Re: gustav looking strange on loops

Hard to locate the center, and although Cuban radar not as high resolution as what we are usded to, looking at right now it does look as if the center is still either very close to N coast of Haiti or even maybe drifting back over land.

Do not under estimate the disrupting power of the mountainous terrain of the "rock". I agree with the kinda wait and see mode right now, not too early to be prepared but too early too panic, it is still only a TS now and the more it gets torn apart the more this will affect not only future intensitiy but future track. Once he clears land and starts to become better defined then we may be able to put some confidence in model trends.

(media wasting no time in hyping this up, already effecting oil prices)
