Hurricane Dean Live Thread [Now Cat 4]
NOAA/NWS ^ | August 16 2007 | NOAA/NWS

Posted on 08/16/2007 4:43:17 AM PDT by NautiNurse

Hurricane warnings have been issued for Dominica and St. Lucia as Hurricane Dean races westward into the Caribbean Sea at 24mph. This motion should bring the center of Dean near the Lesser Antilles on Friday. The increased forward speed of the storm has lessened preparation time for Caribbean Islands in its path. Hurricane Dean has favorable conditions to develop into a major hurricane over the next several days.

Usually, the storms don’t increase much in strength when they are moving so quickly.

I didn’t see where he had retired from running the hurricane machine. If anything, it may be his full time position now.

Light Sweet Crude is under $70/bbl, so investors will get a break when oil goes over $80.bbl with the fear from the drive-by media.

Thank NN.

We added a portable wall AC to our hurricane supplies this year. We can run it off the generator if the power goes out and at least have one room that will be comfortable if we’re without power.

Onyx,

This Dean character looks like it might pass over Cayman...is your daughter still on the island?

Thanks for the ping, NN; we’ll be watching ol’ Dean closely!

Is it too early to start eating the chocolate?

Can I ask the hurricane pingers for prayers for my dh’s family today, my mother-in-law died at 3:05 a.m. this morning.

Thanks, and God bless.
