Meet Tropical Storm ISAAC

At the National Weather Service Hurricane Center Winds are currently at 45MPH putting it squarely in the Tropical Storm category. Hurricane is between 74MPH and 110MPH. Still to far off to be certain but it looks like it's going to hit Tampa right when the Republican National Convention is scheduled. This could get interesting... From CBS Tampa/AP:
Mayor: �Absolutely Prepared To Call Off� GOP Convention If Isaac Threatens Tampa
Tampa�s mayor warns that the Republican National Convention could be canceled if Tropical Storm Isaac heads for the city.

Mayor Bob Buckhorn told CNN that he is more concerned about the safety of his people than holding the convention.

�Absolutely we�re prepared to call it off,� Buckhorn explained to CNN. �I mean, human safety and human life trumps politics. I think the RNC recognizes that.�

Buckhorn also added that the city has contingency plans ready in case of an emergency.

�I don�t think it�s going to be a factor in this particular convention,� Buckhorn told CNN. �But we are prepared in the event that it is.�

Isaac could threaten Florida as early as next week.
Calling off the convention if there is the hint of a breeze. Why yes in fact, he is a Democrat. Why did you ask? Posted by DaveH at August 22, 2012 6:33 PM
