Fingers crossed, but usually when there's a more powerful storm ahead of it, it sort of burns out the storm that follows it.

Strictly from an energy stand point doesn't the first one tend to suck all the power out of the area?

Global Warming is rewriting many of the "rules" we thought we knew.

Looks like Irma is gonna kill a lot of people and destroy a lot of property before it even reaches Florida. The Irma tracks they're showing now seem to suggest we ought to evacuate Florlida.

Well I saw one track just on the gulf side and one just on the Atlantic. Yikes.

That's a pretty hard turn North.

Or are you still working on Irma?

Where does "the team" want this one to go?

I've had some bad times with hurricanes. Made me a little prickly on the subject.

Henceforth, I will give it up. Just worrisome as I lived in the Keys so many years, and even now talking to my friends there.

Hope no hard feelings.

Right now it is the peak of hurricane season- I'd expect to see a few more form before it's all said and done.
