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?

Same reason they don't use "Quentin."

Quote:
Vince formed in a very unusual location--off the coast of Portugal. No known tropical storm has ever formed so far north and east. Thirdly, Vince formed in a region where water temperatures were only about 24 C--usually, 26 C is needed! Fourthly, Vince is incredibly tiny--and was a hurricane for about 12 hours! Hurricane party, tonight! Woo! |

A 12 hour blow is pretty impressive...sure you're up for a party?

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

There is no Betty and there is no Hurricane Barney. Fred is scheduled to arrive in 2009. And Wilma threatens to be a real bitch this weekend.

She's the most intense hurricane ever, this morning. 881mb. Wilma dropped 85mb in just 12 hours.

I'm wondering ... if she heads across Florida from West to East, when she gets out into the Atlantic, will she bounce off the Gulf Stream and hit the Carolinas as a parting gift?

Expect a significant predicted track change at 5pm, today. The incoming low isn't as low as they thought.
Wilma is gonna be wild. |

are the evacutating your area Kitsune? My dad has a place in Pt Charlotte and he went down there last weekend but noone has heard from him. Ive called everyday this week and have gotten no response, and now they are projecting this storm to come in right about there. Just curious about the mentality of the area at present.
