Re: help me identify these islands and this hurricane!

Actually the top of the page is west.
Large island is as stated and Puerto Rico is just below it on the left side of page
The smaller island just outside the storm cloud is one of the Turks or Caicos islands.
Mayaguana comes to mind...but I'm real rusty in that area.
Possibly could be a picture of Andrew '92. But something tells me the satellite pic wasn't that good back then.
Georges '98 also passed through the same area.
