Gotta admit

I gotta admit something......this is VERY interesting to say the least. Being a *mountain man*, I've had very little interest in the tropics UNTIL now......my interests, winter weather! Hurricane Isabell has *churned up* my inner curiosity in hurricanes!

Hey Dennis... good to see ya's in the tropics. You are right, she is a churning. lol.

I have had at least a passing interest in the tropics since hurricane Gloria affected by area in 1985. But once I found the weather message boards and all the great discussions about tropical weather, my interest has turned into a darned-near obsession!

Hey Dennis:

Welcome to the south! this is the time of year that we all hope and pray that we dont see the monster storms that we all know really could happen. When I have talked to some friends that live up north and have experienced tornados, I have to say that their tornados are much more destructive than ours here in Fla. but then when I speak of a hurricane, I also have to say "SUSTAINED" winds of 100+. The forecasting is like forecasting a twister, they really don't know where its going until it gets there. they can only use the guidance that they have and predict as closely as possible but where they make landfall is a mystery until the very end.

Never say never to a hurricane........

Dennis, the sheer power and beauty of this particular storm is unbelievable! It takes my breath away with the awe I have for God and His creations and what we are seeing right now is the simple beauty of nature and once again, it just proves that we are not in charge here!
