2AM: Atlantic Convection Deep Firing

#1 Postby Sanibel » Sat Oct 23, 2004 12:59 am

The lingering wave material in the West Atlantic basin is currently undergoing nocturnal deep firing with deep red tops.

Something has obviously flashed positive. Should dry up again tomorrow, but there are two concentrated areas that look like they could bust out a system. One is in the south Caribbean...

Probably will dry up tomorrow and people will wonder what I'm yelling about...

LOLOLOL!!! Weatherwindow you got that right!!!

Beware the blob!!!! It can bite you-both ways!!!!! It can warn us of an impending beginning of a tropical system or fool us into thinking we have a big TC blowing up only to disappear in a matter of hours.

Now where are those blobs???hehehe J/K We definitely need to keep watching these areas.

We have drier air here since a mild front turned the winds from the north. The sun is still hot though.

Last night I saw giant coals glowing over in the sanctuary so I rode my bike over and saw some workers watching a huge row of burning trees in a pile 100 yards long and 15 feet high. It's a 1/2 mile from my house with white smoke coming out of it now. That pile has been burning for 8 weeks now.

The lighthouse forest on the east end had about 1/3 of its Australian Pines blown down by Charley. They decided to cut down the rest so the lighthouse now stands out alone at the point. The pine canopy is gone.

Our Brazilian Feather Palm didn't make it. It was our best palm with a large umbrella-like crown, but Brazil doesn't have hurricanes, so it wasn't designed to handle it genetically. Charley blew the entire top off and now it is just a dead trunk. Right next to it is a local Sable Palm built genetically for hurricanes that is perfectly intact...
