storms rolling off of Africa (tropics heating up)

[GatorBoy]

The Intertropical Convergence Zone looks like it will be heating up in the near future.. A lot of moist air seems like it will be pushing away the Saharan dust layer also

I feel bad for Bermuda.

I figure I'm going to start putting some donations aside now I imagine that will become necessary

I feel bad also. They seem to go through this rodeo alot. I cant believe we arent farther on the alphabet by now. All the storms that have formed all stay on the same path. Definitely not normal sseason. But whats normal, only been recording these canes for a hundred plus years. I wonder how strong they really can get. 4 billion years of history and 100 recorded. Uhoh

You're not a Floridian. You live on the left coast.

A friendly piece of advice: During your visits here, keep your anti-Floridian comments to yourself, or you might become alligator bait. Not all Floridians are as tolerant as I am.

Oh, and thank you for your service.

Those of us with the experience and intelligence to hope for continued good weather have you vastly outnumbered.

......and you are welcome.

You do realized thread is almost a year old, this is last years weather...

LOL, Yeah, but the twisted detached demeanors and insipid dispositions are still very current.

I have been in and affected by many hurricanes in by life, at least 6 or 7 direct hits, several very near misses, and 3 typhoons. I am fully aware of what they can do......

OK, now it's time to start posting pictures of the weather girls.....

Too bad this was never followed up on

Hurricane David was joke. Hurricane Andrew was a MONSTER!

No you don't. You have no Idea at all.
You or your threatening friends have never experienced true devastation. You just don't know any better.

Ten years ago, Hurricane Katrina topped the list of the worst storms to ever hit the US when it triggered a 28-foot-tall storm surge that swept over New Orleans.
But even with all that destruction, Katrina is not the worst storm that could have hit the US.
In a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, researchers simulated thousands of hurricanes that could hit sometime in the next century.
The results reveal that future storms could devastate places previously believed to be at low risk for hurricanes, and the destruction from some of these hurricanes would be unlike anything we've ever seen, the researchers say.
Risk managers call completely unpredictable and devastating storms "black swans," but in this paper, the researchers are describing devastating storms that are actually predictable, and they've ominously named them "gray swans."
And if a gray swan hits, the destruction will be unlike anything we've ever experienced in all of human history.
The hurricanes themselves aren't the biggest concern — the tidal wave of water that the high-speed winds whip up is the real threat. That water is called storm surge, and if the waves are high enough, they can submerge cities.
One of the places most as risk for a gray swan is Tampa, Florida, which hasn't experienced a major hurricane since 1921. That Category 2 storm caused an 11-foot storm surge.
The study revealed that if a strong Category 3 hurricane hit Tampa today, the storm surge could rise as high as 19 feet. That's a problem because Tampa is at an extremely low elevation and surrounded by shallow water perfect for churning up powerful waves. A 19-foot surge would put much of the area underwater.
Even worse: As sea levels rise, this storm surge could get even bigger. If a hurricane hits later this century, the storm surge could reach 37 feet high.

Don't tell me I don't know, I'm not a kid, I was born and raised in Florida, I have been through many hurricanes.

" researchers simulated thousands of hurricanes that could hit sometime in the next century."

Ha....that's a good one. Who are these psychics?

As if they actually know what's going to happen at any given time like things don't change.
They predicted Erika was going to hit Fort Lauderdale area but then.. No wait! Maybe the gulf, or maybe out to sea in the Atlantic.
Computer models were anywhere from mid gulf coast, direct hits to the Bahamas and south Florida and at one point models showed west towards Louisiana area to anywhere headed up just off the east coast.

If these people were Snipers they'd be miles off.
They're trying to predict a bullets destination firing across a multiple wind direction open sea

There are so many variables affecting the weather so they have like 100 different scales each showing a new path. I guess they can only really know about 3 hours before hand where its going to go and that can change by a few hundred miles. Last July 4th the eye of a Cat 1 came about 25 miles away from my house and it was supposed to be like 200 miles out at sea. Having said that I am glad they warn us. I evacuate at a Cat 2 and most here wont budge until its a 3.

It is nature, storms guided by weather patterns, it is not an exact science, many times they are accurate, sometimes not so much.

I never start to be concerned till they are within 500-600 miles of my home. Of course I already maintain a supply of food, water, meds and ammo for "zombie" defense anyway....
