Ed, that was beautiful...let me add some from August 3, 2004 (including some of my own...wouldn't be fair to leave them out)

Names will be kept private to protect the guilty:

"Does this mean it's 2 for Tuesday? Cat 2 and TD2."
>That's just plain funny.

"I am declaring TD2 a fish except for the northern antilles. Stick a hook in it...its off to the hurricane graveyard.

(On the other hand, i declare that Anonymous declarations without explanations are probably about as reliable as some of the models )
ED"
>ED beat me to this one

"I see the track forecast puts Alex as a 50kt storm in your area in 2 days."
>Referring to TD2...unless Alex were to make a 270 degree "about face" and really die down, I think Luis is safe from Alex (hitting PR).

"the GFDL brings 92L to a tropical storm in 36 hours"
>Varmint's first post on 92L

"I just can bite on all the models forecast of 91L thru the N part of the islands yet"
>Huh?

"the position advisories seem to be comming in every hour"
>Just an example of the HanKFranK school of spelling

"it was an actual advisory. the next one come at 3pm instead of 2.
>Daylight come an me won go home

"Also....what is the purpose of showing an 11 hour old quiksat?"
>Think it was the link, not the source

"according to the 4pm position, Alex is at 745.8 longitude "
>where is that, on the moon?

"The best example of this is a 1000mb estimate of Isabel's central pressure last year by the GFS/AVN when it was a Cat 5 hurricane."
>And what does GFS stand for?

"Don't believe everything you read Rabbit...there is no such thing as 745.8 Longitude....74.58° maybe??"
>Post speaks for itself

"Well, I was wrong on TD2 being Bonnie at 5:00"
>called contrition

"forgot to log in for that post
get kicked off any time i leave the site "
>we can make that happen

"An example of one storm in August that didn't turn north and came from the same neighborhood about this time of year was Andrew in '92."
>let's hope not

"Hatteras now looks like it is just sticking out into the eye:-"
>Didn't know geography moved

"i've been there all morning but cant get the hirt update."
>Big hurt

"She will develop. She is not Debby, Debbie or Debra.. she isn't a fish and she isn't a duck."
>Just cuz

"look at the time on the TD2 Scatterometer
There is no closed low, but this is also from 11 hours ago"
>Um, why?

"Also....what is the purpose of showing an 11 hour old quiksat?"
>See above

"This will likely be downgraded to a wave when the recon plane gets there tomorrow and finds a sharp wave. I'll give it another 18 hours at best"
>Anyone agree?

"Think it could go both ways"
>Sorry, couldn't resist

"varmint is already calling for it's quick demise (says it's already dead even), but i think it has other plans."
>Amen, HF

Cheers, all, all in good fun!
