Yet another hurricane on the way!
« on: September 16, 2004, 05:11:20 PM »
Yep, that's right, after Charley, Frances, and with Ivan pounding itself to death on the USA gulf coast, here comes ANOTHER one. According to NOAA, Tropical Storm Jeanne has been strengthening and just been upgraded to hurricane status, and is currently sweeping in over Haiti.

This makes number six this year globally - not yet unusual, 7.7 being the average, 3.6 being major hurricanes like Charley, Frances and Ivan. But if this one strengthens and hits the US, it will make the fourth this year to do so. Can insurers handle this? Can the people handle it?

Yet another hurricane on the way!

Hey, I'm not through with this one yet. It's sitting on top of my head.

Only one tree down, and the power is back on.

And another. Tropical storm Karl will strengthen to a hurricane today or tomorrow. Jeanne has weakened to a tropical storm but is still giving the Dominican Republic a pounding, and might strengthen up again, although it will never be a monster like Ivan. Karl might, however.

My God. I ate a really hot curry last night, only to discover I'm now a tropical storm in the making :-o

I can't think what the connection might be :lol:

From Gator, FL:

Another game, another hurricane.
Just when it appeared the Gators were in the clear for the first time this season, Hurricane Jeanne has made a U-turn, is bearing down on Florida and could impact part of the state by the weekend.
