    ok..well, no hurricane (or rumour of one moving through) on the satellite pict of the Gulf of Mexico.

    Season starts June 1.

    No matter what they hit, I hope they are ok.

    Preliminary reports say the Spit hit the Hurricane on landing. D Rogers has some shots of the aftermath up on FenceCheck.

    Jeez, two warbirds in one clip! At least the pilots are ok and the planes salvagable.

    Didn't look like there was any major frame damage. Should be no problem to fix.
