Yeah Danielw, my good Mississippi neighbor to the north, being a USM alumni I'm quite familar with Hattiesburg.

I noticed the same thing last night as well, the split, and the eastern half drifting north to nnw. I've been trying to find a circulation all day and late this evening is the closest I got to finding anything hinting of a circulation. You get that much disturbed weather in the GOM, you just have to monitor it for some kind of circulation.... something for us to watch over the day or so... People on the east coast have the main action this evening.... Alex might just surprise a few people before its all said and done.
