Since I have a bit of an attitude with Snopes lately, I went and checked my sources against what is shown on the map. It is actually somewhat accurate for Charley and Frances. But Ivan landed in Alabama rather than Florida. IMO Snopes runs a bit loose themselves when it comes to the facts. But they are in general terms a good resource. xponent When They Are Not Full Of It Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
