There was a crooked man ...

And then of course, we could say There was a crooked storm ... when talking about TS Fay. It looks like TS Hanna is going to be somewhat like that.

A 90 degree turn in the cone!

Oh Dear!!!

Hurricane Gustav and TD 8

This picture scares me!

Hurricane Gustav in the gulf and TD 8 (if named, will be Hanna) in the Atlantic, affecting the US at the same time.

Hurricane Gustav Update

Hurricane Gustav is a Category 1 hurricane with wind speeds sustained at 90 mph. While the East Coast of South Florida (SoFL) is currently out of the cone, the eastern edge of the cone scrapes the western SoFL coastline and the lower Keys, including Marathon and Key West, are well inside.

Once inside the Gulf of Mexico, I guess it is, for now, a mystery. I personally have a bad feeling about this storm!

The NHC is also keeping a watchful eye on three other storms; one has low (less than 20%) chance of forming a Tropical Depression (TD); the other two have a medium (20-50%) chance of forming a TD.

Yep.. it is Hurricane Season

As we enter the historically observed height of the Hurricane Season, we are now watching Tropical Depression (TD) #7.
