Dave,

I agree.  The imagery would be very useful to all.

I will pass along your request for the imagery.  In the mean time, however,
try looking for the images on NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center
anonymous FTP server, cyclone.msfc.nasa.gov.  The GOES-10 imagery will
live somewhere under Weather/GOES-10.
