Back form Arlene...thankfully not as bad as it could've been, but the damage from Ivan along the coast still remains to a large degree. It's going to be years before that area recovers from that storm. There's more on the blog; now, a rest before we start watching the low some of the models try to spin up in a few days' time.

Edit: I'll reiterate what I noted on the blog here, and thanks to Terra and Danny, both here and in PM, for expressing their concerns about the matter and kicking some sense into me to remember to add this. I, my employer, and the CFHC do not condone storm chasing. It is a dangerous exercise with great potential for danger, particularly with regards to amateur and media participation in such activities. If a storm threatens you, don't go out and chase it....get away from it.
