I have been hearing about it on the news, it looks like a stom to your eye on, anyone in that area , keep safe and keep us updated on this storm is going if you can thanks

[Riot]

yup there are two out there and two more disturbences out there as well. One with a high level of formation out near africa and one with a medium level of formation half way between... Tis the season for the parade of storms...  It is the time of year for anyone in south florida to become obsessed with noaa.gov.. It is a daily if not multiple times a day trip to the site..

Looking at the 1900's the worst storms were in September. Not a good sign.

Have you seen the latest on Hanna?  Looks like we're in for some rough weather by Sunday.  She's turning right toward the Bahamas and the Turks & Caicos are right at the bottom of the Bahamas chain.
