Hurricane Update #3

It's just about 9pm, and all is quiet. Very, very quiet. No rain, just a slight breeze. From what I can tell, the storm is hitting further south than originally expected. Which means that El Salvador will catch most of the hurricane's force.

In fact, here's the latest from the National Hurricane Center in Miami:

...CENTER OF HURRICANE VERY NEAR THE COAST OF EL SALVADOR...

A HURRICANE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE COAST OF EL SALVADOR.

AT 8 PM PDT...THE GOVERNMENT OF GUATEMALA HAS DOWNGRADED THE HURRICANE WARNING TO A TROPICAL STORM WARNING FOR THE PACIFIC COAST OF GUATEMALA EAST OF SIPICATE TO THE BORDER OF EL SALVADOR...AND DISCONTINUED THE TROPICAL STORM WATCH FROM SIPICATE WESTWARD TO THE GUATEMALA-MEXICO BORDER.

It seems that Guatemala will escape most of Adrian's fury. So let's keep our thoughts and prayers with the people of El Salvador and Honduras tonight.

More news tomorrow!

Rob...Keep your hair dry by holding on to your Yankee hat. The subway series starts tonight, Yanks vs. Mutts, heeheehee, I mean Mets. I pray the Yanks pound the Mets and most importantly the storm ends soon and everyone is safe. Love, Marisa

Rob, don't worry, hurricane season doesn't start until June 1. By the way, After what Florida went through last year, we wouldn't wish it on anyone. Go Marlins... :)
