"Hurricane Frances and 9/02"


John,

I've been reading the letters on 5 Doves for a number of years now, but have
never posted.  Something interesting happened this morning at work and
thought others my like to hear it.

I have a link on my computer to The Weather Channel to see current
conditions where I live.  This morning it showed that the current temp was
66.  At first I didn't think anything about that, but after more than an
hour I looked at it and it still read 66.  I tried to refresh the values,
but it wouldn't change.  After about another hour it went from 66 to n/a.
In all the time I've had this link it has never showed n/a.  A few minutes
later I was thinking about hurricane Frances and it's possible impact on the
US.  I decided to add the numeric values of Frances to see what they added
up to.  Well, when I first did this it added up to 70 because I spelled it
with an i (Francis).  So I didn't think anything of it.  Then I looked at
the internet to get an update on the hurricane and saw it was spelled with
an e.  Since i had a value of 9 and e had a value of 5 I subtracted the
difference of 4 from 70 and got 66.  As soon as I saw that I happened to
look at the clock on my computer and it read 11:11.  Plus, the date today is
9/02 and when added together is 11.

Don't know if all this is a coincidence or not, but I thought it was
interesting since many of the people that post to this site have talked
about seeing various numbers, especially 11.  I guess we'll know soon
enough.

Thanks,
Brad
