wow now that is interesting isnt it?

<RICKY>

[Swimdude]

Whew no kidding...

[WXBUFFJIM]

Definitely very interesting

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

It almost looks strong enough to send all the storms into Central America. Sounds interesting to me.

If it holds like that, there are not going to be many fish this year!

Yeah, but if it holds in that configuration, the US mainland should be "protected" don't you think? Just my humble opinion.

[TS Zack]

Not exactly. You can see a mid-level trough across the Southeast CONUS. That would pull anything up towards the US.

I'm not against the US or hating anybody here, but I much rather see a hurricane hit the US than hitting Central America. If a major hurricane hits Central America the death toll could be in the hundreds or thousands. Hurricanes Mitch, Joan, and Fifi together have killed over 15,000 people. Four hurricanes in one year in Florida only* killed about 100 people.

*100 people is a lot, but I'm comparing 100 to 15,000.

I'm all for helping fellow man, but there is a limit to my generosity.

I agree 100%

[Derek Ortt]

Joan killed 148.

if a cane does not stall, its not going to kill thousands, except maybe in Haiti

[Rashid]

great find rainstorm, however, one of these disturbances is bound to find its way into the north atlantic...

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Hi Rashid I remember you from TWC Messageboards...
Rashid just out of curiosity which one do you think is most likely to do this?

[mike18xx]

That's actually a fairly typical August pattern.

[Hurricaneman]

I agree

Send a major hurricane up the mouth of the Mississippi to New Orleans, and you'd be eating some crow.

Send a major hurricane up the mouth of the Mississippi to New Orleans, and you'd be eating some crow.

Swamping New Orleans would make it smelly and perhaps financially impossible to justify salvaging the below-sea-level portions -- but it won't kill thousands of people.

Be that as it may, if folks in various grinding dictatorships and socialist basketcase economies don't have the wherewithall to afford concrete houses and high-speed internet -- it does not logically transpire that the more affluent and/or responsible "deserve" the disaster instead.

[Hurricaneman]

That would be the worst disaster in US history if that ever happened

[southerngreen]

Ouch! I don't wish a hurricane on anybody, and thank goodness we don't have the power to decide.
