Is this the one behind the one we were watching? I'm confused.

Duh.
Invest 99 just became TD 3. Another wave just emerged from Africa is also being monitored.
Plot maps take TD 3 (possibly TS Chris if it intensifies) just south of the Dominican Republic in about 48 hrs.
Ah, Forecaster Franklin! Seems like an old friend. :-)
Thank you. They are so much easier to mentally keep track of when they have names instead of numbers. I was never good at math.

Very perty! ;)
I have a brother in law in St. Croix. But I never can figure out which of those little dots it is. I hope they're not in the path, altho we seem to get whacked more regularly and harder up here in S. FL than they do!

Wonderful, maybe it can hit Cuba and put ole Fidel's brother to the test while Fidel is outta action.
My mother-in-law lives on St. Croix. Sure hope the island doens't get hit.
Oh great. Dueling Hurricane Ping lists. (sigh)
