Just breaking : Javier turned cat. 5.
This marks the era of the global super storm.
Puzzle with two pieces, worldwide first reported in freerepublic ...

[Oblongata]

I wouldn't want to be Mexico right now.

[bt_dooftlook]

Um, not likely; aren't the prevailing winds carrying Javier away from Mexico?

[carl in alaska]

Is that Javier in the Pacific? If so, it's not all bad. They might get some badly needed rain in western United States. I think it's now a 7-year drought in the western Rockies.

[Oblongata]

Yeah, I know they wont hit Mexico in any likelyhood. It just looks ominous.

[Prime Choice]

Huh. All this talk about Global Warming and we wind up getting Global Drenching.

AFP reports that Javier is headed toward Acapulco.

[cabojoe]

Javier is not headed towards Acapulco...It's headed northwest. A few days ago it's track was estimated to be towards Puerto Vallarta, then yesterday they had the track heading towards Cabo San Lucas, and now its track is estimated to be way west of Cabo.

[ProudVet77]

I wouldn't want to be in New Orleans. From a buoy 64 nm South of Dauphin Island, AL - Winds from the east at 20 kts. With Ivan in it's current position there is a huge fetch for a storm surge to build up. I'd expect minor coast flooding in the Louisiana/Mississippi Coastal Region at any time.
Better pray the storm turns east soon so the wind reverses direction there.

[HAL9000]

I hope it misses Cabo. My dad flew there yesterday.

I'm glad Ivan slowed down. Some earlier forecasts had predicted it would move over Atlanta today - and my wife's 21-hour flight is scheduled to land in Atlanta in a few hours.

[SauronOfMordor]

Javier's latest track is heading back out to sea. If it just skirts the coast, it will deliver needed rain

[cabojoe]

Does your dad do the billfish thing? Nice to meet you.

HURRICANES - unprecedented

Japan and S. Korea Ground Flights as Typhoon Songda (7th, unprecedented) Approaches
Hurricane Alex turns unprecedented (strongest Category 3 Hurricane north from 38° N) - and other records Alex set

Global super storms are caused by solar cycles and space weather. Our small planet exists in an environment filled with 1ncredible magnetic, other-worldly and largely unknown forces. Click Here and then Go Here scroll down. What we do not know would fill all the world's libraries then again.

Which country? Mexico?

[ovrtaxt]

It won't hit Mexico. Hurricanes always travel west, then loop upward and northeast later.

[Cheetah1]

BS Alert...

This thread is full of it

UNPRECEDENTED - country threatened by TWO cat. 5 hurricanes

"Inconceivable!"

[Pikachu_Dad]

"I wouldn't want to be in New Orleans."

Me neither... Hey, where am I... uh oh... Time to move.
