Storm Watch No. 5.0, 2006:
Hurricane/Tropical Storm Ernesto

Ernesto can't quite make up his mind ... tropical storm or hurricane? The track is also an odd one. Most of the computer models have Ernesto hooking over South Florida -- although maybe not at hurricane strength -- then picking up power again in the Atlantic before striking somewhere between Georgia and North Carolina.

People in those areas -- as well as those along the Gulf of Mexico (because you can never tell) -- should be preparing now. A Category 1 storm can still produce flooding and and winds up to 95 mph. Power outages are likely.

The National Hurricane Center has all the latest.
