From the looks of it I'd say that they tend to leave them where they are until something happens. I seem to remember that earlier in the year they had one trained on the Washington area and the other on Florida.

Nah, that's in your television set. I swear to God my father believes that. He wont sit directly in front of the TV; always sits off to the side so the "hidden camera" cant see him. When he walks by it, he always gives it the finger. And my dad is 70!!

Im happy nothing is out there right now. Its hard to focus on my school work with all these systems. Give me another 7 days or so to recharge and then bring the storms on again.
