Hurricane Season :(

[Beach Runner]

NOAA has just released a statement which predicts more tropical storms than they had predicted earlier in the season. Check out http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/outlooks/hurricane.html. CNN says that they might run out of storm names.

NOAA - Predict away - we are done!!! No more hurricanes for us for the next decade - POSITIVE THOUGHTS!!!!!! :clap_1: :clap_1:

Didn't the Bermuda High, which steered all those hurricanes into Florida, shift in the past couple of weeks? Aren't they talking about more storms moving up along the Eastern Seaboard? I'm trying to look for some "official" info on that. Meantime ... positive thoughts!

I hate to say it, but we should let some other people worry for awhile.

From MSNBC:

The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season will be worse than previously expected, with 18 to 21 tropical storms and nine to 11 hurricanes through November, the U.S. government forecast on Tuesday.

?Although we have already seen a record-setting seven tropical storms during June and July, much of the season?s activity is still to come,? Gerry Bell, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration meteorologist, told reporters......NOAA officials said they could not predict how many of the storms would hit the U.S. coast. The season typically peaks in August.

However, Joe Bastardi, a meteorologist with private forecasting company AccuWeather, predicted most of the remaining storms this year will take a more easterly path than the June and July storms that entered the Gulf of Mexico.

?The most action will be from Aug. 15 to Oct. 15 along the Eastern Seaboard. I?m targeting the Carolinas for the worst,? Bastardi said. ?Also, there will be (landfalls) in New England and the Florida coast.?

I thought Kurt said that statistically, we should have no more hurricanes for 30 years. I'm voting for the 30-year hurricane-free period, with mild tropical storms to replenish the beaches after that.

Don't worry about the damage hurricanes cause...we cannot control them! Do worry about what man is doing to the beaches...that can be controlled! I must admit it has been nice not watching The Weather Channel!

I thought those weather heads were stating that we were just beginning to enter into 30 years of hurricanes? I really don't give it all much attention, but I think everyone is a little Hurricane crazy. Just relax and take it as it comes. Stress will take years off of your life.
By the way, there is a big storm brewing south of Bermuda, which could become T.S. Gert.

If so, who would this little rascal become, and tell me about Gert and Franklin? I guess I have been in the woods too long.
