Thankfully with as busy as this years season has been, we on the SOuth Carolina coast have faired well. However we have had a fair bit of wind damage. I am posting a shot of one of te odder ones. Wind and water together can get into odd spots.

Here is a prime example.

Must have been a hell of a storm to not only get water inside a lightbulb, but also wash in a turtle, too! Damn!

Mathews would be the 13th east coast hurricane. I believe there were 11 in the eastern Pacific. But in the western Pacific, this storm currently hitting Japan is the 24th typhoon this season - according to Radio Japan last night.

There's more in that bulb than water. Looks like the turtle raped it.

I have it on good information that the turtle and the light bulb are just good friends.

What's the turtles name, Kobe? Mike?

The National Weather Service has issued a warning for yet another
catastrophic hurricane following on the heels of Ivan and Jeanne. The
path of this hurricane zigs and zags, and is therefore highly
unpredictable. At times its winds spin counter-clockwise, then it
abruptly reverses direction. Experts predict that this one will cause
the most damage to the United States that we have experienced in four
years. They are naming this one Hurricane Kerry. Be advised, the only
way for citizens to protect themselves is by hiding behind a Bush.

Japan typically suffers 2.6 typhoons per year. The record was 6 in one season. Typhoon Tokage is the tenth typhoon with winds exceeding 220 KPH (about 140 MPH) and killing almost 80 people. It struck Japan in the south east coast and weakened just as it hit Tokyo. However the eleventh typhoon, Typhoon Nock-ten is on the same track, approaching the Philippines and promises to be just as strong.

One of the factors predicted by global warming models are typhoons and hurricanes that become more powerful. This year's unusual high number of storms corresponds to higher than normal ocean temperatures. Storms that normally would not amount to much instead become destructive storms. Historical data suggests this trend should continue.

I liked this thread title, so decided to put this tidbit here.

The Gulf of Mexico has now gone three years since having a hurricane. It's broken all records and is the longest span without a hurricane in history.
