Awesome pic....(hope my 8 isn't on that ship...lol)

wow
nice pic

That's a great pic!!

...I'm sure this ship must be heading north? after the storm was coming to shore that morning?

...I can't see how the ship could be going south or the hurricane would come right at it.

Who took the photo and what's the bearing?

Oh My!!!! That is really f*****g cool! I tried to get up to the storm, but no go....waiting for one to hit Fla before halloween:eek:

...Notice this first pic; sunlight hasn't even hit the coast yet. Hurricanes hitting the Atlantic coast always turn counter-clockwise. With how far reaching the storm was to the north, I'm still suspicious of the tanker traveling north. It could be traveling west as you say, but the lighting doesn't seem right to me.

Here's the pics from accuweather.

its better than most of the other's i read today

Hate to be a party pooper:

"Meteorologists (including Dr. Steve Lyons, the Weather Channel's hurricane expert) agree that the photos displayed above are not pictures of any hurricane at all, much less Hurricane Isabel, which struck the eastern United States in September 2003 — they depict shelf clouds or wall clouds typically associated with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes rather than hurricanes, and the water in the first picture appears too smooth for the area of an approaching hurricane. (Even if these images did depict the approach of a hurricane, they're too old to be photographs of Hurricane Isabel — these same pictures were circulating as photographs of Hurricane Claudette back in July 2003 and of Cyclone Indigo in April 2003.)

Some believe the photographs to have been taken in the midwestern U.S. or Great Lakes region, although at least one source identifies the first image as being a picture of Tropical Cyclone Graham, which hit northwest Australia in February 2003."

Don't believe much of what you see on the net... we see shelf clouds like this all the time on the great lakes, and that freighter looks like an ore carrier, which would be consistent.

It's a gorgeous pic, but the first thing I noticed was how flat calm the water was. I thought it was just an example of "the calm before the storm".

I have a question. How come hurricanes always have typical white names? I feel that is racist and it angers me. Not really, but just something I noticed. You never see Huricane Julio or Taniqua etc.

How come you never see a hurricane with my name? :P

They used to just name hurricanes after women... you can guess why... but ultimately that was deemed offensive. Perhaps it's the same reason they don't use "ethnic" names for hurricanes... wouldn't want to offend people by calling them a hurricane?


I know I'm reaching really far...

thats cool how its just a cloud of darkness approaching.

Because a bunch of old white guys are the ones that sit around and pick the names.

But, seriously, there are a variety of names in the list.

The one out there now is Irene, the next one will be Jose -- a decidedly Hispanic name. We've got Ophelia and Phillipe on the list this year -- I'd hesitate to even call those 'white' names. They're just weird. Next year we've got Ernesto and Oscar (kinda hispanic). The year after that we have Humberto and Lorenzo. The year after that we've got Cristobal, Edouard, Gustav, Marco, Omar, and Paloma.

Granted, there's no "Shaniquas" on the list, but I think that has to do with the relative timelessness of that particular type of "black" names. Perhaps in a couple more decades if those type of names stick around, they'll be used.

its hurricane juan kiss your lawn goodbye! :p
