Some of those cool Sept 21 images are increasing my anticipation of the T72 flyby (due to happen in about 17 hrs)!

The extent of this cloud and its shape seems unique compared to what we've seen from Cassini's cameras so far. Still it may be very similar to the event of April 2008 where tropical storm clouds were documented via ground based observatories (NASA infrared telescope facility initially). It would be interesting to learn if this event is right now under observation from the Gemini North observatory!!
The animation below depicts the extent of the cloud on the Titan planetary grid.
??? have all the Sept 27 raw images come down ?
