too funny. this would be like the air force going on a bombing mission and forgetting the bombs. a fisherman going without the pole, a hunter wihout the gun and so on and so on...pathetic at best.

Apparently the same guys are at work right now at the space station:

Ok, I know this is getting waaay off topic, but I just had to add this. When I was a little boy, my mom made a fruitcake and forgot to put the fruit in it :lol:

Maybe she also worked at NASA.?.?

from the above linked FoxNews article...

However, spacewalkers have a long history of losing material in space. In July, Discovery spacewalkers lost a 14-inch-long spatula that floated away

um, why......nevermind.

Let's not stray away from the topic here and that is TD8.

Yes, and you would think one of these would make it.

Here's another pretty shot. Looks suspiciously like a center near 12N/23W. Not an eye, just the center.

yeah... storm is south of the NHC track, which is not a surprise with the ridging to the north

Does have to contend with some major SAL for a couple of days until the next wave moves off of the COA and blocks the SAL

Nice shot wxman 57. Keep them coming! :lol:

Time for a little climo. This is a graphic of all storms passing within 65nm of 12N/23W from 1851-2005. Only 1 made it to the U.S. - Dora in 1964. One other little storm grazed the NE Caribbean - Luis in 1995.

So one would conclude the odds are fairly slim of this ever seeing the CONUS. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Wasn't Georges from near the same area around the same time?
