All computer models now call for Earl to remain offshore til Canada: http://bit.ly/cyDh8G. (CLP5 isn't a real model, it's just climatology.) Platform owner: Coast Guard wrong about everything. No injuries, platform *was* producing oil, no leak seen. http://bit.ly/bGlu3i #FogOfOil Drudge has officially labeled Earl a "MONSTER." As is his wont, though, he's using an outdated satellite photo. http://twitpic.com/2kkz77
RT @wunderground: RT @MDScienceCenter: Where's it going!?!? @wunderground explains computer modeling of hurricane paths: http://bit.ly/bLgY3u College football gods, pls refudiate all realignment talk until January. Offseason's over, it's time to PLAY FOOTBALL now! #PANIC! RT @TomDienhart: USC AD Pat Haden told OC Register on Wednesday that he would consider the idea of USC going independent in football RT @JimCantore: If you are still evacuating the OBX take NC64 west just south of Nags head! DON'T go highway 12 north to 158 or 168 its a parking lot. Yep. First game of season. RT @zachbloxham: Presbyterian College visits Wake Forest at 4:30 MDT! #collegefootballheroin #5.5hours RT @breakingweather: "#Earl will bash Nantucket & Cape Cod with 100-mph winds Fri night...damage as far west as Boston" http://bit.ly/bXV1Di RT @Tommytrojan11: Fight On for ol SC Our men Fight On to victory Our Alma Mater dear looks up to you Fight On and win For ol SC Fight On to victory Fight On Per @NovaYankee's request, here are the latest Earl computer model tracks: https://my.sfwmd.gov/sfwmd/common/images/weather/plots/storm_07 My guess at Obama's reaction to new oil rig explosion: "Let me be clear: What the F***?!?" Between the terrible economy, oil rig explosions, Iran, Israel, hurricanes, etc., I'm reminded of this article: http://onion.com/9D6rID RT @BostonUpdate: Coast Guard: All 13 accounted for after new Gulf of Mexico oil rig explosion, fire. http://ow.ly/2yAlJ RT @NickGustafson: @brendanloy reportedly in 450 feet of water instead of 5000. Could be bad, but not Deepwater Horizon/BP bad. Nonetheless, #PANIC You cannot be fucking serious. RT @cbs4denver: BREAKING NEWS: An offshore oil rig has exploded in the Gulf of Mexico CNN Breaking News -- Oil rig explodes 80 miles off Louisiana coast; 12 people reported overboard and one missing, the Coast Guard says. RT @herloyalsons: My gawd, I'm at an unhealthy level of giddy to see the premier of "Lane Kiffin's USC" CNN Breaking News -- Hurricane warning issued for part of Massachusetts as Earl approaches East Coast. No. RT @corcoran310: you mean, sitting around throwing back bourbon and telling stories about "how they always say that" isnt a good idea?? Re: Hurricane Earl, let me be clear: If local officials tell you to evacuate, #Get #The #Hell #Out!! If Castle loses DE-SEN primary & the Democrat wins the general, and the Senate ends up 50-50, I will laugh my ass off. But challenging Castle is sheer lunacy. Even if he's a total RINO, that's the best cons can hope for in a state like DE! See: Brown, Scott. Challenging Murkowski (AK) and Bennett (UT) made sense. Angle (NV) hasn't worked out well, but on paper, was arguably a risk worth taking. RT @worstfan: WHO'S READY FOR SOME TOWSON-INDIANA Y'ALL?!?!?!?!? RT @GameDayFootball: Do you smell it? College Football is BACK! bust out your coozies and face paint! Games kick off tonight! Tea Party war on Mike Castle in #DE-SEN is unbelievably destructive to hopes of a GOP Senate majority. Shows the immaturity of the movement. RT @breakingweather: "The waves are the big story w/ #Earl. If you're ocean front from NC to New England, get ready." - J Ferrell via @weathermatrix RT @JimCantore: Still watching #Earl this AM and leaning on staying in Hatteras.This place is a bunker and built up on a dune. The wild ride begins tonight. RT @InTheBleachers: Can we clear up an ideal as football is upon us: is a league better b/c it is deeper or better b/c it has national title contender(s). RT @TheCaptain11: happy college football opening day! Heh. RT @iowahawkblog: Everytime the Hawkeyes score a touchdown, God kills a communist #AmericasTeam The Stanford Tree sends its regards. RT @LisaHorne: Penn State Nittany Lion mascot suspended for one month: http://tinyurl.com/2bt7hyj I think this calls for a #GetTheHellOut. RT @nytimessports: Hurricane Earl Attracts Surfers http://bit.ly/9ERmaK Is @glennbeck increasing acceptance of Mormonism in some corners of the Religious Right, thereby greasing the wheels for @mittromney? Hmm. RT @MattZemek_CFN: DING! DONG! DING! DONG! #SINGALONGEVERYBODY It truly is... The mooost wonderful time of the year..... #SINGIT #LOUDANDPROUD #COLLEGEFOOTBALL Twitter for iPad just came out, and I haven't seen my Twitter timeline praising something this universally & fervently since "Inception." I was tempted to say #PANIC in tweet re: Earl strengthening, but people take me seriously re: hurricanes b/c of Katrina #responsibilityblows Good roundup of Earl-related links -- local media, radars, maps, etc. -- from FLhurricane.com: http://bit.ly/aKMnMp Hurricane Earl's sustained winds up to 140 mph; pressure drop to 932 mb implies they could strengthen further. http://bit.ly/97U1RM .@NickGustafson I guess I didn't specify whether 1 of the 3 is a bowl game. :) At resurgent UW, at OKSt in post-TX letdown game, & in bowl? I like this, but then it's hard to see how NU loses 3 gms, as I #fearlessly #predicted. Hmm. RT @NickGustafson: Texas goes down in Lincoln. RT @raphiellej: Cincinnati will beat Oklahoma. Have the inkling that the Sooners are a little overrated. #fearlesspredictions RT @brando_minich: Michigan State will flounder all year. Like normal. #fearlesspredictions RT @brando_minich: Wisconsin will be an early Big Eleven title contender, but will fall apart down the stretch. #fearlesspredictions RT @brando_minich: Penn State will beat an Ingram-less Bama, causing all sorts of JoePa hype. They will then lose to a bad Big Eleven team #fearlesspredictions .@arodwc21 I left that deliberately ambiguous. @ Arizona? @ Oregon St? @ UCLA? Since I made UA the Pac-10 champ, I guess I should say them. .@corcoran310 I'll go with Iowa to win, just to be different, and because I can't stand the thought of a 5th straight SEC title. #itsaWAR Anyone else want to share their #fearlesspredictions on this glorious College Football Eve? At least one of these predictions, however, will come true, or close enough to true that I'll be able to crow about it. #fearlesspredictions
