America south of Haiti so I’ll have to take your word on its significance. But damn – do “extra tropical lows” often get that huge in the Atlantic? That’s continent-sized!

Speaking of S. America (& Western Hemisphere) and way OT: Just started reading “1491” about the Americas pre-Euro contact. The thesis is that recent work by historians, archaeologists, geneticists, etc., shows that indigenous peoples were vastly more ancient, numerous, settled, and culturally advanced than even most educated laypeople realize. Fascinating but as with most popular works one wonders about its veracity if only in the details…have you or anyone here read it?
