This season is really kicking into gear!

Although, the Atlantic Basin has a ways to go to catch up with the pace the EPAC is setting!

NOTE TO AB: You really don't HAVE to!

It doesn't look that great but is is coming up on the CV islands so maybe that is why it is up!!

canarymoon · 07-02-2008, 12:12 PM

Could be. And the water is REALLY warm there, so could blow up fast.
