Not to be a gloomer but I guess I am a watcher. TD 9 could become Isacc and might head due west they say. one report had TS Helene right off Africa where Irma was born heading North. hope so, but im leary of any of those in the cape verde area.
Be prepared as always and be safe.

I will worry about them after hurricane Florence, which still is heading for the east cost of the US.

Helene looks to be a fish storm to me. TD 9 looks to be much more problematic for somewhere in the islands. As candj said, Florence looks to be bad new for the US.

candj hope you're located far away from projected hit of Florence. We worry about a daughter who just moved there. And we worry Florence might hit further up the East coast.
