MIAMI.- The National Hurricane Center issued its latest bulleting on Tropical Storm Erika, located at 16.5N Latitude, 59.5 W  Longitude, around 400 miles east of the Leeward Islands, moving west-northwest at 15 kilometers per hour, which places its projected track closer to scraping the country’s northeast coast.

“Disorganized Erika approaching the Leeward Islands…a little weaker. A tropical storm warning is in effect for Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, St Kitts & Nevis, Anguill, St Maarten Saba and St Eustatius,” the NHC said.

Locally, the National Meteorology Office said Erika is expected to affect the Dominican Northeast on Friday.

I voice Fred's Zoom Feature concern. PLEASE FIX! It has been broken for way too long. Set the Z-Index to a higher level or set the Div Tag as an absolute positioning. I know that some controls like data repeaters (which this may be one) will cause that too, in that case, move the Ad down another 200 pixels or so when the length of the article is below an X amount of characters or height to prevent the bleeding.

FredC,

I am 100% with you on this one......it really annoyed me when I was trying to view some of the beauty pageant beauties and the dreaded ad got in the way.

It’s really distressing to think, but the 2009 Hurricane Season is not over yet. There are still tropical storms forming, and one of the few active systems is Hurricane Erika, or Tropical Storm Erika. Hurricane Erika is currently sulking about the southern Caribbean, close to the Leeward Islands, part of the Lesser Antilles chain. Hopefully, Hurricane Erika will die off before making landfall or head farther out to sea – as it takes more than payday loans from http://personalmoneystore.com/Payday-Loans/no-Fax-Payday-Loans/ to clean up hurricane damage.
