Re: Tropical Depression Eighteen Forms East of the Bahamas

Looks like two rapidly deepening systems. Rita may be more than expected for the Keys and South Florida. Those waters are unpredictable and rapid intensification is possible. Also Philippe's latest pressure by recon is down to 988. Looks like an interesting few days. I lived on Big Pine Key for a few years, I hope the many evacs over the past two years with no hits doesn't create a chicken little mentality down there.
