Irene, Jose, Katrina, Lee, Maria, and Nate are names you will become familiar with. As Harvey continues moving off to the NW - maybe going after the Brits - a new tropical depression has already formed before even getting half way across the Atlantic. Currently around 30-35 degree W, this storm is on a slightly more southern track that should bring it closer to the US mainland next week. Have you made your plans yet for August 13?

Its now called Irene. But FL residents can take a breather. It too is headed north following the path of Tropical Storm Harvey - and maybe threaten Bermuda.

Looks like Irene is aimed right for the Cellar. It's still a tropical storm, but is expected to be upgraded to a hurricane before it hits Philadelphia on Thursday morning.

Edit: This image is hosted by NOAA, and is updated regularly. It seems to be turning more toward NYC now.

Start charging those digital video/still device batteries now, Cellarites. We'll need to see some first hand coverage.

There is an interview with Gray, the meteorologist tw mentioned, in the September Discover. He feels he had his funding cut under Clinton/Gore because of his opposition to the idea that global warming increases the severity of hurricane seasons.

I can help - I'll be somewhere around ground zero for Irene. I'm right now in lovely Raleigh NC, and am slated to leave on Saturday morning and possibly to return on Tuesday.

Unless Irene has different plans for me. Toilet Paper, dried milk, bottled water, and crackers anyone?

(Much different storm prep than the PA Snow runs that's for sure!)

Well, he should be happier now that the current administration's attitude is pretty much "anything that makes money can't be bad for the environment." Bet he'll get plenty of funding.
