Too far north to effect me. Looks like the East Coast will get get the storms this year.

Damn you Karl Rove! Damn you to hell for this weather manipulation!

We had a huge severe thunderstorm here in Sarasota about three hours ago ... flooded my backyard. Must've been at least 5 inches.

The Cayman's had an earthquake last week. I thought "oh-oh."

[Shimmer128]

Pretty far north, isn't it?

[Yorlik803]

well there goes the gas prices.............

[Miztiki]

I can't believe we haven't had any hurricanes yet this season. That's good though!

[MikefromOhio]

You are looking at the same thing I am then judging by that picture :)

I think that Sub/Extra-tropical low up by NOva Scotia formed a day too late to get serious consideration.

It certainly looked better organized at times than Alberto did, especially this afternoon.

A good excuse for gas prices to hit $4.00 a gallon?

[encm(ss)]

No oil and gas rigs in the North Atlantic. No wind machines in Martha's vineyard.

[SouthTexas]

Looks like we're good on this one.

Not necessarily. The hurricanes passing over the water tend to stir it up and bring cooler water into the area. The cooler the water temp, the less hurricane fuel. If the water sits and warms, it will be more to feed the hurricane.
