Season Over For East Coast??

[caribepr]

i do not think there is one person on here that does not want to see a hurricane. Why else are you here. Yes I am very dissapointed this year we have had nothing. I like hurricanes and that is why I am here and so do you guys or you would find something else to do with your day! So stop knocking people when they get dissapointed for there not being something interesting to watch and wait for. You like it and you know but to scared to say it. Liking a hurricane does not mean you want someone to be hurt it is an exciting why else are we here?

I don't have time to go back and quote the MANY MANY MANY posts on why people come here, but trust me, there is more than one reason, which you claim as your reason. It might make some interesting and educational reading for you to search those posts out.

MJ, who is only scared of one thing, weatherwise - a major hurricane getting anywhere close

Could be, if they don't bounce back from that loss to FSU and improve their running game. I mean, Coker's a fine coach and all, but...

...oh....

You meant THOSE hurricanes!

...nevermind....

[Blown Away]

Yep....season over! Take down the shutters! Put away the tracking maps! Close down the Home Depot! Send Emergency Management home and shut down FEMA!
Are ya disappointed?! I pray in the next few weeks we do not have a monster develop and cause serious havoc on some coastal community. At least all the disappointed "season over" people will have something to TRACK.
Please excuse my frustration!

Um there is going to be a hurricane in a couple days.
There is a difference liking hurricanes and liking hurricanes that are going to hit somewhere and cause damage and distruction.
There has been plenty of really cool hurricanes to track in the pacific and one currently about to explode in the atlantic to track.
I think that it's the fact that people are saying the season is boring (or over)because somewhere in the US isn't getting wacked hard that is frustrating to some.

I didn't say the season's over, just maybe for E coast landfalls from the Atlantic. How often does a system from the E/Central Atlantic make landfall during late Sept, does happen, just not that often. Example, the wave near 11/37 that has been discussed would take 2 weeks to get to the E coast, late Sept climatology says it will get kicked out to sea. NW Carib is always open during late season, as I stated. Some people need to get off their high horse, nobody wants to see people suffer and destruction.

Gloria in 1985 didn't form until September 16 near the CV islands, and hit on September 27. That's still over 1 week from now. Who's to say the next TW doesn't become the next Gloria? However, in general, you have a good point.

Wrong!

Why else are you here.

To get information about what might be coming my way.

Blownaway... my post was not directed at you at all... I should of quoted weatherwoman when responding to her post. Sorry about that.

well folks time is running out quickly, EC troughs do not seem to be letting up. The Cape Verde season seems nearly as pathetic as last year. I would be shocked if the EC got anything serious this year.

Now the GOM and Florida are a different story. I think the Caribbean and GOM will be open for business for a while

IT gets so old seeing posts such as this. It is over when it is over. Take nothing for granted. The last few years have proved that.

I have to agree with blown away here it looks increasing like a early fall is in the works and the fronts are stronger than normal this time of year this should keep the east coast (at least from the carolinas north) clear. This does not mean a storm cannot hit the east coast it just means it is unlikely to come from the central atlantic basin. The amount of time it takes for CV storms or anything that forms from say east of 45-50 to reach the east coast should allow for the storms to get picked up this means that in order for the east coast to get a long track storm it has to be in the pipe right now and there would have to be no fronts coming through (which there is ) so I have to say my concerns over a long track hit here in the Carolinas is much reduced.

I am of course going to watch closer to home but again up here it is rare to get a storm after Sept I know there examples of storms that do hit but again they are rare so the odds of getting one in any particular year is quite low.

South Florida's worst month climatologically is October.

I'm thinking that the troughs are not only protecting the east coast but also the GOM. It may be very hard for anything to get past these troughs. I was thinking that the GOM season (at least the western GOM) is pretty much a done deal - over and closed the door. We'll see within the next couple of weeks.

2 days away from the peak of hurricane season and all we've had to worry about was a small 75mph hurricane. This has been one of the best seasons in a long time! A few more weeks and we can all have a party.

just don't party so quick, while I think an EC threat is diminishing quickly as we speak, I think the season will still end in a bang - we haven't even hit the peak yet of Sept 10th....

You can party if it were Nov. 8th....not yet though

[emeraldislencguy]

one only has to look at the history of nc storms to see that nc can be affected by stroms in late september and even october--Hazel, Helena, only to name a couple that were these types of storms--late september and even october storms have done a lot of damage to nc

[Stratusxpeye]

IMO we may very well go this year with no landfalling hurricane. Also may have 0-1 majors anywhere in the atlantic basin. Need the rest to try and get things back to normal. Not something we should be dissapointed in but it is something to party over

Here is 1995-2004 September, just hurricanes, tropical storms and 2005 excluded.

[DanKellFla]

I'll take it!

Blame me.... I spent $3000 on hurricane preparation, recovery materials and house hardening. That reduces the chances of me actually needing any of that to nearly nothing. If that helps my neighboors, that is fine with me. Next year, I wll replace all my exterior doors for about the same cost. After that, I will be requesting sponsorships to keep the hurricanes away.

[Hurricaneman]

Id say until october 15, you cant really let the east coast off the hook, its really unpredictable what will happen

[TampaSteve]

Season over??? Are you serious??? It's not even close to being over!!!

How soon people forget...

[SouthFloridawx]

I don't think you guys are looking at the same set up I am. Look at the ridge that is building in.

We are lucky the trough is evicting Florence from the Western Atlantic.
