Allen..maybe I was thinking Allen and not Gilbert, thanks

Thank you. I think when I keep seeing Gilbert's size I am seeing Allen's speed, thanks. I was busy and living in California during those 80s storms and not tracking as carefully.

As for Rabbit and my earlier post:
For Rabbit again...

Bonnie died out around Central Florida Hurricane Center 2004 - 60-62 W when she picked speed to 25mph..

Charley is currently at Central Florida Hurricane Center 2004 - 66.3 going 24 mph and his center seems to be swirling well and well defined. He does have big color out ahead of him but don't think thats anything other than a strong band that will wrap back in..

similar track and speed but very different storms

**************
may I add... I wish we had cords and advisories for that gap in Bonnie's track to see how the two really compare but there is that drop off in statistics til she was reformed
