What an amazing tropical season!

I just read in awe this evening as Ivan was reborn a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico! YES, he has taken a southeastern US loop off of the SE coast, back across Florida as a tropical leftover, and then, he got his strength and name back in the Central Gulf! And right now, we have 4 named storms in the Atlantic Basin! I am feeling we may have five by sometime tomorrow! enough ramblings, we have Jeane to watch! I am sending an early alert on Jeane. She has made a loop as well North and east of the Bahamas. She has started her westward move back towards the US today. She has been a bad girl already. She killed over 700 people in Haiti. I am concerned of her destinations. I am thinking she is headed very near the FL/GA coasts! She could come on shore somewhere North of Daytona up to GA/SC border (Though up the coast all the way to the Delmarva is not out of the question). She will likely not go too far inland if she reaches the coast as she will start turning north, and then Northeast. Here is the concern.. She will be close enough to cause wave action and possible storminess for the Eastern Shore and Southeastern VA.. BUT, my serious concern is that she makes it just inland and starts up the coastal plain from GA, SC, NC, VA, MD, and DE.. moving slow enough to cause yet another round of ridiculous flooding in the SE US. SO, we need to be watching and don't dismiss her! I mean.. I dismissed Ivan and he is back! More to come the next several days.. which, by the way, will continue nice, though fog will definitely be an issue in the mornings!
