Hanna has friends

Gustva's still with us and still an issue, but sound's like it could have been much worse.

Now we have Hanna and her friends lining up out in the Atlantic and Caribbean.



Looks like it going to be an active year for storms.

That's Tropical Storm Ike coming along behind her (does anyone else get a kick out of these names?), but the two yellows haven't and might not develop into anything of note--let's hope that they don't.

However, the red circle over the Cape Verde islands is worrisome; lesser depressions have turned into much larger storms so far this season. Storms that develop over the Cape Verde islands have a lot of time over the Atlantic to pick up strength and can pack quite a wallop by the time they reach the Caribbean.

It certainly is looking like an active year for storms, but we'll see how that bears out.

Their now saying that red circle will likely be "Josephine" in the next day or so. And yes, that Cape Verde island area is exactly where Hanna started, I think.

noodle, it looks like you'd better be stocking up on water, candles, and of course, booze. I just hope you have more sense than to get the vienna sausages.

Definitely looks like it'll be quite the active month ahead. With this, the general election kicking up, and football season, there will be no shortage of things to talk about...

Man it looks like the rain from Hanna could really cause some issues for the whole east coast.



Doesn't look like it going to even make it past a Cat 2 and once it hits land I doubt it will remain a Cat 1 for long. So I think the wind situation will be the lesser issue, it's the rain these things bring that are seemingly endless.

We've suffered some major beach erosion here in Central Florida. These next two may destroy the little that's left.

This was taken here on Monday.

I've got to ask... don't these storms ever make you consider moving out of the area permanently? I think I would go nuts if I had that many storms coming at me annually...

No. Hurricanes are natural and needed where I live, coastal area with strong protections over development. If we didn't have them, the area's wildlife would suffer immeasureably.

I've been through Hugo, Floyd, Dennis, Isabel, and numerous TS's. They aren't really all that bad. Katrina was a fluke. NO was a city ruled by old time politics where levees are built with the right amount of "soap", with the tacit approval of FEMA. We, as a country, learned mighty fast that that's no way to run a city.

On most of the east coast, the land has been shaped to take on hurricanes and quickly relieve afterwards. It's the parts where rampant development has been allowed that suffer.

Some may find it odd to hear that many native coasties actually hope for a hurricane landfall. But they are needed to maintain the natural flow of our habitat.

Wow... that came out of nowhere, but Hurricane Ike grew from a Category 1 to an impressive Category 4 in about six hours. That's pretty insane, and goes to show you just how unpredictable tropical weather is. I'm not trying to undermine the models and predictive qualities of professional meteorologists, because they do a pretty damn good job, it just hopefully goes to show you how beautifully complex nature is, and hopefully a sense of awe and wonder at natural phenomena.

ok, i'll get off my soapbox. hopefully Ike won't cause too much damage and just be a pretty storm to look at...

I think Ike started out closer to the Cape Verde Island then the other storms we've seen so far this year. From what I've seen these storms that form over there have a history of becoming freaking monsters. Ike started roughly 1K miles west of the Verde's , Josephine started even closer to them. Right now the 5 day track shows Josephine remaining a TS and not a hurricane for the next 5 days.



I'm not sure what all goes into the forecasts on these systems, but I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes a major storm once she enter the warm water currently being occupied by Ike.

The minute Gustva begin to hook north folks here in the Yucatan began talking about Hanna and then the TS that became Ike.
