This years hurricane season is especially violent.
Whilst Hurricane Ivan is still on his way to wreak havoc,
another storm is brewing off the coast of Puerto Rico.

Present projections place Arecibo Observatory within the path of TS Jeanne,
which already has windspeeds of 63 mph.

I do not know what windspeeds the Arecibo
dish can withstand without sustaining damage.

Does someone know? I would button down the hatches, in any case.
