Re: [OM] OT: Weather Heads-Up

As I can tell from the natural beauty of the pictures you post.

As a category 1 this storm isn't much with respect to wind velocity (I 
saw much worse in hurricane Andrew in '92) but its characterisitic is 
that it is simply huge with a tropical storm wind field spanning 900 
miles.  I don't live anywhere near the coast these days (at least during 
hurricane season) but it's expected to pass overhead here very 
s-l-o-w-l-y and beat us with rubber bats for a couple of days.

On the other hand you wouldn't guess the sort of trouble the news media 
is talking about with only a 3-4" rainfall prediction for where I am. 
Go figure.
