If you see in the website address it says "atlstorm23" which is Vince, and when you open it you have Lenny, 1999.

That's the track of the only storm to ever move west to east through the Carribean Sea, isn't it?

Yep...looking at a picture of Lenny...approaching Puerto Rico from the west...right here on my wall.

PS: The picture hanging on my wall is not approaching Puerto Rico from the west right now. My 8th grade English teacher would pop me on the head for that sentence above.

Well, FYI, the Weather Channel said the end of Hurricane season is November 31st. This was said yesterday by the meteorologist that reminds me of a Kindergarten Teacher. Can't remember her name now.

Well, this is news to me. TWC just said the caribbean was "fairly" quiet. Spent more time talking about Vince than anything in the Caribbean Basin.
Oh well..... :roll:

I know which one(s) you're speaking of and she drives me nuts! Impending doom on the way and she's just so darned perky! I feel like I should have my Crayola 128-pack with the sharpener on my desk when she's on.

Tsk! Tsk! Let's quit with the nitpicking on TWC please. We all have our faults. I for one am tired of seeing people pick up on little things....everyone of us have made mistakes too....just remember that.
