1. Cool picture!

n/t

[Richardo]

2. "Hard a-starboard, yeoman!"

...and row harder, galley slaves! :D




Very cool picture.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

11. Seeing something like that coming...

...would bring a whole new meaning to "poop deck"

[HawkerHurricane]

18. If the yeoman is steering...

You are in more trouble than just the storm.

Steering is a Boatswain's, Quartermaster or Able Bodied Seaman's job...not the captain's secretary's.

[Richardo]

23. Serves me right - trying to get all sailor-y...

Of course I meant "helmsman", which may not have been right, either.

Reporting for keel-haul, Hawker.

[HawkerHurricane]

24. You want to be keeled hauled...

the long way or the short way?

I Like This One From CIMSS: Landfall

22. WOW

Where did you get that? That's incredible!

[soleft]

3. This can't be real, how can the water possibly be that calm?

5. Thank you

That picture didn't really make any sense as a hurricane.

8. Looks like the wall cloud on an ordinary supercell t-storm

Nice photoshop and/or rendering job.

[WillParkinson]

6. But they are neat!

At least I thought so.

[Superfly]

7. Why does somebody always have to be

a spoil sport?

[pmbryant]

12. It's still a neat picture

It's just not a picture of Hurricane Isabel, or any other hurricane.

--Peter

[HawkerHurricane]

14. Thank you!

I thought it looked 'wrong'. Why would any ship be heading toward a hurricane, especially a tanker running empty (note how high out of the water the hull is...If you have to run into a hurricane, a tanker would fill the tanks with seawater to lower the center of gravity)

[ewagner]

16. Hawker..tanker or Ore Boat

Looks alot like a great lakes ore carrier...smooth water also like Great Lakes...

what do you think?

[HawkerHurricane]

19. On second look, not a tanker

Not enough piping on deck, too many hatches. Bulk cargo, ore or grain or something.
I don't know weather on the Great Lakes; but don't they have nasty storms sometimes? Or was that just the song (Edmund Fitzgerald)?

[regnaD kciN]

21. Maybe...

...it's the Edmund Fitzgerald?

;-)

9. Wish I had my camera and scanner right now in London, at the

Swiss Cottage Library where Isabel 's twin sister appears to be having a major tantrum right outside the window - it's blown all the leaves off the sycamores and stuck them to the panes, so you can't even see outside......

[cosmicdot]

10. wish I could be in London

:hi: and, Camden, in particular



re future generations may have their work cut out for them sorting cyber files for truth versus rubbish

[emad]

13. Camden? It's a gulag infested by

Alistair Campbell (don't go jogging near the heath unless you want to catch something nasty and sexed up...) Stephen Byers (whose staff know how to bury bad news) and various chums of no 1 Blair asshole Lord Levy, currently sucking up to Ras Putin's oil chums in Turkmenistan on Tony's behalf...) And, oh: various money launderers, property squatters, and convicted felon chums of Dubya....

[cosmicdot]

15. other than that, how's the shopping?

... a grilled cheese and coffee at the The Good Mixer?

[opihimoimoi]

17. Its called the calm before the storm

Come, we go surfing

[Crewleader]

20. Sounds like a plan friend...here's a nice view of Isabel

25. WOw that is cool. I just talked to my friend in Poquoson

Still no power. The house he lives in is destroyed pretty much but he had moved all of his stuff out. A bunch of the guys were calling him "chicken" and said he was overreacting.....they lost all their stuff, his was in at his workplace.

The picture is tripped out.
