Tropical Depression Number 12 aka KARL

No reason to be mean to the person who posts what they think is helpful information.

...then in the same token, no reason to be just as mean to Miss Jasmine who is only trying to post helpful information to hopefully calm you down so that potential cruisers don't stress themselves for nothing.

I gotta agree with Madonna on this one...putting too much info out there can be a bad thing…It’s good to be prepared, but why worry about something until you know for sure what it’s going to do….

So true Higgs - kind of like worrying about pool hoppers while I'm on vacation.

LOL…good point Liz---I’m going to Florida the third week of October, and I’ve just decided to hope for the best—I just can’t obsessively watch the weather---what will happen will happen…worrying about it won’t change things and my thoughts are going out to all those in the path of the storm(s) I can’t imagine what you are going through…I hope y’all get through this safely…

Nah, Lisa is right around the corner.

In more ways than one .

I was convinced at the beginning of the season that we wouldn't get to my name. I hope I didn't encourage the weather .

I think it helps if somene translates the information for those who might be concerned. People got confused on the Frances thread as only Advisories and discussions were posted, so I would add in what the weather guy said about sucha sucha advisory--only because I know his credentials and not so much so with the other enthusiasts out there.

And I don't think anybody was being mean to Miss Jasmine--I certainly didn't intend to. Just gotta watch how we say things sometimes--especially if the intent is just to call attention to something and not make someone feel bad.

I do agree that we really have nothing at this point to worry about Karl--aside from him making the seas a bit more motion-y on the eastern carrib. cruise (is that what they are on this week, so much flip flopping I don't know whose doing what anymore).

Thanks Miss Jasmine for the link again--it worked this time.

Lisa, now I know who to blame for this hurricane season.
