Lesson to Be Learned, Season Cancel? Nope Its Just Beginning

#1 Postby **gatorcane** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 9:30 pm

To only those members who doubted this season:

We are seeing how quickly the tropics can change. Since June and July were so quiet, SOME (not all) of us were implying that this season was not going to be much of a problem and it still may not be.

Let us all remind ourselves that Aug-Oct are the worst months. The fact that we have an invest in the Cape Verde wave train this early is actually a bad sign - since the Cape Verde season typically doesn't crank up until mid August.

Be safe all but let this be a lesson learned for those that were doubting the Atlantic Basin.

THE TROPICS CAN CHANGE VERY QUICKLY

Not sure who you are addressing this too...

Along with the bulk of other threads with this same theme, the majority of experinced members here would have told you this in their sleep....

Close to 70 to 80% of the activity will occur in the nest 2 months but thats a given every hurricane season except for last year.

I am worried about a 2004-like Cape Verde repeat, maybe not for Florida, but for someone else

No more Frances like systems moving at 4mph.

Ouch...
Imagine last years Wilma making the same track across Florida, but this time at a Frances of 2004 pace... most likely there would still be a sea of blue tarps and few pockets of people without power.. not a good scenario.

Actually I thought Frances took like a 5 hour nap before even taking baby steps at one point.

No one is saying season dead, they are saying a more typical season compared to 05

actually there were quite a few people who purported that - you just have to go back a few pages in the forum and you will see...

of course many of us didn't though.

There is no reason to name names...the people who did this know who they are.

What the heck is this "season cancel/cancel season" business quoted so much on this board, just because a few of us comment that it's fairly slow so far?

The season is as normal - for a statistically normal season - but, I'd never say "Cancel the season!" - what a silly statement, as if giving a command to the One who creates the weather.

Compared to last year - it is slow - and, hopefully, since the season is behaving in a traditional way, we'll only see activity in the normally active mid-August through mid-late-September period, but, nothing more...

Cancel the season - golly...

Frank

P.S. To those of you who want a busy season - hopefully you'll think of your wishful thinking comments, when we are all on line for gas that costs $10 a gallon, and, will remember the old saying "Be careful what you wish for"...
