helloooo!!
There are times when hostile environments are good things..........
In before she hits the Texas coast.......oh...wait...
If it weren’t for the shear, I think this one would have been a major hurricane already.
All cheer for the shear...........
I'm gonna guess you will see Humberto redux before Ingrid gets to TX. Then again...
Let's go shear!
Let's go shear!
Let's go shear!
Why do I get the feeling that, 20 years ago, this wouldn’t have been a TS?
The models seem pretty sure that the only way anyone will get hit by Ingrid is on a ship! I expect this to be a very low interest thread, except on occasions of increasing storm classification.
If recon hadn’t flown in there, this wouldn’t have been named today.
20 years ago we would not even have known it was there!
hehe
but...but...this is the system everybody was talking about the day Felix made landfall.
Watching. (Bump)
I remember a time when we were lucky to get two days warning, now we watch them come off the coast of Africa.

Many thanks for the pic.
