Tens of millions of Americans woke up on the US East Coast Thursday to the aftermath of destruction left behind by remnants of Hurricane Ida. Now meteorologists are turning their attention to a hurricane in the Atlantic Basin that could be upgraded to a major hurricane (Category 3 or stronger) by this weekend.
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), hurricane larry is packing 80 mph winds and strengthening as it travels west at 17 mph. The eye of the storm is about 660 miles west of the southernmost Cabo Verde Islands.
NHC’s cone of uncertainty is tracking near Bermuda early next week. It’s still too early for the weather agency to project any further than next Tuesday, and landfall impacts are unknown at the moment. But as we move into the weekend, computer models will have a better idea of where the storm is headed next.
If the storm tracks towards the East Coast and or the Northeast, it would be absolutely devastating for some areas that were terrorized by remnants of Hurricane Ida on Wednesday night.
Statistically speaking, we should remind readers that the most active part of the Atlantic hurricane season is already underway, as the tropics are awakening. The peak of the season is Sept. 15.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasters recently bumped up their forecast to 21 named storms this season.
I enjoy the hundred year flood maps after storms like the one that just hit the Northeast.
Time to trash the maps and start again...
Global Warming, and Trump’s Fault.
Thats funny and the ZULU Bros are the go to weather authority,give me a break
They have had a couple of these “five hundred year floods” in the past couple of decades.
Time to trash the flood maps and start over...
Nah, I’m just going to relax and binge-watch something. My hurricane days are over.
Among the hoity-toity country club crowd it’s Hurricane Lawrence.
Shhhh! You are ruining a good fear mongering article.
No, no, nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I just read somewhere that now 22 are dead.”
Never fear, they’ll still for the democrat in the next 47 elections. So, it’s like they are sort of still here.
Really, who ever heard of a himicane?
It’s a race between hurricanes and Covid variants as to which will reach the end of the alphabet first.
Larry on the East Coast and Larry on the West Coast...
Sandy was a once in a century storm so we have to wait about 90 yes for the next. Ida was no Sandy.

"I'm sick of your s___, Larry!"
And you wonder why you don't have any friends.
Click on the probability cone posted with this article and you'll see that it's from the National Hurricane Center.
When we lived in GITMO, we got clobbered by hurricanes every October. One hurricane hit us three times: it kept circling back for more. Of course, we had nowhere to evacuate to.
Not enough to change election results.
