Downdraft,it looks that at 5 PM they will bump Gordon to 100 mph or a little higher than that,so yes about being the most impressive hurricane of the 2006 season so far.

Finally something to end the "season cancel" retorts. After all, it's considered politically correct here and elsewhere to assume the U.S. is safe and that the season is over if we don't have a 200MPH Labor Day of 1935-like hurricane or at least tropical storm or hurricane hitting land every second. If you want a truly "boring season", look at 1992, 1994, 1997, and several years in the 1970s and 1980s, and even those years, as well as strong El Nino years ala 1997, still featured a burst of activity in the meat to latter half of the season and beyond.

Thank you, Gordon! Thanks for also splitting the gaps between all land masses and moving out to sea!

A nice cane and a fish. Nature doing what it's supposed to and some awesome sat shots of a good storm. No Florida/Texas/Gulf/East Coast arguments, no JB bashing, no NHC second guessing, no gas prices rising, no road trips for Jim Cantore. Just a nice ocean cane to admire and view. :D

Well if we wanted any excitement here, we can't give Gordon any credit.

I'm on a luck streak, First I predict TD 8, Then I nail Gordon becoming a Hurricane, and I might get my cat 3 prediction, I'd only done one thing right all year until now, I should put my luck to use. TD 8 Turn out to sea! 8-) :lol:

It is nice to see an eye.
