Global warming isn't a proven fact and isn't causing hurricane seasons to become active. Hurricane seasons go through active periods. 2006 and 2007 had hardly any tropical activity near the U.S.

Tropical Storm Hanna will make lanfall in South Carolina tonight as a possible category 1 hurricane. It will then race to the North East and become extra-tropical.

Hurricane Ike is expected to slowly weaken as it approaches the Bahamas. It will then regain strength and become a category 4 in the Gulf very close to Florida.

Tropical Depression Josephine is very weak and will not be a threat to land.

It should be hitting somewhere between Savannah and the border of South Carolina. I don't think it'll be too bad for us.

Hurricane Gustav has made landfall in Louisiana and currently has winds of 80mph. It will slowly move west to northwest and tornados along with flooding rains are higly anticipated.

Hurricane Hanna: Tropical Storm Hanna has been upgraded to a category 1 hurricane and is expected to hit South Carolina on Saturday. It is expected to intensify to a category 2 hurricane by that time.

Tropical Storm Ike: TS Ike has formed in the Atlantic and is expected to reach hurricane strength very quickly as it moves due west towards the bahamas.

A new storm off Africa is expected to become a tropical storm very quickly and follow Ike towards the bahamas.

Hurricane Gustav is now a Category 3 hurricane. It weaken after crossing Cuba. However, forcast call for Gustav to make landfall as a category 4 hurricane. Restrenghening is extremely likely over the gulf's warm waters.

It hit category 5? I guess it went down then. It's rated category 4 right now, but it's quickly growing to category 5.
It'll get nasty. My dad already got a call from his work saying he needs to leave immediately to go help in Dallas. He works for homeland security.

Gustav Update:

Hurricane Gustav is bearing down on the extreme western side of Cuba and has winds of 145mph. (Category 4) It is likely that Gustav will reach Category 5 intensity before it hits Cuba. The Cuban landfall will not affect the intensity much and Gustav is expected to retain Category 4 or 5 status as it enters the Gulf. All residents along the Northern Gulf coast should moniter Gustav very closely.

Tropical Storm Hanna continues to become better organized and is heading towards the Gulf of Mexico. It is likely that Hanna will follow Gustav into the Gulf by next week.

Elsewhere, a new tropical depression may be forming off the coast of Africa.
