Ex Invest 90L

[Frank2]

Wow - I just read some of those "I'm going to cry that 90L didn't develop" comments, so, I've said it before and I'll say it again:

On August 22, 1992, I heard the late Dr. Burpee (HRD) say that Hurricane Andrew was heading northwest (away from South Florida), and, my dumb comment was, "Aw - I just wanted to have some fun!".

Well, as we know Andrew didn't turn northwest, but, on August 24, 1992, came straight across South Florida as a Cat 4/5 hurricane - and took my roof with it - and, that started a very unpleasant, stressful (a/k/a miserable) period in my life, so, before you start wishing for bad things, believe me, you better know what your wishing for...

As others here said in reply to some of these posts - apparently, these are posters who are too young to know the suffering and misery Hugo, or Andrew, or even Katrina brough to thousands or even millions of people, who had their houses ruined, their jobs lost, their schools destroyed, and, even the loss of their life - all due to a natural disaster, so, as the Bible says, "Let those who have ears listen!"

Sure, we are all weather enthusiasts, some even being professional meteorologists, or, others, such as myself, having worked in that field in a supporting role, otherwise, we would not be visiting this site, but, to wish for something bad to come, well, that's not right, but, human nature being what it is, sometimes, we just have to learn the hard way, as I did many years ago...

Our post Charley experience here was nothing but work, pain in the *** problems, August heat and humidity with no electricity, lack of community and services for months, house repairs that took over a year to find workers for, and major expenses.

Florida should have a mandatory hurricane code for buildings and infrastructure.

would this at 9N,33W be our old 90L, even though it is solidly attched to the ITCZ?

updating image:

i don't tkink so; hummm.... ex 90 L would be at:
A TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 44W S OF 17N MOVING W NEAR 20 KT. THIS
IS A LOW AMPLITUDE WAVE WAVE WITH NO SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION.
SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE CONFINED TO THE ITCZ.
Latest from ssd positions Sunday was 03/0545 UTC 11.9N 34.0W T1.0/1.0 90L http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/positions.html
So, i'm a little dubtfull about a position at 9N 33w today ...or maybe my eyes are deceiving me lol ( pretty low confidence).

Very powerful post Frank and it is very important for people to have this perspective.
In previous years, when I wasn't the most rational person around,
I would wishfully forecast big ones into my region.

But gradually, I have matured and increased in knowledge about
the misery of hurricanes.

This ITCZ blob isn't 90L.

[Blown Away]

Ex 90L is somewhere between 55-65W.

[perk]

This ITCZ blob isn't 90L.

I agree this blob is not 90L.

[Fego]

Unless 90L moved back to the central Atlantic, this wave-blob is NOT related with that invest... then, there is a misunderstood. In any case, there is a topic related with the wave-blob (Large Wave in Central Atlantic) .

[cycloneye]

Unless 90L moved back to the central Atlantic, this wave-blob is NOT related with that invest... then, there is a misunderstood. In any case, is better to open a new topic about this wave-blob.

There is a thread about that wave "Large Wave in Eastern Atlantic".

Hello neighbor Luis! I thought that thread was talking about the next wave after 90L, LOL! Maybe we should name these threads: "Large wave approx 30W Sunday Aug 3" or similar, since they keep moving.

Frank and Sanibel, I don't even have to have lost a roof, etc. to be afraid to ever say something like that. I've too many friends in the area who tell stories of going MONTHS (not days) with no electricity, and shortages of things like safe drinking water, toilet paper, gasoline; with the only road(s) 'from here to there' closed due to slides! No one comes rushing in with truckloads of supplies, they have to come by boat, and first be paid for through banks that stay closed until electricity is back on, etc. No thanks, they can all fizzle except the fish, and I'm happy!!!

[HURAKAN]

The SAL is visible.

[Gustywind]

It's awfully fair weather down the road for the Carib, the monster wave of SAL is seriously inhibiting any system coming of Africa. Let's enjoy it, the week after will be much more interresting....

Where can you with that? I have the answer in the Olympics SAL GAMES

Ex-90L is at 47W.

AN ATLANTIC OCEAN TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 47W SOUTH OF 15N
MOVING WEST 10 TO 15 KT. NO PRECIPITATION ACCOMPANIES THIS WAVE.

[Gustywind]

LOOL humm that was i my thought this morning but .... never mind i love SK2

[Blown Away]

This wave (9N/35W) has maintained its convection for a while now and has a little spin to it. Can't be much keeping this from invest status.

http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/catl/loop-avn.html

Is this a wave or just part of the ITCZ?

EDIT: It's a wave, per NWS's surface analysis map:

[RL3AO]

AN ATLANTIC OCEAN TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 32W/33W SOUTH OF 20N
MOVING WEST 10 TO 15 KT. NUMEROUS STRONG SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FROM 8N TO 10N BETWEEN 34W AND 36W.
