| Ive been shitting it about this weather all weekend and yes its a tropical storm now. All the forecast tracks have it missing Cancun HOWEVER - you can never tell with these things. Last year Dean was forecast to hit cancun right on mor or less - but it changed direction slightly at the 11th hour and hit further south and made a real mess!! We're scheduled to fly out on Saturday from the UK and I'll be watching this weather very closely! Got 3 night shifts to do from tomorrow - and MAN theyre gonna be long ones storm watching!!! Heres hoping that Gustav (which is what the bloody storm is called now) keeps the hell outta Cancun and doesnt cause too much damage anywhere really. Florida realy does not need anymore bad weather really!! Max xxxxx |

| Not worried about this one at the moment at all. All the tracking paths have it heading pretty much where TS Fay went. (BTW we didnt see a single drop of rain or even a cloud as a result of Fay) It could change direction but a change to a more southerly direction would be unusual, these things normally change to be more northerly if anything. |

| just checked the nation hurricane center and it looks like from yesterday, it has changed and cancun will take some type of a hit, although not direct so I am guessing it wont be to bad! http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at2...?5day#contents

| Hmm, yes this one has changed course massively in the last 24 hrs, things not looking so good now for Cancun... possibly jeopardising the cruise on Sunday. |

| Well I would say that Ive become quite well versed in watching these f**kers over the past 3 years and it all depends on how Gustav interacts with land. I know hurricane Dean went south last year and missed Cancun however most of them have made a move north. If Gustav goes south - I think Cancun will get battered unless it goes WELL south. If it goes North and into the gulf of mexico then Cancun may get rain and some wind but nothing too bad - but you never know!! Oh well - nowt we can do about and the safety of everyone who lives in Cancun ir who's gonna be there is more important than my holiday. So I pray the bugger goes north and doesnt cause too much damage to anyone really. God my night shifts are gonna be long!! I bet I dont sleep a wink through the days either. I'm gonna look a right state IF we get to Cancun on saturday LOL Hey Ho - mother nature eh? (biyatch LOL :lol: ) |

| Right now it's hot and sunny with a few puffy white clouds around and well over 90F. You can always get an idea of current sky conditions at my webcam site: http://www.webcamcancun.com/ We wont see any effects of this storm until Saturday. |

| Hey folks, Keep praying and using the power of thought maybe we can all steer Gustav away from Cancun. I am sure it will stay away from Cancun - mother nature can't be that cruel and have another one like Wilma hit again so soon. Max - I cant believe its only four days until you go - keeping my finger's crossed for all that are heading out of the UK over the next week - our friends viv and neil head out next Tuesday. When I see your countdown it makes it even closer for us to go - two weeks today we will be in London. Take care everyone and keep praying and everything crossed that Gustav will stay away from paradise. Bye for now Lisa x x |

| Its odd, I have a friend going to the bahamas this weekend, and yesterday she thought her trip was in danger. Today, things look perfectly fine for her. Now it looks like cancun may take some sort of hit.... I hate it!! Pray pray pray
