Thanks for your comments.  I will consider generating regional tiles.  
Since you are probably interested in the areas immediate to Minnesota, I 
also generate a Midwest composite at a higher resolution... (0.01 degree 
pixel versus 0.02 degree pixel)

Perhaps I can get a high resolution floater up and running tonight for 
Isabel?  For those interested, here is NASA site with GIS imagery
