 * Oppose with regret: I love the colour sat and wide view but sharpness and resolution need to be nearer this example to challenge this, arguably less informative, FP. mikaultalk 13:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. The caption ("makes landfall on Nicaragrua's Mosquito Coast") seems inaccurate-- the storm is well east of Central America, between Hispaniola and Lake Maricaibo.  Compare this one.Spikebrennan 18:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
