Looks like a small remnant of Alex, left after that mass broke away and headed northeast toward Louisiana, still remains and could reform as a hurricane again - but with half the mass and greatly reduced wind velocity. Just guessing - from views seen at this link. Maybe this is God's oil-spill cleanup campaign... who knows.

Been hurricane watching for a while and have never seen this type of pattern, at least I don't remember one. Maybe the Lord is getting ready to show He is the boss of the Gulf Coast, and will clean up His own waters.

NN thanks for the updates. Hope everyone is out of harms way.

Hard to call it a cleanup operation since there’s no sign of that gusher stopping in the foreseeable future. But we’ll take whatever we can get, certainly.
