"Jimena still looked awe-inspiring even when it diminished to a tropical storm."

Well, tropical storms are kind of awe-inspiring. Lotta energy in a system like that.

Actually, Jimena was a Category 4. There's speculation that it was briefly a 5, but it was never official. I think it dropped down to a 3 before it made landfall. And Southern California isn't getting any of that rain. Dammit.

Around the time of Katrina, I came across a government web site which had lots and lots of satellite photos of hurricanes, and I downloaded this image (of Katrina), which is now one of the desktop pictures of my laptop. Unfortunately, I cannot recall which web site that was.

@Roklimber: I'm feeling kind of bad right now because I recognize this image from a YTMND site. It was less than couth.

@Stephen Goldmeier:

No problem.

Of course, though, these images are all fake because, really, who is naive enough to believe in satellites?

Besides, we all know that the Earth is flat, and you can clearly see that the pictures show a curved Earth. And no stars!

Damn you, government agencies that use Photoshop...
