Dr BB Should Look at Visible Sometimes

The TS was clear as can be in the visible yesterday. IR isn't good for everything.

DrBB did make an interesting point (although it may have been lost in his rant). TS "MARCO" is one of the smallest seen in a long, long time in the Atlantic. The measured TS windfield is TEN NAUTICAL MILES in radius. Unreal. This follows on the heals of "IKE", which like "K05" was one of the largest Atlantic storms every measured. This begs the question, much like TS cyclogensis itself: "WTF is going on?" We don't have a clue why some of these are so small and others are so large, more or less why storms form in horrible conditions, and refuse to form in ideal conditions.
