Is it a history-making hurricane or a large rainstorm? Brazilian and
U.S. weather officials can't agree.  A large storm, which appeared on
satellite photos to be a tropical storm, came ashore along Brazil's south coast Saturday evening. Brazilian officials said the system had top winds far below the 74 mph threshold of a hurricane and was not a tropical
system. U.S. officials disagreed, saying it was the first south Atlantic
tropical storm on record. Both sides based their estimates on satellite data, since the United States has no hurricane hunter airplanes in the area and Brazil doesn't own any.

But, the big story is The HurriCraft's Corporations Henry Hinklemeir,
who in the 2003 hurricane season predicted just this sort of hurricane!
HurriCraft C.E.O. Chris Hunter boasted in a news conference that this is why the HurriCraft  hurricane symbol is backwards! Hinklemeir said at the
conference "I begged the weather community months ago to look at this and all they would say is 40 years of satellite photos no southern hurricanes. Well now what do they have to say?"
