Donna deja vu?
 
I see Donna has just left Bermuda. I haven't been following the weather
recently. Is that big wild system Larry and others been talking about going
to move up her way and do it to her all over again?

If she's heading to New York it looks reasonably good for the next 6
days:

Yes, very, very interesting!

Oh the questions.

I presume that vertical bar on the right is wave height in feet, not
meters. That would be a scary thought.

Do they have any other areas?

Can you zoom in or recenter on target areas?

I wonder what their accuracy rate is.

Yes, the scale is in feet.

Anywhere in the world:

Pretty good in my experience. I never go offshore on my boat without
checking first, and have never gotten any nasty surprises. The navy
has incredible resources and a strong vested interest in getting it
right.

That site sent my IE7 into paroxysms of fear - red tags all over the place
"uncertified site" etc etc.
I'm going to do it again to really give it a heart attack.

Looks like she arrived back in Bristol, RI today, all in one piece.

Amazing. I was beginning to worry about her.

She made it to RI.

I read an excerpt from a newspaper story about her. Seems she caused a bad
car wreck and a family died.
After that she couldn't get it together. Maybe guilt, whatever.

I wonder what she does now.

This is like watching a car race and you just know a wreck is about to
happen but not exactly when.
