Oh the globull warming crowd is drooling now.

[Elle Bee]

Lots of fish storms this year and that's just fine with me

I;ve always believed that if we make September 8th its all downhill

.. and then again there was 2005 LOL

.

[NautiNurse]

Surely hope this one remains a fish. It’s going to be a lot closer to the U.S. than Danielle.

[brytlea]

Yeah, 2005. That was our first year in S. FL!

Thanks for the ping.

I really do miss Dr. Steve Lyons doing the Tropical Forecast. NBC Universal went out of their way to screw up a good format. Have you noticed the technical data associated with a storm is now few and far? Adding the worthless Al Roker was the final nail in the coffin.

[balch3]

Fiona is the one to watch.

[who knows what evil?]

Adding the worthless Al Roker was the final nail in the coffin.

Amen...I don't even waste time with the Weather Channel any more...too many superior outlets on the net.

[tutstar]

which ones r your faves?

[NautiNurse]

Steve Lyons was a tremendous asset.

I could never take Al Roker seriously after he had a colonoscopy on television.

[NautiNurse]

Earl may be the dress rehearsal for Fiona.

Hey NN...how’s it going!

So I’m looking at the map and being reminded of a few lines from Fiddler on the Roof.

Rabbi! May I ask you a question?
Rabbi: Certainly, Lebisch!
Lebisch: Is there a proper blessing... for the Tsar?
Rabbi: A blessing for the Tsar? Of course! May God bless and keep the Tsar... far away from us!

So I say: May God bles and keep those hurricanes far away from us!!!!

[Mouton]

Yeah, the Euro models are showing a direct cat 5 hit on central florida around 9.8 this AM. No confirmation yet from the others fortunately as yet.

[who knows what evil?]

I should have gone into meteorology when I was younger...I like to gather data from several resources; Intellicast, AccuWeather, Weather Underground; and then interpret the data myself. Usually prove to be more accurate with my local forecast than the guys on the news...of course; that's not saying much. Chimps with a dartboard could beat them on most days...

Forums on AccuWeather are a blast; especially during landfalling hurricanes or snowstorms. Everyone has an opinion...LOL! Great stuff...

As the time gets a little closer I suspect it may even move into the gulf. If Earl doesn’t start moving north soon that will also be worth watching. Both Earl and future Fiona expected to be major storms.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Thanks for the thread and the ping. Gotta keep an eye on this guy.

[SouthTexas]

Looks like you’re up for this round. We don’t need anything else happening in the Gulf this year.
