Who came up with the hurricane metaphor?

Who came up with the hurricane metaphor?

agile | project management

Someone came up with the idea of using hurricane prediction tracks as metaphors for Agile project planning. Who was it? I want to give credit where due.

UPDATE: It seems likely I heard it from Tim Lister at ADC 2004.

UPDATE2: Clarke Ching knows more. He first saw it in Frank Patrick's blog in September 2003.Frank got it from James Vornov, who got the picture from Dave Rogers. Thanks, Clarke.
