Re: Gulf Coast Poker Championship (WPT)
Cincy,
Go to link 2 in your post and look at the 5-day cone. It looks like it will be well south of the gulf coast. The National Hurricane Center looks at the surrounding weather (high Ps, low Ps, etc) to predict where it will go and they usually do a pretty good job (actually, usually excellent). The farther out they project...the more error (that's why it's a 5-day cone).
It also looks like the timing will be OK as Dean should be well west of the gulf coast, if not completely dissipated, by Labor Day weekend. But they have been known to do a loopty-loop and other strange things.
I fled Florida to Biloxi a couple years ago on Labor Day weekend when Francis was bearing down on us. It was a choice of having a great weekend of live poker or sitting in my house with no power/TV/AC while Francis stalled just offshore and basically ruined everybody's long weekend.
