Let's all wish love and care to our Coastal Catters and anticipate singing Bob Franke's "Halleluja, the Great Storm is Over"!

My youngest sister lived in St. Thomas for a few years, and I got REAL intersted in tracking hurricanes (your attention tends to focus when your loved ones are involved). She lived through Marilyn, and was without electricity or running water for 3 months! Anyway, here's a few sites with satellite images and tracking maps on them. Remember, when the storm's coming, these sites get overloaded real quickly; it's useless to try to get onto the National Hurricane Site, http://www.nhc.noaa.gov, right now!
