T&T: TS Dean

[Jim Ague]

> now have Dean, predicted to be a hurricane by Friday and approaching
> Hispanola by Sunday.  The middle of next week could be exciting on the
> Florida peninsula.  And, yes, I know it is pretty early to predict......

For those that want to join yet another emailing list, one that will send 
you info, in text form, about tropical depressions as they progress into 
hurricanes, go to http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/signup.shtml. Not as pretty as 
what many websites will do for you, but great if your internet bandwidth is 
limited.

I clipped, trimmed and inserted a sample of the latest announcement for TS 
Dean.
