I don't know noth'in bout birthen no hurricane

The sixth tropical depression just rolled of the African coast headed on a same track as Charley and Bonnie. (behind is anoter storm that appears to break up when it hits the Atlantic). Anyone taking bets? Will this become a hurricane and will it follow the same track into the Carribean Sea?

Daniell made a right turn at about this same spot and self destructed. Maybe that is why it is better to name then after girls?

I'd need to see a few more maps...corresponding temperature maps, infared maps to show high and low pressure centers...before I made any bets. would wsi.com have those too? (I'm guessing that's where you got the image, seeing it's at the top there...)

The eastern Pacific also had three potential hurricanes rolling about. One just turned away from Hawaii. A quick view suggests China may be due for another significant Typhoon:

Go ahead, start your global warming rant.

We have a winner - maybe. The rainstorm from Africa last week grew into a Category 4 hurricane called Frances. It is predicted to strike SC sometime around Saturday - in about four days. However the predictions have been pushing it northward having originally been predicted to hit Cape Canaveral. And so we wonder if The Cellar may again be threatened by another environmental catastrophy:

One of those little pud storm systems on the earlier map grew into T.S. Gaston, whose remains have, as you've probably heard by now, inundated part of the sotuheast, in NC and VA. Richmond VA got it especially bad, I-95 and I-64, the two main highway arteries through Richmond both closed by floodwater, along with the whole downtown area (Shockoe Bottom for those who know) under water in depths ranging from 2 to 8 to 12 feet. It's a total mess. And NOW we have about a week before Frances gets here. This is going to be an interesting Labor Day weekend. My parents made it through just fine though, so that's cool.

Can someone do a "delay the rain until Sunday or Monday" dance? I"m moving this weekend, and Frances is the last visitor I need.

Every season should end with a thriller. After all that summer sinning, god must reek his vengence. It's a story line as old as the bible.

Kitsune can do a Hurricane Safety Dance--will that do?

Oh, so Kitsune hasn't mentioned the fact that he once really honked off the lightning spirits, and was a storm *attractor*?

No offense, but I'd rather have someone else do the storm deflection dance.

Strangely, no--Kitsune never mentioned that
In light of this new information, I withdraw my vote for Kitsune.

Well, it can end with a thriller, just as long as it starts once my electronics are safely in my new house

I made my peace with the electrical storms sometime ago! And my new hurricane dance, complete with rum, has done wonders so far.

In light of this new information, I withdraw my vote for Kitsune.

Yeah? Thats find by me. Of course, I wouldn't hold harsh feelings against me if I were you -- my friend that lives on the East coast of Florida is about to find out what happens when you don't pay me back in a timely manner.
