Looks like Hurricane Lorenzo will hit Ireland Thursday with winds expected to be 60 mph.

Lorenzo went slightly north. So one data buoy recorded waves in as high as 25 feet. Winds approached 100 km/hr. Landfall apparently only left 4000 in blackout. Commuters mostly unaffected. Irish Coast Guard center in Valentia reported a quite night. A few coastal towns with a few feet of water.

Apparently Ireland suffers little damage from a near category zero hurricane (called an exo tropical storm). A storm equivalent to the so called "Super Storm Sandy" (by the local gossip that hypes fears and emotions rather then news).

A subtroical storm formed just Southeast of NYC. And surprise. The Nantucket data buoy reports 25 foot waves from this storm. Cruise ships normally go the other way. But ships such as Disney Magic and Anthem of the Seas have no option but to confront the edges of this subtropical storm.

It is predicted to stay around for a day or two.

Not sure if there's any such taxonomic thing as a "subtropical storm."

NYC's latitude is around 40 degrees 40 minutes north. Something "formed just southeast of NYC" isn't exactly approaching subtropical latitudes by any measure.

Thoughtful revision seems called for.
