NASA and Spaceref.com have posted several pages of photos of Isabel from the International Space Station. Because she’s heading right for us, I’ve been closely monitoring things since last weekend, especially via the NOAA National Hurricane Center page. The current models predict that the center of the storm will track to the west of us, which is good on the one hand because it may mean weaker winds, but bad on the other, since the strongest winds in a hurricane are generally on her northeast corner. It looks as if tomorrow afternoon she’ll make landfall in the Carolinas, ensuring that Thursday night into Friday morning will be pretty nasty here in southern Maryland. For everyone that is in the path of Isabel, let’s stay safe and hope for the best.
