See Ya, Earl...

Hurricane Earl as viewed from the ISS

Check out this cool picture of Hurricane Earl from our friends at NASA.  It was taken from the International Space Station while the hurricane was still a category 4.  I'm always awed by the size of these storms.  You can see the Russian Soyuz vehicle docked to the right in the foreground.  It will soon be our only means of transport to the ISS...

Other than some clouds/rain today and wind tomorrow courtesy of Earl, it looks like we dodged this one.  If that track had been a little to the left, this puppy would have roared over Hatteras and down the throat of the Chesapeake.  Would not have been pretty.  Let's hear it for those Westerlies that blocked for us and pushed Earl relatively harmlessly out of bounds!  (Can you tell I'm gearing up for some football!!!).  Enjoy the Labor Day weekend everyone.
