Centauri's Thoughts

Well, I see that the summer pattern has started again. Barely has one Tropical depression storm blown onto land, and we have another strengthening behind it.


This is exactly what it was doing last year, one after the other for months. The difference this year is its starting a month earlier.


They predict a busy year, more than last year, and if today is any indicator, yes, it will be QUITE a busy hurricane season.


Even though Cindy was only 4 MPH short of being classified as a hurricane, Dennis is expected to make that status tonight, and then go on to strengthen up to a Category III (115 MPH winds).


The GDFL Model predicts 127 Knot winds in 48 hours.. which is 146 MPH, a strong Cat IV.


What a way to open the season, eh?


The outlook calls for 12-15 tropical storms, with 7-9 becoming hurricanes, and 3-5 of these becoming major hurricanes.
