http://www.eebmike.com/ The one to the West of mainland Mexico is nothing to worry about, the one in the Gulf of Mexico is Hurricane Gustav, a cat 2 hurricane which is due to hit landfall this morning. New Orleans & others areas have been evacuated.

Edit: downgraded to a cat 2

Thanks Leggs and Woo...both of your sites make me feel better. Mine makes it seem a big as Gustav...

It is a beautiful graphic ....

These look like InfraRed spectrum animations,

If you will notice the center (of our Eastern Pacific storm) turns blue (cooler) while the center of Gustov turns a brighter pink which would indicate much more heat=energy being produced.

Thank's for providing the site,
