Dan, Thanks for the reprint, I did miss that post and I am glad to hear that at least in the MLB area, we (this site) are thought highly of and that Skeeter's efforts gained the recognition they deserve. I am dead serious about the value of his depiction of the official forecasts. I *know* they caused a number of my neighbors to reconsider staying in their trailers as Charlie and Frances approached. They had NO IDEA from either TV or the NHC or newspapers just how big these storms were, how powerful and how far away from the 'line' they had to be to be reasonably safe from the worst of the damage. One of them did NOT have a trailer to come home to after Charlie. I credit Skeetobite directly with saving at least one life or limb and if that was all he ever accompolished, he would have still done his 'duty' above and beyond.... If the NHC can be convinced to pack as much info into their graphics as Skeeter does, and if our comments in any way result in a positive change in this area, then I feel the savings of life and limb would be multiplied many times over what my personal, local crusade fortified by Skeeters maps, ever could accompolish. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, THIS board, and the people on/in it are the best and save lives and property every year. Not too many web sites can say that!
