Hurricane Jeanne almost upon Florida
Jeanne made a rare extra turn and, after initially heading out towards the middle of the Atlantic, she turned back around and re-emerged as a full hurricane.
In the four hours between the images below, and in the closeups (if you click on the images below), you can see that Jeanne has slowly moved across the northernmost of the Bahama Islands.
