Cross Over Point

#1 Postby skysummit » Wed May 18, 2005 12:02 pm

With everything that happened last year with storms avoiding Jamaica, I can see Adrian cross over at the point of least land...right along the Guatemala/Honduras/El Salvador border just south of Belize. There's still a lot of land there (about 200 miles or so I believe), but it would be the area of "least resistance".

Wow! That map is fantastic. That should tear this storm up real good.

7,000-8,000 foot mountains with many valleys, thus the potential exists for mudslides and flash flooding.

It it stays further south & crosses over south Nicaragua/Costa Rica region it will be in & out in no time.

Great looking map BTW..Can you PM me & provide a map like that of Cuba & Hispaniola?

It has to cross over just perfect for the least amount of land. It is trying to set up that.

Hmmm...I wouldn't know where to find one. I found that one off of a Belize website.

Oh well thanks anyway.. 8-)

Looks like the storm will traverse lots of land as that scenario I decribed above cant happen unless Adrian moves directly east.

The main problem with that area is going to be mudslides if Adrian is as much a rain producer when she hits land. I am hoping the mountains rip her apart..........

Regardless the villages in that area are going to take a beating. Massive mudslides and flooding. They still haven't recovered from Mitch in 1998.
