Tropical Storm Nadine And The Outer Limits

Deborah asks:
Ever see the Crawling Eye?
One cloud.
Never moved



One cloud? Never moved? Eeeeeeee!

Several days ago, the computer modeling for Tropical Storm Nadine showed the storm approaching the Azores, stopping, then reversing direction along exactly the same path. In reality, Nadine veered before reversing direction, so it wasn't precisely the same path - more like an elliptical oval - but the idea of a storm that approaches, but never quite arrives, time after time after time, each time a little closer, struck me as something out of a horror movie (or, alternatively, just a typical summer's day in the Valley of the Sun).

Reminded me of the Outer Limits (Episode 'Cold Hands, Warm Heart'; given a different soundtrack here:)
