Does anyone know why it seems the Weather Channel does not seem to do much in the way of forcasting west coast or their hurricanes. Actually I have never seen a hurricane tracked on the west coast? Do they only cover the east here, and have another edition on the west?

Oh no not again! I would ask for prayers for my family members who live in Melbourne, and have already endured so much from both Charley and Frances. Frances took part of their roof off and dumped a significant amount of rain inside their home.

Still after I saw the Island of Grenada (after Ivan), I know that my own family is blessed.

Do I see more retirees taking a second look at Arizona (after Florida's 2004 hurricane season)? **Warning come have a look around in the SUMMER time and decide if you can tolerate the heat before you buy! Don't believe all that stuff about "dry heat", the electric company also raises their rates considerably in the summer so if you are in an area that reaches 120 degrees, when you get your electric bill for the air conditioning, you are going to be EVEN warmer (under your collar).

My prayers for all of the hurricane victims of this year.

So far as TerRAYsa saying to let them go naked, what the heck is she thinking? With all that extra water, I would be willing to bet the bug and mosquitoes are horrific! What is the West Nile Virus situation in Florida? I remember the mosquitoes there can be merciless.

I have lost nearly 100 lbs in the past year, so I need to buy some smaller Pajamas while I am out this week, maybe I will buy some new Pj's and send them to East too!

I would venture to say that, to the folks in Florida at least, any of those would be acceptable EXCEPT the GFDL model.

Hey Pyro - have you seen this yet?

Yeah, I have been tracking her since she formed as a tropical depression. Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic are getting slammed. Let's home the terrain take some of punch away.

Doesn't seem like it'll stop until it gets to Z. This has got to be one of the worst seasons for hurricanes. One after the other.

I use Intellicast.com for my tracking - of course I'm from Michigan, so we only get the remnants - thank the Lord!

I know you've been tracking her, just making sure you had seen the latest update.

I agree with you about the terrain.............but weren't they hoping for the same with Ivan at one point????

Yeah, but Jamaica got brushed by Ivan, and western Cuba got bypassed basically. Jeanne is actually over the Dominican Republic, and they have mountians there. From what the report says, she will weaken into a (strong) tropical storm, but then become a hurricane again tomorrow.

I must admit to one benefit of the very active hurricane season...my knowlege of geography, topography and meteorology has increased dramatically!!!!!

They typically will do a special on a west coast hurricane if it threatens Hawaii or other US interests in the Pacific. But since the Pacific hurricanes typically begin off of Mexico and head west, they are moving away from the US, and most folks (unless they are in Hawaii), wouldn't care anyway. Most Pacific hurricanes (typhoons) end up off of Japan or the Phillipines.

I bought 80+ acres on the other side of the Catalinas from Tucson earlier this year for a rather paltry sum (my car payment is more per month). I hope you are right, could be a windfall.

That would definitely be a windfall!!!! Good luck.

You think we'll be getting fall out from Ivan or this one???

Here in central PA they have just posted a flood warning for the weekend. We are to get rain tomorrow from a different front and then remnants of Ivan are to come and stall over us. Our ground is already really saturated and almost had a flooding problem last week from Frances - local river flood stage is 23 and it crested at 20. They are calling for 4 - 8" - if that happens, anything over 2" we will be having problems. How bout you?

Uh-Oh. Accuweather has Jeanne going thru my front door. But I heard on the radio a little while ago that Jeanne most likely will veer north missing the Florida peninsula. I just bought myself 24 cans of octopus (pulpo). I'll probably finish them all off by Friday night but if it looks like Jeanne is coming this way, I'll buy 100 cans of pulpo. BEST canned food I ever ate. INCREDIBLE STUFF. I'll be making cerviche out of it later today.

Jeanne is actually over the Dominican Republic, and they have mountians there.

The tallest mountain in the Caribbean is in Santo Domingo. Pico Duarte. About 10,000 feet. Sometimes it even snows there! Someday I want to climb it.
