this is always my favorite page.
If I lived on the Atlantic Coast I would prefer to see a northern bend on that page.
Right now it looks like it will actually make contact instead of just moving by like Bill and Danny.
i meant that i liked it for the animation [of any of the storms].
it goes without saying that i like ANY page that shows a storm NOT coming this way. 🙂
My problem is having family and friends spread all over, so I have to check to be sure they are surfing down in Baja, or on a cruise somewhere when one of these things hits, I do appreciate not having to fire up a chain saw unless I want to.
