about the "check this out" thread. I posted that pic and did not realize it was a fake, :oops: :oops: :oops: . It was posted on a local weather board here in New Orleans. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. No harm intended.
P.S. Marshall deleted the thread before any more chaos over it could occur. Thank you, Marshall.

It was the fake WREL pic showing Isabel hitting the New Orleans area, or pretty close to it.

Don't worry about it at all Bonnie!! If I had seen that, I probably would have done the same thing. A big "oh my gosh" and then shared it.

Now, what kind of an idiot would tamper with it like that? I hope Scott gets them good!!

LOL! Well, i had to wonder with the various tropical models carrying it that distance they must have picked a forward speed upwards of 25 knots in 5 days.

No sweat at all. I couldn't believe it and checked the WREL site to confirm.

LOLL
