Only if they include ANGELS on FLYING STEEDS with FLAMING NOSTRILS, I think.
And I don't recommend doing drugs near landfalling tropical cyclones.

Just my opinion.

With these storms getting more and more frequent and with
greater intensity- this scenario with massive Greek named hurricanes
doesn't surprise me- Well Alpha doesn't, but if some year in the
future we went all the way to Omega that would be pretty
wild----> However I do not think we will see an Omega anytime
soon... :wink:

Yea.....and Dr Gray's forecast for the 2012 Hurricane Season:

61 Tropical Storms
52 Hurricanes
29 Major Hurricanes

Stay tuned for the mid season update.

You need 22 storms to get to Alpha, not 61.

There is a sci-fi novel named The Weathermakers by Ben Bova where a massive hurricane named just that, Omega, is forecast to deliver a knockout punch to the Chesapeake Bay region. Look for it in a used book store, it was published in the 1960s. A somewhat decent read, a bit fanciful though (as it deals with large scale weather modification.)

What's interesting is- that last May the general opinion (including me)
was never expecting 4 Strong Cat 4/Cat 5 (Katrina and Rita included)
storms to form this season. And this season is far from over.
There is no El Nino to put the tropics out of business, at least not
this year.

I would not be surprised at all to see an Alpha either this year or
an upcoming year in this active cycle--- I would also not
be surprised if some storm name with a Greek name were to
be retired either this year or during an upcoming year in this
active cycle.
For several reasons
1. Increased SSTs overall
2. Increased proliferation of atmospheric constituents
becoming present with great frequency and
characterized by high levels of Gibbs free energy along
with high enthalpy potential.

I expected 2 major US Landfalls....one (I GUESSED EMILY) in Pt. Arthur, TX as a Cat 4 in August...and one in September (GERT) that hit Hallandale Beach, FL at Cat 4...then Morgan City, LA as a Cat 4.

I was wrong with the names...although Emily got close to Texas....IN JULY!

I was right with a major in the Pt. Arthur area...and one in the Eastern LA area. One thing I also expected was a late season major hurricane (CAT 4) in the Caribbean (NATE) in November.

Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.


There is no reference to hurricanes in this section of Revelation(you could make a case for severe storms of sorts in other parts of the book).

Anyhow- it is God who says "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beggining and end"

Nice try though.

I apologize with my hasty generalization that no one thought of 4
cat 4+'s---> I have edited my above post to refer to a general opinion
as opposed to asserting that "no one" predicted it :wink:

By the way, your predictions here as well as your videos are
excellent :wink:
