This time of the year one of my daily reads is the National Hurricane Center’s website. It’s just part of being a weather junky. Today I was presented with this:

That’s a tropical depression forming way out in the Atlantic and has a 60% chance of developing into a Cyclone over the next 48 hours. The system is moving west by northwest and is expected to move more northwest in a day or so. That’s going to get awfully close to the Gulf, and if it keeps forming could mean a hurricane heading right to the oil disaster. Isn’t that some great news? I’m also sure BP would love that, as it would give them an excuse for not stopping the leak.
