#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Sept. 15, 1999 -- More Hurricane Floyd

September 15, 1999: We continued tracking Hurricane Floyd, which skimmed Florida and headed towards the Carolinas:

For a mid-morning update, we shifted from the satellite view and used a photo of idiots in the big surf:

For the PM update, we went back to another satellite photo:

[Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998. I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag #20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
