This journey just got a little more terrifying

There's a storm a-brewing in the Carribean area known as Hurricane Richard.

Here is a little excerpt about it from a news article this morning:

"At 3 o' clock this afternoon Tropical Storm Richard was near latitude 16.2 degrees north and longitude 81.7 degrees west which is about 440 miles east by south of Belize City, 437 miles east by south of Dangriga and 432 miles east by south of San Pedro Ambergris Caye. The storm has strengthen a little bit since this morning, maximum sustain are near 45 miles per hour and its moving a little faster moving west at 5 miles per hour, still very slow but a bit faster that it has been moving the last few days. The current projection does have the storm likely to make a impact of some part of the coastline late Sunday night or early Sunday morning and intensification into a hurricane strength is quite like to occur during Sunday, most likely Sunday afternoon. Currently the storm has tropical storm force winds that extend 105 mile out from the center and if it intensifies further the radius of those tropical storm force winds will quite likely increase so it's a storm that we have to treat with a high degree of caution and my advice to the general Belizean public would be to be very vigilant and to monitor closely the reports being issued by radio and television this weekend."

Well, we'll see how this goes, play it by ear. Worse comes to worse, our flight will be delayed on Sunday, and the gals and I will spend a night or two in Dallas, Texas. Yee-ha.

If not, we have a bumpy wet ride to Belize and go on with life.

Send good juju/thoughts/prayers/meditations to the weather, that if it does storm, the people in these areas will be okay.
