Isaac Possibly Headed To Florida; GOP Convention On Alert
August 22, 2012
Tropical Storm Isaac is churning in the Atlantic, possible headed toward Florida. The latest details on the storm are in the graphic above.
Isaac, the ninth named storm of the season – giving Republican National Convention officials something to think about. While the storm is not terribly well organized, early forecast tracks have the storm moving into the Caribbean, crossing Hispaniola and Cuba, possibly by Sunday evening. But after that, Isaac could become a problem for the GOP convention, which starts Monday in Tampa.
Official forecast tracks don’t project much beyond Sunday, but some early possible paths would include the Gulf coast of Florida early in the week. State emergency officials have said they’ve done exercises contemplating the possibility of a hurricane hitting Tampa during the convention, and have drawn up evacuation plans that account for the huge influx of delegates and media.
