The Atlantic seems very busy atm with two new storms inc Danielle
which is the first this season to form so far east. It has a long way
to go over water which could provide a lot of energy. All this while
charlie has become a Cat 5.

I thought Charlie only made a Cat 4 at it's peak, it's a lot less now
that it's running up the east coast of the USA.

After decoding todays synops for the USA I was expecting much higher
rainfall totals. The highest 24 hour total upto 12:00 noon gmt was
Jacksonville with 59.4mm. Orlando had 46.2mm and Tampa only 12.2mm.
Have I missed something?

For more follow link below Worldwide Reports choose date from
pop-down menu under USA.
