Check the current status, in the animation that started this thread :
country threatened by TWO cat. 5 hurricanes - Ivan, Javier (unprecedented) There are more unprecedent things visible right now :
- the first time that a new born hurricane (hours old) manages to survive the highest mountains in the Caribbean (Dominican Republic)
- the depression that took the shortest time ever to turn into a hurricane (Karl, eastern Atlantic)
GOES East Hurricane SECTOR Water Vapor Image - animated gif (Javier, Jeanne and Karl - not to forget Ivan)
I can't believe the frequency of the storms this year.
Someone on a previous thread said "looks like a parade", how true!
