miss Jeb. I recently moved away and now have a wimpy Democrat governor.
Good luck in that glass palace, Jellyjam :-) I will be watching this one.
Especially since it was his fault for letting Katrina get by Florida in the first place!
I thought that machine was in Dick Cheney's basement... oh, wait, that was the Halliburton Tsunami generator...
If the predictors are as wrong about this path as they were about the original path, this storm could be headed towards the Azores by Tuesday.
Snap, snap!
Pay attention here Nagin. This is how you are supposed to do it...
All of the GOP contenders for Gov. are claiming that they are "in the tradition of Jeb Bush." He's got coattails even though he's leaving office.
I wish to GOd taht Jeb could serve as Govenor forever....I really hate to see him go.
ABC News is giving the same "big-as-Katrina" hype. My money says it is a max of two. (I only leave home for 3s and up.)

I'm sure glad I live in the Pacific Northwet where the biggest thing we fear is the massive 9+ earthquake that could strike at any instant without warni
Generator is checked out and running OK and we'll start bringing things in tomorrow. Don't think we'll need to board up here in Central Florida. The models are saying it will be a cat 1 (hopefully just a cat 1 or less) when it hits. I hope, if it does hit, it scoots along and gets out of here. Don't want another Frances.
The secret was let out an hour ago. Bush can call God to cast hurricanes on his enemies.
