[at-l] Frances - Awesome Bouy Data Showing Eye Passing Over

[icw at esisnet.com (Clark Wright)]

Check thsi out - since I can't chase this one, I chase the real data - 
not the breathless hype on TV.  Here is the URL for a western Bahamas 
databuoy where Frances' eye passed over - having been in an eye myself, 
it is pretty neat to see the wind speeds and directions go around the 
clock 360 degrees over a half-day here - you can also click around and 
pull up graphs of wind speed, direction, temp, etc.  Here is the link:

Here is another buoy, almost due north about 140 miles out at sea - note 
the almost continuous 25 to 30 foot wave heights over an entire day or 
more.  This storm will not be a big killer, but boy does she have some 
girth!
