Not Talking About Sausage

Hurricane Dean is making a mess of the Carribean, and expected to get worse. It's projected to get up to a strong Cat 4 before making "real" landfall, skipping over the Yucatan Peninsula en route to South Tejas. The good news (from my admittedly selfish perspective, at least) is that the 5-day storm track shows the northeast edge of the probability cone striking the Tejas/Luzianne border. In other words, barring really major direction shift, N'awlins should be safe. In fact, we'll probably have fairly pleasant--if somewhat windy--weather for the next week or so.

Anybody in Tejas thinking about evacuating?
