![]() According to Rush Limbaugh, Issac's trajectory and movement is Obama's Big Government Attempt to ruin the Tampa convention and strike the same area Katrina did 7 years ago. Maybe... if we vote Obama in again, he won't let the hurricanes hit us anymore? ![]() http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...m_hp_ref=media

The hurricane season is essentially finished for this year. Most storms either took a popular 2010 path via the Carribean and into the Pacific. More took a path headed for Europe. For example, Leslie in late August desolved in the eastern Atlantic and became heavy rain in Europe. Many potential tropical storms only made land in Europe as rain. Nadine has been wandering aimlessly in circles for a few weeks in the Eastern Atlantic south of the Azores. Most hurricanes like to travel and don't survive that long.
2012 Hurricanes are in red. Tropical storms in yellow. |

Approaching the UK from the southeast are remnants of what was once called Hurricane Nadine. First clouds from that storm are making landfall.
Nadine was very unusual in that it remained wandering the central Atlantic since declared a tropical storm on 11 September. She became a very old lady. Those raindrops in the Midlands and Ireland are dying remnants of a once proud hurricane. |

A tiny group of storms slowly crossed the Atlantic on a track that diverted previous storms north towards the British Isles. This one was always a 'less than 10% chance' of becoming a tropical storm. Instead of hooking north, it moved slowly north of the Bahamas. Then suddenly, in only 24 hours, it became tropical storm Patty. A debutant.
Most all storms at this location head north or northwest up the Atlantic coast. This one is headed south west towards the Gulf. Well the Gulf has cooled since 22 Aug. At best, Patty may live long enough to become a cute hurricane. |

Most all storms have taken off for Europe this year. So many hurricanes. And not two even strike the US mainland. Today, Tropical Storm Tony was born. Only one year previous did we have so many potential hurricanes as to run out of names. Only Valerie and William are left.
