From the Miami Herald:

The tropical wave is some 1,100 miles from the oily disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. It could go anywhere from Florida to Mexico. It could wind up little more than rain and blustery wind. […]
For now, it’s uncertain whether the disorganized wave will disrupt BP operations. The National Hurricane Center gave it a 40 percent shot at strengthening into a tropical system by Friday.

    9 0 % !!!!

    And the end of the month is less than a week away!!

    I’m getting goosebumps!!!

  10. I’ve been saying it all along: Obama should lead a crack team of scientists on a top secret mission down to the depths of the Gulf.
