Looks like we've had enough tropical systems to fill the complete alphabet now. It seems to be following a similar track to Delta (open Atlantic, well away from land).

i dont think its supposed to make landfall, since its very weak. the bad surfs could really do some damage to those surfers though

Global Warming = Katrina every year

Global Warming = Katrina every year

hurricanes arent due to global warming. thats a myth. there are periods of about 15-20 years during which they alternate between more hurricanes and less hurricanes.

 

[GenMarshall]

Ok, remind me again that the Hurricane Season is over .

 

[Perfection]

Tommorow, Officially.

 

[Ansar]

NO, tomorrow is the last day of the season.

 

[Perfection]

Somehow I thought he said when would it "end", not when it would all be over.

I think it's fair to say that God has finally decided to punish the Southern States.

With a tropical Storm in the mid atlantic?

Sure to give them heart attacks regardless.

It's gonna make landfall exactly where tropical storm Delta killed 7 people, the Canarian islands.

What happens is they run out of Greek letters ?

I know that Global Warming doesn't create more hurricanes. I didn't say that.

I said that Global Warming will increase the destructive power of hurricanes to the point that we will have a Katrina Type hurricane every year.

 

[marshal zhukov]

What happens is they run out of Greek letters ?

Good question. I think that they will just start repeat the first names and call it the second.

Like Katrina II, Wilma II, and Rita II for example.

Mmmmm... Sexyyyyy.....

 

[silver 2039]

I'd be hilarious if this hit Britian...ha

 

[allhailIndia]

Don't forget the cyclone season!!

Cyclone "baaz" is expected to hit South East India in the next 24-36 hours!

36 hours after heavy rains flooded Tamil Nadu

1 Month after South India was hit by heavy rains

11 Months after the tsunami hit

and 1 and half years into the reign of the Cong(I)/ JD (U) Govt. in Karnataka

Now you decide which is the biggest disaster

no, during the more active hurricane periods they are more destructive too.

they comine names and letters, rita episilon, katrina beta, etc.

I think it's fair to say that God has finally decided to punish the Southern States.

you're right! those baptist ministers were telling the truth!

Are we getting to the end of the Greek alphabet? If so, can then meteorologists say "we are the alpha and the omega"?
