waves

very typical of a non el nino year, all three systems this year developed form tropical waves

Alex moved off of Africa on July 19
Bonnie moved off of Africa on July 29
Charley moved off of Africa on August 3

also, seasons beginning to remind me a little of 2000 and 2001--like 2000 this year seems to have the waves comming off of Africa at low latitudes (as joepub1 mentioned earlier) and like 2001 the systems seem to all be moving pretty fast
