Of course once hurricane season OFFICIALLY hits, I don't know if I want to cry or cheer.....

Yes,it goes both ways as we like to track them but then they cause destruction and suffering.

[ConvergenceZone]

Yep I agree....but I guess since we can't stop it,
we might as well be fascinated and awed anyway with that aspect of mother nature.

Hard to believe the 2010 season is just about here.

[Jinkers]

Well we got 53 minutes to come up with a storm or it's season cancel.... I just had to get that one in here...LOL

[WeatherEmperor]

I just want to say good luck to everybody. A very active season awaits us and I pray everybody stays safe. Don't try to be a hero. Please evacuate if you are told to do so. Respect mother nature and take good care of yourselves

[cycloneye]

The 2010 seasson has arrived. Happy tracking but be prepared for the worst but hope for the best.

[King-6]

Here we go again,
May everybody stay safe...

[Dave]

From Indiana to all who are on or near the coasts, we'll do what we can from up here to help on the tracking & recon side of the tropical systems. Stay safe!

[JonathanBelles]

194 members on the annual hurricane forecast poll, and 49 members in the chatroom during the East Coast countdown to hurricane season. Storm2k is off to a great start!! I look forward to tracking all of the hurricanes and tropical storms that may come our way with all of you. Stay safe this hurricane season!!

[Jinkers]

Everyone have a very safe hurricane season..

[psyclone]

I echo your sentiments Fact, and let's hope west central Florida's epic good luck streak continues!

[Texas2Florida]

Happy Hurricane Day....

I'm still trying to move back to Florida...especially after this hard Texas winter..sheesh! Once I get the transfer, I think I'll do my supply tub here..especially since I'll probably be living in a hotel for a month once I do....

[KWT]

Well here we are now offically in Hurricane Season, as others have said stay safe!

Happy 2010 Hurricane Season everybody!!! Remember the Boy Scout motto: "Be Prepared"!!!

I echo your sentiments Fact, and let's hope west central Florida's epic good luck streak continues!

Fingers crossed that that is once again the case! Whatever protection prayers/ceremonies were put in place by the local indians to protect Pinellas County way back when seem to have really paid off for us over the last ~90 years. Hopefully that safe track record continues!
