That new one will be named Lee, whatever becomes of it

Ask yourself this Question , How does the Evaporation of Water Vapor into the Atmosphere effect Global Weather , and is it now Technologically Possible to Artificially Control and Change Weather Patterns by Manipulating it ?

The Answer to that Question , if you Look Hard Enough , will Surprise you .

Jose, it isn't so!



Hurricane Jose could loop around and take another aim at Florida.

In about 4 hours Naples is in for a big problem. What would have been nice would have been for Irma to slam into the Everglades, the marshlands acts as a decent buffer, but regretfully it doesn't look that way.

That's impossible though. Can't park a 300mile wide storm in an 80mile wide swamp. Even if the eye centerlined the everglades mouth at the Florida bay, the storm was always going to cover the entire state.

In fact, I think if the eye came into the everglades it had more potential to pick up more warm water since the 'glades is only a few feet deep and heated daily by the sun.

This storm was always going to be bad for all of S.FL. We evac'd to Savannah. Our first plan was Tampa, but that quickly became the less ideal option.

The eye is due to Marco Island: Live Feed

The long long range models last night showed Jose eventually hitting around Norfolk, VA. on Sept 19th. It won't make landfall at that location, but it's looking more likely that somewhere on the East Coast will impacted.

Thanks for that live feed. Everything is still standing and the streets are clear enough for Jeff to drive freely. Not too bad.

The stormsurge, not the eye. If the brunt of the stormsurge was distributed in the Everglades, then the rest of Irma would have had time to weaken while tracking over land. In this case, the more time this thing could have spent over land, the better off everyone is. Just not working out that way.

The upside is that the atmospheric conditions are becoming unfavorable, warm water or not so they're fighting against each other.

Live from Naples

Florida last hurricane to hit the Naples area was 57 years ago.

Since then the population and developing of the coast of Florida have grown incredible.

I am in southern GA and ready for Irma since it will come my way no as a category 4 or 3 but still with enough power to cause damage.

My son just moved to Tampa 3 weeks ago and had to leave, my daughter is in Panama city and so far is ok.

My family in PR avoided the eye but still got enough wins in the north east to feel the power of Irma.

I hope people in Florida listened to those that knows weather and move to safer grounds.

Stay safe people.

Storm surge is like a mini-tsunami isn't it?
