I'm new to posting so bear with me, what does this new numbering al992008_al162008.ren mean?
I was in Belize for Mitch which stalled off Belize for days getting HUGE, then dropped south missing us but dumping allot of rain - we were flooded for weeks. I was also here for Iris in Seine Bight which is about 3 miles North of Placencia. Bz can't take any major flooding right now as currently since TS Arthur which was more in Chetemal MX, dumped tons of rain causing flash floods in South & washed out the main bridge from South to North Belize and there is just a temp causeway, which everytime we get more than 3" rain is unpassable. So..... anyone in south is stuck if this storm really comes our way, we have south & inland south as options. So yes I'm watching this really closely because if the storm even comes in on the Punta Gorda BZ border with Guatemala its going to dump allot of rain over us in Placencia. If its now a depression, this storm if it sits of coast of BZ is going to grow water temps at 5ft are still over 85 degrees and this is all the way to the outer (barrier) reef, ther is extensive coral bleaching occuring which indicates surpface temps are well over 85 degrees.
It should be noted that at 8am central time the BZ weather department was still issuing the same alert for last night i.e. Low possibly developing in next day or 2 when the 8am on website said later to day depression and it already looked very organized to me at that time.
Off to get some supplies this morning before a watch is issued and its nigh on impossible to buy anything.
