yeah john, what's that one that's close to the coast and furthest left? if you watch the satellite pic from the second link above, you can see the clouds start to rotate just as the frames end. could it be another big storm or not?

That would now be Tropical Depression Number 7; soon to possibly be Gaston. That was a lucky guess earlier, LOL... NOAA also noticed it earlier today. It'll prob become Tropical Storm

Are you guys seeing this?

Frances is now going to become a Hurricane again and hit Florida... AGAIN!!

If that's not bad enough... that Charley came in from the West as a Cat 4, then Frances hit as a Cat 2 from the East... now it looks like Ivan, which is growing quickly to a Cat 4 will hit from the bottom and go straight up.

It's like... one from the left, one from the right... one straight up the middle... Uppercut.

Geeeze :-?
