Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81837019 Right now it’s monkey pox, high gas prices and starvation season. No development expected on the 'radar' for the next 5 days. 13 days, including today, to June 1st (opening day for 2022 hurricane season). That said, not only is the Gulf Loop already in August form - western Africa is pushing out it's first trans-Atlantic dust storm. Things are hot and dry there also. https://twitter.com/_/status/1527643771122352128 I was of the impression the dust storms did not portent for big storms. The opposite in fact. That's correct. They can hinder developed/developing tropical storms and the early 'dust storm' activity in western Africa could also be a omen for an active season, which has already predicted by NOAA. The last two Atlantic hurricane seasons saw considerable Saharan dust - how much worse may they have been without it? Last Edited by Humanitarianlike on 05/20/2022 01:25 PM |

Humanitarianlike (OP) User ID: 78689367 United States 05/20/2022 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I Live in Florida so Hurricane season never fully leaves the mind. I just got a new roof this year due to storms. Quoting: Starbird I dreamt, recently that we had a storm so bad it created an entirely new category. I dreamt it hit the Florida East coast as a 5, traveled across the state became a 5 again in the Gulf; and hit Texas or NOLA, traveled inland and back out around South Carolina and circled back to hit Florida's East Coast again. Talk about a nightmare. This thread reminds me its time to get prepped. IMO categories will be expanded in the not-too-distant future. |

Said they flooded out, whereas after many decades of being raised there, that had never happened before. And Gulf coasters are a bit worried this season. And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.' ...David Bohm “How, O Zenobia, hast thou dared to insult Roman emperors?” ...Aurelian, 44th Emperor of the Roman Empire |

I lived in south Florida when our military was streaming down the coast under the Kennedy administration, but we moved not long afterwards. I returned for vacation in late 1994, right after Hurricane Gordon couldn't make up his mind where he wanted to go - 2 FL landfalls and nearly a 3rd (if we count the Keys). [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] It could be decades yet but we are already THIS year seeing a significant uptick in windy-related natural disasters - derechos and fires. New Mexico has seen 30 red flag days since April 1st. (as of May 13th).

Was waiting for someone to mention La. Thank you commenter! Seriously, New Orleans is BELOW sea level. Every day, no, every HOUR is a gamble living there. I’d be having a permanent coronary. Also, the theme of Katrina was “Govt doesnt care about Black People”...(thanks Kanye!) This is so the current narrative right now and there will be *something* that happens anytime now to repeat it.... Hurricane’s be racist y’all! |

abrock User ID: 80966518 United States 05/20/2022 04:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have friends in Grand Isle where Ida came ashore on August 29. They did not get electricity back until mid-January. We live a couple of hours north of GI and during the storm, I could feel our slab vibrating. Our house is 4200 sq ft so can you imagine the strength of winds it took to make that happen? A house a few blocks away shifted on the slab. Looked okay from the exterior but the homeowner, a friend of ours, said her house felt different after Ida. She had it inspected and that is when the shift was found. It had to be torn down. |

Quoting: Humanitarianlike May 13th 2005 https://imgur.com/dCbMnWG . May 13th 2022 https://imgur.com/S5VdQP8 . May is picking up right where August 2021 left off. Hurricane Ida in August, the same dates as Katrina. What carnage these two wrought. https://imgur.com/7TeagjJ . "The Atlantic hurricane season starts on June 1, and the Gulf of Mexico is already warmer than average. Even more worrying is a current of warm tropical water that is looping unusually far into the Gulf for this time of year, with the power to turn tropical storms into monster hurricanes. It’s called the Loop Current, and it’s the 800-pound gorilla of Gulf hurricane risks. I have been monitoring ocean heat content for more than 30 years as a marine scientist. The conditions I’m seeing in the Gulf in May 2022 are cause for concern. One prominent forecast anticipates 19 tropical storms – 32% more than average – and nine hurricanes. The Loop Current has the potential to supercharge some of those storms." [link to www.msn.com (secure)] https://imgur.com/S7CbTYA |

Quoting: Marvelous Man Indeed. Something like a 55 to 60% chance for la Nina this summer, last time I checked. |
