Hi gang,
here is the position forecasts plucked from the 11 am Nat. Hurricane Center
Storm Discussion of Hurricane Bonnie.....
Bonnie appears to be heading due north so it looks like she may start the
expected turn toward the northeast.....
annotations by me. forgive the cross posting. Everything is approximate
Can someone forward this to Wallace Coffey, in Bristol, Va./Tenn.? I
deleted the Hurricane Net address by mistake this morning. Thanks.
Best,
Rob Hilton
