These images change every six hours, so look fast,
but I think Orlando, Florida is under a curse:

That far out, the farthest out tip of the predicted
path of a tropical cyclone wavers the width of a
continent from forecast to forecast, if I were a Los
Vegas bookie, I wouldn't be putting much credence in
an Orlando three-fer, but still...

The only things Orlando would have missed if Ivan
follows that track is a tropical cyclone coming down
from the Arctic via violation of every physical law
known to meteorology, or maybe up from the middle of
the Earth via one of Florida's famous sinkholes, or
down from outer space via alien pre-invasion
softening up wind-generator machinery...
