There's some glimmer of hope. Some of the (computer) models are beginning to show that it may miss the coast.

This is a huge storm.

We're concerned about the very heavy rainfall over most of Florida. We're looking at three or four days of heavy rain down here, accumulations of up to 20 inches. It's not going to be a pleasant time.

The fear of a stall is that it makes the storm surge much larger, because it sits there and pushes water up on the coast for a long time. It beats people with winds for a long time, and the destruction can be a lot worse just because it's hammering for a long period of time.

I don't understand what's happening out there, but things are popping.

We've had (rain) accumulations of as much as 25 inches in some locations. We're going to see that show up in the rivers for the next two or three days, eventually into the Rio Grande.

There is concern with the mountainous regions here, we think wind gusts could hit up to 150 miles per hour. There's concern too for high-rise buildings in Puerto Rico.

We have a tremendous dilemma.

It's going to around for a good while and that heavy rain is going to really cause suffering.
