Well this Hurricane Mitch in the Gulf is really something else now - I swear that the other day I switched on TWC and they were like "no development expected," then the next day there was a TS, next day a hurricane, and now a 145mph hurricane! But as I remind people on the CASI Mitch Page, Mitch is still not as strong as some of the more memorable hurricanes - speaking of maximum intensity only and saying nothing of landfall - GILBERT - 185, HUGO - 160, ANDREW - 155mph. http://www.weatherwatchers.org/tropical/1998/13/ -- ============================================================== Jesse Ferrell - Meteorologist/Web Dev. - j{at}weatherwatchers.org FWD: From Charlie Anzman: ---------------------------------------------------------------------
