arlene's last mile

i don't think anybody's gonna throw rotten vegetables at you, mike. if arlene doesn't make the cut, you/me/most of the mets, even the nhc forecast team this evening were duped. 'sides, its arguable that arlene did make the cut. they usually use a 10% reduction factor to sfc winds (but i can't remember if that's the 850mb level or what). well either way it's REALLY close (989mb is more often associated with hurricanes than tropical storms). of course, i might have to bow before the almighty rabbit for making fudds out of us (sucker costs me a fortune in blossomed shotgun barrels).
