Those earlier storms have compounded the possible problems from Jeanne because the ground is already saturated and many structures have been weakened by wind, rain and storm surge, said Ben Nelson, a state meteorologist.
...Jeanne has taken a curious and sometimes devastating path since developing in the Caribbean east of Puerto Rico on September 13.
After striking Puerto Rico as a tropical storm, Jeanne became a hurricane for the first time September 16, as it approached the Dominican Republic.
As it moved over the island of Hispanola, which contains the Domincian Republic and Haiti, the storm weakened to a tropical depression. Then it stalled and strengthened between Haiti and the Bahamas, triggering flooding in Haiti that killed more than 1,200 people.
Jeanne started moving again, crossing the southeastern Bahamas and heading north into the Atlantic, and the storm looked like it would fade away. But the storm made an unexpected clockwise loop, became a hurricane again on Monday and began a slow march west toward Florida.
Oh, the symbolism is rich, is it not? Not that the illiterate Bushes could see it. Jeanne, going along her course and heading back out to sea, suddenly is hijacked, making a dramatic loop in course, and aims straight for Florida. Or how about: previous storms batter and weaken the state, and then along comes the coup de grace.
And here's the current projected path for Ms. Jeanne. Of course, the projected path a day or so ago was "out to sea":
Of course, you are on a "need to know" basis, and you might not need to know if - if - Jeanne was actually headed out to sea and the Russians - or other terrorists - hijacked her.
