When you look at satellite loops of Bonnie, you get a sense that you are watching a mirror image of a dying hurricane as it races past Nova Scotia as it merges with the Easterlies.

I think under the present circumstances, bonnie won't insensify much if at all. In fact if it weakened into an open wave, I wouldn't be surprised.

Here in La. they are predicting some blusterly winds and some rain, but we could use the rain and some cooler temps.

As for the oil, the fears are it could get pushed more inland, but maybe that won't happen and the choppy seas will help agitate the GOM and it will in fact break the oil down and help it dispurse.
