Re: Tropical Cyclone Danger Areas

Steve & Rob....it isn't just you guys...I am also having the same problem. Could be just a glitch in the system.

You know....that system in the Bahamas sure looks at lot bigger on the satellite photo posted here...

And to cut Steve Lyons a little break, he is only reporting what the NHC is reporting. Which is that the system is moving WNW. They never really deviate from the official forecast, even if we can see it with our own eyes. Remember Irene? WE saw it moving towards S. Florida....the NHC, however, kept insisting it was heading towards the South Central Gulf Coast, and Miami suffered greatly because they would not correct the position. I am sure that once the Recon plane gets in there, they will have a better fix on it. Floridians: HEADS UP!
