This reminds me that I'm in for a bit of weather tonight and early
tomorrow as the hurricane goes by. Category 2 now (or is it soon to
be?). Regardless it will pass close and could even turn back to pure
north and slam us. Too close for comfort.

Here's a good satellite photo (look at the first and latest one). The
weather on television shows a map with a little swirl and a projected
path. These pics show just how large hurricanes are.
