My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me

-wait, you said it was over Florida? Nevermind.

So Miss Bonnie has decided to lay low for a while, content with tropical depression status...no telling what she might do when she hits the gulf. All signs point to no Hurricane Bonnie, and that is good.

Me either; my given name was a surname before I got it.

Somebody might reckon that a good thing too.

Shawnee123 · 07-27-2010, 09:49 PM

That's what ALL the non-hurricane named people say!

Urbane Guerrilla · 07-28-2010, 10:54 AM

And we're right!!!

It has hardly left the African coast. And already developing. If it stays on a track that takes it into FL and the Caribbean, then it has warm sea water all the way. If it does not divert, this will be the next hurricane.

Last year, numerous storms took a southern track that sometimes even landed on some South American coasts. This year the Gulf of Mexico has been boiling ripe for a good hurricane. But tracks for hurricanes and tropical depressions have been taking a right turn. Colin went just west of Bermuda.

The first picture (24 Aug) shows Danielle. The second picture (28 Aug) shows Danielle after taking a right turn and approaching Bermuda.

However Earl is tracking farther south and predicted to head for the American east coast. Time to pay attention. What will probably be Fiona is already forming behind Earl on a same track.

As shattered Danielle drifts slowly towards the UK, a chain of storms has lined up in her path.

Earl and Fiona as predicted. Gaston and what may be Hermine are right behind.

Outer cloud bands of Earl are making it very overcast here, but no rain, and no wind.

ZenGum · 09-03-2010, 07:02 PM

Would some of you hurricanes please enter the Gulf of Mexico? The water could use some good churning up and oxygenation. Thank you.

Clodfobble · 09-04-2010, 08:00 AM

Except, ah, please stop short of the coast and don't knock out our power. Kthxbai.

ZenGum · 09-04-2010, 11:32 PM

Good point. What she said.

The gang that could not shoot straight. Not a single 'cane can hit the US mainland. But then most have been aimed at Bermuda. About four have passed either 200 miles east or west of Bermuda. Igor takes a shot with Julia following. By Saturday, expect Bermuda to be, again, indomitable – a British tradition.

Yes, it feels like a less active hurricane season because they aren't hitting land, but it's actually been more active than usual so far. We are halfway through the season... I like this Weather Channel graphic.
