When Blue Water turns Black

Alex, Bonnie, Colin, Danielle, Earl, Fiona
Gaston, Mermine, Igor, Julia, Karl, Lisa
Matthew, Nicole, Otto, Paula, Richard
Shary, Tomas, Virginie, Walter
are the hurricane names for this 2010 year. Predictions imply we might use them all. The first tropical storm name, Alex, has already been used.

Meanwhile, Eastern Pacific has already has four: Agatha, Blas, Celia, and Darby. The first occured at the end of May.

If last year is an indicator, we had one early hurricane followed by months of nothing. As usual, hurricanes fear to approach the Cellar.

Too bad the cellar can't extend its juju down to the Gulf.

I totally get to be a hurricane this year! I've been WAITING! Oh, I guess I just let on my real name. Yeah, it's Gaston. Please to forget it immediately.

I was on the list in 2007 but there weren't enough hurricanes...

monster · 07-03-2010, 07:25 PM

I'm unlikely to ever be a hurricane. Which is probably a good thing.

busterb · 07-03-2010, 08:10 PM

I see that they have exclude, from my insurance, any named wind storm. Thanks !@#$%

ZenGum · 07-03-2010, 09:28 PM

So, you're only covered for things that won't do any damage. Good to know in advance.

I'm waiting to see what happens when brown water turns black.

I see they've skipped hurricane spanky again, so I'm clear.

I don't think I got a photo, but there was a toyshop in Nagoya called Spanky's, specialising in latex rubber toys. Perfectly legitimate children's toyshop.

Hopefully we can move off the coast before we ever have to deal with it. Now I hear there are problems with the Fed Flood Insurance program.

A tropical depression east of FL means oil spill ships must shut down operations 1 week earlier and start leaving the Gulf. This depression could become Bonnie.

Below are pictures from 20 Jul, 21 Jul, and 22 Jul that demonstrate how a random event can quickly organize into a depression. During this period, the NHC predicted only a 40% chance of it becoming an organized storm.

Bonnie, now over southern FL, will predict how powerful Gulf storms can be. The Gulf surface temperatures are currently approaching temperatures seen during the Katrina year.

Stupid Bonnie.
