Cool site.

Why does The Weather Channel have Fran as a category 2 into Wilimington? I thought she was a 3 at landfall in Wilmington?

Per the NHC, here's landfall info:

6/0030 33.9 78.7 954 100 kts. landfall near Cape Fear, NC

That's 115 mph...and a cat 3. You are right. I'm surprised the TWC whiffed on that -- maybe they were thinking Bertha instead of Fran. Bertha landfalled as a 2.

PS -- thanks for the props on my site.

Sure haven't seen many hurricanes with a track like that this year. Oh where are our Cape Verde storms

Fran actually struggled badly until it got east of the Bahamas because it was following right behind the monster called Edouard(which passed just east of Nantucket Island).

...the other thing I noticed.

The caption is Hurricanes within 65 miles of Wilmington in the last SIX years.

Um, 1996 was 9 years ago.

Wow, that's true! They sure did not put much time into making that graphic.

Remember people, this is TWC we're talking about here. Not exactly the brightest organization in the world. I wonder how many years they consider a decade. Maybe 16?

TWC? Bright? They've dumbed down weather so much over the last five years...
