Here we go...

[Viking2002]

I was just thinking the same thing when I checked the NHC's advisory page this morning: here we go. And just two days ago they wrote off Ana as a dissipated remnant. Now TD2 is following like a puppy and forecast to become a Cat 1 off Puerto Rico about the time Ana is somewhere off the Florida coast. It'll be (as Arte Johnson would say) verrrry interesting here in Alabama next weekend.

Here in Punta Gorda today, we are celebrating our recovery from Charley's devastation 5 years ago. Jeb is here- just as he was so often while we were torn apart. We have come back better than ever- but I'm not sure we are ready for another one- much less 2!

Thanks. We sure could use a rainmaker down here . I better be careful what I wish for though, I guess. Dolly did me no damage but I’ll never forgive that tropical storm the year before that killed my almond tree:’)

[miele man]

Gosh, we can’t keep meeting like this. LOL

Thank you for once again serving as sentinel and harbinger of things to come. You do us all an invaluable service.

[Grammy]

Thanks for the heads up. Since we often end up opening shelters here for the Red Cross, I always try to keep aware of what’s happening..... especially since I am just a worker bee, and don’t get much forewarning from the RC offices.

By the looks of things you will be busy here through Labor Day at least. Killer Bill has my name on it, literally.

[NautiNurse]

Tropical Storm Bill has formed west of TS Ana.

Early season thanks!

Greetings, NautiNurse and the rest of the storm watchers. Ichabod1, Veteran of Hurricane Ike, reporting for duty from Houston, TX.

That’s great, just when I have to move to South Florida because my law school moved down there from Michigan, a tropical storm might hit.

[Old Professer]

Dry air, wind shear and water temperature conditions are far from ideal for strong or persistent development for all three storms at this point, TD3 has a huge clud mass but a bifurcated center currently; the nearest tropical wave brought heavy rains to the Dominican Republic yesterday and could add to Florida’s generous total for this year but I wouldn’t batten down just yet.

At best, this is a relief from the boredom at the hurricane center.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Thanks for the ping... been wondering when this season was going to get started.

I always worry for Texas when they have a bad drought. Nature has a way of bringing things back to the average.. what better way than a tropical system with 10-20” of rain!

Tropical Storm - Damage Potential: Minimal

Whoever wrote that wasn’t in Houston for Tropical Storm Allison.

Thanks NautiNurse! Prayers they will both disappear before they reach land.

[Nachoman]

We have to stop meeting like this, NautiNurse. I couldn’t imagine a hurricane season without your threads. ;^)

[cajungirl]

Thanking you in advance Nauti,,what would we do without you!! Last year Gustav came after my surgery and I remember doped up on Dilaudid monitoring the thread.

[Capt_Hank]

And we are blessed with the likes of Al Roker for a weather report in the morning. NBC has destroyed the station.

[AlaninSA]

Please, please, please let it hit the Texas coast as a weak tropical storm...

...we really, really need the rain.
