The sites that say the first picture is 'Tropical Storm Graham' are wrong too -- no way that's a tropical storm. If it were, and that close, the waves would be monstrous, whitecapping, etc. As opposed to how calm they are in the photo. The wind from a tropical storm doesn't just start up all of a sudden, like someone flipping a light switch, y'know.

yyou guys obviously werent in the path of the storm. Va had 16 hurricane deaths- more than ever before. there is a street 6 blocks from me that has 4 houses in a row( 4000 sq feet homes) that have probably 20 70 foot tall oaks crushing them. just laying on top of each other like dominoes. this whole region is like that.

Yup, I knew there was something I didn't like about that picture, but I was thinking more along the lines of photoshop. That is not the Atlantic Ocean. The water is the wrong color.

The Isabel picture is a hoax. Cool, but a hoax: It seems to have been intentionally mislabeled.

Funny how the eye wall curves around the other way like that.
