 ;) . . . .  What!?!?!  Again? ? ? . . . ???

In the fall of 1996 I was teaching two courses at the Communications Department of U.C. San Diego.  That year Hurricane Edouard was the strongest storm of that season.  Here is the Wikipedia article about it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Edouard_%281996%29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Edouard_%281996%29)

It ended up being a category 3 storm.  That year I put a photo of Hurricane Edouard on the door of my office.  I don't know if it impressed anybody but it was an "assertive hurricane:"

Alas, I could find any higher resolutions images handy on the web.

So, we'll just have to wait if this year is a good one for "sequels" . . . . . .  [biggrin]

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

Title: Another crummy Hollywood sequel!! (Re: EDOUARD)

Dear WeatherCat fans of good hurricane sequels, (http://www.canebas.org/Weather/LWC_forum/Custom_emoticons/big_grin.gif)

Well, we did get a Hurricane Edouard for a little while, but now it is back to a tropical storm and is fizzling in the colder waters of the northern Atlantic.

Oh well, looks like another one of those botched Hollywood sequels!!  [lol2]

cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]
