Ida alcanza categoría 2 frente a costa de Cancún
El Meteorológico Nacional informa que el ciclón mantiene su desplazamiento hacia la península de Yucatán, ubicándose 80 kilómetros al este de CancúnWe're to land in Cancún in three weeks.
El huracán Ida alcanzó la categoría 2 en la escala Saffir-Simpson por su paso del Caribe al Golfo de México y mantiene su desplazamiento hacia el noroeste, con dirección a la península de Yucatán.
El Servicio Meteorológico Nacional, informó en su último reporte a las 10:00 horas que el meteoro se encuentra 80 kilómetros al este de Cancún, quintana Roo y a 75 al este de Isla Mujeres con un desplazamiento de 17 kilómetros por hora y vientos sostenidos de hasta 150 km/h.
Ráfagas de viento azotaban las palmeras, y los pescadores retiraban sus botes del agua mientras la lluvia y las olas caían sobre Cancún y el vecino Puerto Juárez.
Los hoteleros y pescadores a lo largo de la costa caribeña mexicana, incluyendo el balneario de Cancún, retiraron sus embarcaciones del agua en anticipación a las lluvias y el viento a medida que se aproxima Ida.
Las autoridades dijeron que lo peor de la tormenta seguramente llegará a Cancún hacia el mediodía. Aconsejaron a los residentes que permanezcan dentro de sus alojamientos y que no saque la basura a la calle.
''Ahorita esta muy, muy tranquilo'', dijo el director de la Defensa Civil Rubén Arévalo Gutiérrez. ''Pero nos van a tocar lluvias y ráfagas de viento''
La Dirección de Protección Civil en Yucatán habilitó desde las primeras horas de hoy, 95 albergues distribuidos en igual número de municipios, incluyendo Mérida.
Algunas familias decidieron abandonar sus viviendas en lo que concluye el temporal y ante el riesgo de que el huracán Ida, afecte también parte de la franja costera de Yucatán.

H&M: Weather to blame
A snippet on top of page B1 in todays's Wall Street Journal has this headline: H&M says weather caused poor sales. Say wha?
Worse-than-expected September sales at Swedish fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz AB, which operates the cheap-and-chic H&M chain, shows increasing competitive pressure from two sides: even cheaper discount stores and mid-market retailers dropping prices.
Competition, price pressure.
H&M, the world's third-largest clothing retailer by sales after Gap Inc. and Inditex SA of Spain, said sales in stores open for at least a year fell 8% in September from the same month last year. Analysts had forecast a decline of only 7%.
As a reason for the poor performance, the company cited "the recession and unusually warm weather in September in most of H&M's markets," which limited shoppers' interest in the fake fur vests and knee-high boots of H&M's fall collection.
Naughty weather.

Red clouds
The threatening skies over Citi Field in the second inning could have been a sign that it was not going to be a good night for the Mets.
After work, I drove back to Queens, and stopped in the supermarket in the Cross Island shopping center to get bottles of seltzer (and bought two pairs of shoes in a newly-opened store). Around 6pm a huge dark cloud cover loomed overhead, and threatened a storm. Just before 6.30 the rain suddenly started, followed by a peal of thunder that boomed in tandem with a bolt of lightning. After dinner I went out for a walk with the dogs, around 8.30, and saw this sky: the color and the shape of the clouds were mesmerizing.

Hurricane Ike
Ike's moving deep into the Gulf, and Houston is under threat. Gov. Rick Perry today urged coastal residents in Hurricane Ike's path to evacuate immediately, describing it as a storm that could swamp houses in Galveston and other areas to at least their eaves. That's from a Houston Chronicle piece.
Its progress is something to behold.

Hurricane Ike batters Cuba
This piture is from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (how'z that for government bureacratese?), now referred to as NOAA. Look at that red blob, in the top picture, swirling back over western Cuba. As the hurricane moves west its swirls in a counter-clockwise pattern. In the second picture, look at the red line of hurricane-force winds. Haiti has been battered by the last three hurricanes; poor people.

Who said you could park there?
Strong winds pushed this Duth cargo ship onto the beach of Sables d'Olonne on the French Atlantic coast. What a sight to see when you go down to the shore for your morning constitutional."The Dutch-registered cargo ship Artemis was blown onto a beach at the Atlantic coastal resort of Les Sables d'Olonne and an attempt would be made to refloat it later on Monday, [French maritime authorities] said, adding there was no danger to the environment."
Across, on the other side of Le Manche [English Channel], things were also tough. Witness the waves that winds of over 130 kilometers an hour produced, pounding the UK shoreline.

Spring is almost here
We escaped the (forecast) snow yesterday, and can look forward to spring continuing to arrive. Here at my library, the impending snow was a topic of conversation - of course: the weather is a favorite topic for those with time on their hands (and even for those without, no?).
