Happy First Day of Hurricane Season

with everything else going on, just a reminder...

And there is a potential storm threatening the Gulf....

I've already determined that this is the year Connecticut will get walloped by a storm. My determination wasn't made scientifically, but based instead on how things are going so far.

Yale study on climate change impact on hurricanes

Highly trained and intelligent scientists seem conclude that hurricanes will become stronger, weaker, more frequent or less frequent.

Which is why they call them "weather predictions" rather than "weather promises".

Good reminder; packing bags and checking expiration dates.
(and giving everything a monthly charge)

I am glad we have no hurricanes in Montana! I suppose the wildfires balance it out though.

This Tropical Storm Cristobal is goingtoChicago and beyond.

We’re all prepped and I have to get on the boat as soon as it clears south Louisiana.

TS Cristobal makes landfall after 1300 tomorrow. We’ve battened our hatches and DW & DD1 are tied to the Mizzen Mast!!! Hang on cause here we go!!!

Be safe! Not much hurricane activity here in Montana but it won't be long til wildfire season.

Here in St. Louis, the storm passed to our west. Still some trailing branches rhat might give us rain later in the day, but I'm not holding my breath.

tropical depression #13 looks like it needs watching... just had a large mostly dead camphor tree removed...


#13 now TS Laura

I am in NOLA with 2 empty barges. We will button up everything tomorrow and ride out 3-4 days of rough weather.

2020 continues to be anything but boring. We have two hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time, and both are expected to make landfall within twenty-four hours of each other.

No hurricanes here in Montana but fire season is anything but boring! Thanks to smoke (mostly from the CA fires) I can barely see the mountains from my house!

Saw this and seemed appropriate:

A New Orleanian walks into a bar, says "I’ll have two hurricanes and a Corona." Bartender says that'll be $20.20.

Sounds like some coast line over there is going to be hit hard.


"Unsurvivable storm surge with large and destructive waves will cause catastrophic damage from Sea Rim State Park, Texas, to Intracoastal City, Louisiana, including Calcasieu and Sabine Lakes. This surge could penetrate up to 30 miles inland from the immediate coastline. #Laura"

We only sawgusts.up to 32kts in New Orleans.

My associates in Columbia, LA were hit hard, even though winds were down to Cat 1 by then. Power out, likely for days, trees down, roads blocked, etc.
