I'm sure that I am not the only student covering this subject as a news article but weather FASCINATES me because I think I want to be a meteorologist. In the CNN article I read, the storm has already moved through Cuba and Haiti causing 6 deaths in its second destination. In southern Florida, 6 communities have issued evacuation warnings and they are already experiencing heavy rain and tornado warnings until 5 p.m. tonight. Tomorrow evening, the eye Isaac is predicted to hit the southern part of Florida. The storm is expected to brush the Mississippi coast on Wednesday morning (the 7th anniversary of hurricane Katrina) and possibly southern Louisiana. The storm might also become a hurricane after traveling through the warm Gulf of Mexico. It is expected to become a category 2 but any hurricane can cause great damage, especially in the cities located below or at sea level. Scientists are worried that Isaac will re-damage the areas that were hit by tropical storm Debbie earlier in the summer. So far, all we can do is sit by and watch the storm move up and into the Gulf of Mexico.
