Weather hates Florida, and the feeling is apparently mutual. The hurricane is also threatening many other locations that had enough of tropical storms last year, thank you very much! Remember, there were FOUR hurricanes that went through/across Florida last year, and there are still people living in "temporary housing" because of them...

But I share your frustration, and I hope the storm passes quickly and without doing any damage. I can at least hope...

Gas prices will go up because of this weather. I care more about that.

Dennis is a mighty scary site. I wish our Florida members the best. The extra time might be in the best interest of NASA.

Good news, we're not rolling back. So next wednesday at 15:31 (3:31) it's launch time.
Now, as for the hurricane, it's that time again.
