Oh, and you can turn it, if you live in another part of the world. That's fascinating! :)

@cherokeepatti That can be dangerous, too, and cause dangerous flooding.

@AbbeyRhode I know, the first time it happened when I lived here I was working till 12:30 at night, a guy that didn't have a car needed a ride home, the water was already up to the curbs and had a hard time telling the road from the sidewalk in the trailer park. Then I got out of there and drove straight to my home in the country but there was a flooded bridge at the bottom of a big hill and I stopped, another worker was behind me and said his car drowned out but he checked the water on the bridge and it wasn't deep and wanted me to take him the rest of the way to his house. I sat there a few minutes and then told him I was afraid to do that. Turned around and went to my aunt's house and stayed there, was soaking wet and cold because in order to see to drive I had to put my window down. The next day the driveway was washed out so I didn't get to work till it got filled in with a shovel.

Actually, there are currently 3 hurricanes in the Atlantic/gulf of mexico (Jose - cat. 1, Irma - cat 5 and Katia - cat 1.

I use WindyTV.com Good for weather forecasting.

@shuhak I think the website was messed up for a minute, now it's showing 3 hurricanes.

@cherokeepatti Jose reached hurricane strength late Tuesday. Katia reached hurricane strength late yesterday. Really cool to watch them move on satellites. Intellcast.com has a good one where one can zoom in/out of a particular area (right down to the hurricane's eye).

This is really neat, thanks for sharing!

Also Irma is terrifying.

@CaptainCanadia another hurricane out in the Gulf of Mexico, no telling where it's going to end up
