    Yes yes I know the hurricane season is over but check the national hurricane center website and you will see that this needs watching.

    Love

    That's true, but Olga is going much Southern. If it doesn't change its mind, it could hit Central America.

    Remember, last year, there has been one in January, so hurricane season??? :roll:

    I'll show my true laziness and ask what's the difference between a sub-tropical storm and a tropical storm? Is it sub-tropical because it formed outside of the tropics? Or is is sub-tropical because it hasn't reached tropical storm windspeeds yet?

    And personally I doubt we'll get more than a bunch of rain. If I understand correctly the water is not warm enough for this thing to turn into a hurricane of any import.

    Rain is good. I love the way it destroys Cancun's roads and makes all new potholes, it makes driving here an adventure.

    Why did I ever sell my Jeep CJ-7? That thing loved potholes.

    "Sub Tropical" means that the outer bands have the strongest winds
    "Tropical" is when the innermost bands(eye) have the strongest winds
