Goes along with the Wahoo catch story (http://myfox8.com/2014/09/08/extremely-rare-wahoo-fish-caught) the jellyfish story (http://epod.usra.edu/blog/2014/09/by-the-wind-sailors-sunfish-and-sea-anemone-at-ocean-beach-california.html) and some of the tropical weather we've had and apparently will have more of next week.  There's also a big fetch of moisture streaming in from Hawaii reminiscent of the bad rains we had in January 3 or 4 years ago.

I have a feeling there's a decent El Nino going on, but the recent hurricanes are cooling the surface and making it look weaker than it truly is.
