Will the NHC PLEASE put a floater on Ivan? This is an extremely dangerous situation for island folks.

Not the GOES floaters.

There might be another one from a different source though.

Floater 1 is a zoomed in shot of Frances and Floater 2 is a wider shot of Frances.

I think it's because the people responsible for the floaters don't work on weekends.

Seriously! (At least that's what I remember reading on this board sometime back.)

Floater movers don't work on Sundays- and thye probasbly won't work on Labor day either.

An oversight... but at least it'll keep us looking at the big picture ratherthan every frame wobble.
