Though it's still somewhat early, I've continued scanning for flaring geosats but only have seen one on one evening, and that one was very difficult and brief, a few nights ago. They will begin to be there in a week or less. Now it appears that tropical storm "Rita" may be headed to Texas for next weekend.
