HURRICANE IDA?

I'm surprised they haven't made it a hurricane since the winds at the surface are almost
at hurricane strength. This data was taken from Buoy 42056 in the Yucatan Basin - Ida
is essential over the buoy at the moment. Wave heights are approaching 25 ft.

I'll go with Central Gulf Coast - Cat 1, looping around Florida, back into the Gulf, back
into Central Gulf Coast as a sub-non-tropical-tropical-himacane. I figure I have to
extend my forecast since I waited so long to put in my prediction.

I'm leaving the hotel in Marrakesh to return to New Orleans - hopefully. Should return
late Sunday night or Monday morning. Stay safe Geekygirl and Klingfree. Ida completely
ruined my non-tropical season...
