I musta missed a post... but mine and I think many others were making fun of the line up of storms not wxman57.. unbelieveable how busy the CV system just may get this year. Sometimes things go over my head though too :oops:

P.S. When something disturbs me I tend to make fun of it... I think many others do too.. so if people were refrencing my post.. It was in no way shape or form directed at wxman57 (who i respect) but at the lineup of storms... which concerns/disturbs me greatly!

Things are about to heat up? Wait it has already heated up. It is getting ready to get crazy around here...Not wait it is already crazy around here. It is getting ready to huff and puff and blow like nuts around here.

And my bet Katrina, Maria, and Lee are going to be bad to the bone. Why? Well my oldest daughter is Kathryn which translates in swedish to Katrina. And she is small but full of spunk and very strong. My baby middle name is Marie which translates in Swedish to Maria and she is a minature hurricane in real life. Nothing is safe. And the Lee....well just look at me. That is my middle name. :lol:

This is my own opinion and not the NHC opinion. But you would have to meet my children to understand. :coaster:

that is quite a lineup! wowza! my family is most concerned about irene: i have an aunt with that name who always blows into town and rearranges every household. we're wondering if (or, perhaps, worried that) her namesake storm will do the same!

Until this SAL eases some ...

development will be a dead issue.

I've said it before and I'll say it again I think SAL is way overrated. IMO

If you were referring to my post about Alpha and Beta; it was not at all directed to make fun of the author rather it made fun of how many storms this season seems to be going toward.

He made an observation...and a winky. I believe his post was meant to be as light-hearted (although not totally improbable) as the rest of them. No one is making fun of him...they're laughing with him.

(At least, that how I was interpreting it all.)

Whew.. that's how I interpreted it too.. thus the light hearted post from here!

Some mighty fine waves have rolled off the coastline this year, no doubt.

Who made fun of wxman57? I went back through the thread and didn't see anyone make fun of him. Brent joked with him but I'm 100% certain wxman57 knew exactly what he meant. I'm sorry, but I don't see anything disturbing in the least. We've known him for a few years and at least everyone that I know of, respects him tremendously and appreciates his input here. I think you read more into it than there was. We're all amazed at the amount of possible action we could see soon, after everything we've had so far.

Furthermore, although wxman57's post is somewhat troubling, I believe he made it in a little bit of jest as well or he wouldn't have named every blob, one right after the other. Lighten up, wxcrazy.

HEEELLLPP!!

I must know this- if these waves were hypothetically speaking, bound towards the SE US, how long would it take the first cluster over Africa to reach the SE Continental US? (I'm concerned as a floridian)

Well, maybe so, but I guess it must be me, but I have seen a lot of posts that bash people to no end. Anyways, it must be my interpretation of what I see. Sorry, if I misinterpreted, but it seems that there is a lot going around of this stuff...

I wouldn't worry to much about it at this time! Right now the NHC says that development is unlikely through at least tomorrow so just keep up to date on whats going on and atleast right now everything should be fine! I really don't think that all those storms will develop from what I can see they are way to close togiether to all develop at best some of them would just bring rain! however it is possible that 1 or 2 of them could develop so just stay up to date and you will be fine!

Tampa Bay Hurricane, first of all, chill. -we have a long long time to worry about nothing. The odds are against these things developing at all. Secondly, if they were to develop, they are way too far away to say whether they would go fish or threaten any land yet. Third, even if they were to develop, odds are that we won't get a direct hit from a Cape Verde system on this side of the state with the ridge(s) were they are now. The ridges can and probably will move by say 10 days, but still way way too far out to try and predict something like this. The speed of the waves, and subsequently any further developed tropical system could really alter any guess at when it could arrive. We see storms move at 5 knots or like 25 knots. Obviously a faster storm would get here sooner and a slower one could take an additional week!
Bottom line, no need to worry about things sitting in Africa if you live in Tampa! Relax and enjoy paradise while you can!

Tampa Bay Hurricane · #39 Postby **Tampa Bay Hurricane** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 1:50 pm

I am relaxed, I just wanted to know how long on average any Cape Verde wave takes to reach SE US. Like with Ivan I think it was 2.5 weeks...or something. Just a curiosity with numbers...yes I know my previous post sounded worried but I'm not worried just curious....

#40 Postby **TreasureIslandFLGal** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 1:55 pm

Well, if the ridge is strong, they seem to just cook on over and take about 2 weeks. If the ridge or ridges are weaker, it can take 3 weeks. Depending on how strong the storms get, that can effect the path they take too.
I know it seems to be taboo to mention it here, but JB talks about the teleconnect factor with action in the pacific dictating similar action in the atlantic about 10-14 days later. What's going on there now? In 10 days, we could be looking at similar action. Who knows.
In fact, I wonder what JB has said about these waves. Anyone check out his opinion today?
