YIPES!

This GOES 12 photo is truly extraordinary, not only due to the near record power involved (at 26.99 it's only three one hundreths off a record low pressure of US hurricanes at 26.93), but for its awful beauty, partly due to the raking sunlight at the close of a very dark day.

Great Pictures. My present employers not withstanding, is there another government agency that performs better than NOAA? I think not!

Going by the great Walt Kelly of Pogo, I nominate the Tennesse Tidal Commission and the National Beetle Adminstration.
