Earl appears to be making some people nervous already. I am reading about unseasonably cool temperatures around Lousianna.I was wondering about Charley. Could he have developed subtropical characteristics since the in-land damage was so narrow and so oddly patterned. For Instance, there were places in the path that were clobbered. Then other places that were for the most part unscathed. I may still be in aftermath shock but, something is bugging me about this hurricane season.

nevermind.. i was going to comment, but see that clark did a better job below. -HF
