Thank GOD! Finally some rain. I we could just it to stall out over the coast for about a week we would be good to go.

It's the chav/trailer-park naming theme then, this year?

The should go for the wuss theme. Can you imagine being pummeled by a storm called Arielle, Barnaby, Clarissa, Dillon ... Jervais ... Mortimer ...

lumberjim · 06-01-2007, 08:16 PM

i have a sincere sense of foreboding about Olga.

Ibby · 06-01-2007, 08:56 PM

Humberto?

Wendy?

Yikes.

Imagine that, a storm named.... Wendy

The thread title threw me off a little. I expected a big lecture from tw about our lack of understanding of how hurricane seasons vary from year to year. Just heard on NPR the other day that while there is some correlation with average Atlantic temperature, it doesn't match that closely. A better match is the el Nino/la Nina cycle. Got no links for you, as it was just a report on the radio.

Ya, I recently sat through part of a NASA presentation that gave the impression that water temperature was the main factor, but I think you're right about el Nino. They do have some neat tech developing to predict rainfall by looking inside a hurricane now, cool stuff.

Chantal will play nice, but she'll cut you if you cross her.

Here's 150 years of storms.

A little late, but note how Taiwan is smack-dab in the center of the roughest track...

A Tropical Storm watch has in fact been issued for coastal Texas.
