Welcome LaunchGal to Storm2K! Where exactly are you reporting from?

Thanks Jeremy, I'm in Merritt Island (couldn't find the profile update until after I posted).

I'm a s2k veteran from the 2004 atl season (but forgot my login info). Used to be in the Orlando area (crossroads of the Hunkerdown Tour).

Waiting for this cell to pass. Kids are under lockdown at school.

[Bunkertor]

After a look at the radar MTD-upgrade for eastern MS and the gulf coast imo appropriate.

The storms in Florida are moving north, and the storms in Missouri are in general moving east. What will be the effect when they meet? Will they move NE? Will this interaction weaken the storms, keep them roughly the same or increase their strength?

It´s Mississippi

Wbug is from Europe. Now, the Germans, and usually the British, have a fine understanding of US geography.


But, not to make him feel too badly, while I can identify all of the component UK countries on a map, and pick out the bigger ones in Europe, like France, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and Italy, of course, and by proximity to Italy I can get Albania, Serbia/Kosovo, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Greece and Turkey, and Norway, because it is on the Western side of Scandinavia, I tend to confuse Denmark, Sweden and Finland, and have grief telling Estonia from Lithuania.

[Ed Mahmoud]

And I know Lichtenstein is in there somewhere, Monaco is attached to France, and San Marino to Italy, but don't ask me to find them on a map.



Geography is not a strong suit of us United States citizens.

You'd be surprised how few know where the Pacific Ocean is.
