Might be a cool place to go for disaster relief.

I like the food, but I'm not at all good with the language.

My mistake. While busy watching this potential tropical storm south of Cuba at longitude 80 W, I failed to realize the National Hurricane Center was declaring a storm at 35 W as the new tropical depression. The potential tropical storm south of Cuba has not yet condensed into a tropical depression and may not when it strikes the Yucatan Pennisula.

My partner at work is leaving for a Carribean Cruise this weekend.

I think he is about to find out why the rates were so low.

I had a dream, months ago, that we would make it to "V" and we would see a hurricane that shares my name. I even dreamt that I would get to meet this storm, personally, and see the damage it would cause to my hometown.

It was just a dream.

And, yet, <a href="http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=167&tstamp=200510">there it nearly is</a>.

Dammit.

Isn't that something of a unique trajectory for a TS/hurricane?

A storm was brewing in the same area that created Hurricane Stan - south of Cuba. Another was brewing east of Puerto Rico and moving to the NW towards maybe SC. But the National Hurricane Center says another will probably become a Tropical Storm in about half way across the Atlantic. And so the question becomes not if, but which will become Tropical Storm Vince.

The last name on the list is Wilma. We just might use every name on the list.

BTW, that does not include the Eastern Pacific that was up to something like Otis - the fifteenth storm. And that list does not include typhoons in the western Pacific whose names are continued rather than restarted every year.

Where is storm'in Norman? Well he will be the 14th storm next year.

Tropical Strom Vince has been created. But this one is confused. Born between the Azores and Canary Islands, it is headed for Spain and Portugal. Clearly this storm does not like publicity as his older sisters Rita and Katrina. Only one more storm name exists in the 2005 list - Wilma.

Wonder why they don't use Xavier or Yolanda or Zelda?

18 days left this season. Of course, some of the most powerful hurricanes have struck after the "season" is over.
