bottom right.
No satellite picture?
I've been watching this tropical wave for the past two days. It has every sign of developing into a significant hurricane.
hardly breaking news at this time.
BTW, couldn't they name a tropical depression every time Kerry visits Florida?
This has all the potential to be a big storm too....lets hope that if it becomes something worth really noting, it doesnt hit anyone...
It doesn't look like it can hit us, but we have been getting gobs of rain (so what else is new).
Say 'Hello' to Bonnie.
I was watching the Weather Channel on Sunday evening and the fellow at the Hurricane Center in Coral Gables was very intereted in this tropical depression. There's also another one right behind it but he kept referring back to the "soon-to-be Hurricane Bonnie".
after all, everyone knows that most tropical "depressions" start in Mozambizque..(g)
Thanks. While I was bitchin', everyone was posting pictures. LOL
