Perfect Storm?

Have any of you New Englanders noticed that the Wilma/Alpha combo headed our way rather resembles the perfect storm? I can't help but feel that we are past due for something (not that I want it).

    This is a first...

    Never in the history of tracking hurricanes have so many been recorded...

    And they say climate change is a bunch of mularky.

    "The lowest pressure ever recorded for an Atlantic storm"

    "Most powerful hurricane ever recorded"

    "Most recorded hurricanes ever"

    Personally, I think it's mother natures way of telling us to quit destroying her (OUR) environment.

    But what do I know. I'm just a hot water plumber roaming the plains of Colorado:-)

    Time to think about going solar???

    Actually I was listening to a report on the radio a few weeks ago while traveling and they were talking about how the recent activity was a reoccurring pattern that took place I think in the 40'S? They went on to say in the next year or so we could expect to see these storms continue and include hitting area’s like Long Island and some New England States. I’ve had our friend Dan, his family, my family and friends in NE in my prayers since.

    I'm with you

    ME,

    this year so far is the warmest ever worldwide since accurate weather data has been collected. Every major ice mass in the world is retreating.

    Expect more rain!

    All we need is a big, cold, high pressure system to get in the right place at the right time with those two storms and WWHHhhhooooossshh!

    Here we go again!

    Awoke just a week ago Saturday to find our neighboring community here in Southern RI under a foot and a half of water. Turned on the news that morning to see the mayor of Cranston, RI chasing some bass down the middle of his street. Now things have started all over again but with gale force winds to boot! The 100+ year old Norway Maples on the south side of my house aren't going to like that kind of wind with the leaves still on them. I think I'll go hide under the bed until its over! ;>}

    In northern VT.,

    Where we are in the process of building a SIPs house, a blizzard warning is up for the next two days.

    Ever bang nails in a blizzard in October?

    Just got back from Florida

    to escape "Wilma" and now she is coming after me here in New England. I spent the day today clearing water out of my basement and we are due for 4" of rain tomorrow with high winds.

    I am getting to old for all of this.

    Weren't you right in the path of Wilma? Went just south of Naples, I think.

    Haven't banged nails in a blizzard in October, but I do remember shoveling 15" of "Partly Cloudy" on Thanksgiving one year. At least that's what the Weather Channel called it. Gotta love New England weather!

    Yup...

    ... looks like this is going to be a wet week... Spoke to a relative in FL and she told me that once the storm blew through that they were back to their usual sunny weather. She's maybe 60 miles north of Naples, so they definitely weren't hit with the hardest wind or rain.

    My thoughts are with those further south in the direct path of the storm. Dealing with 90+MPH winds is no fun, even if you're inside a reinforced-concrete structure.

    Up here in New England, things might get a bit ugly later this week. I worry for the trees in and around our area, as the combination of continously waterlogged roots and high winds may topple a number of them.

    That's happened before

    One of my older brothers lived in Thousand Oaks for a while until a major earthquake caused a section of Highway 101 to fall on his street. he had to take a 15 mile detour for quite a while to even get out of his street. The following year he decided to get out of the shaky zone and moved north to Redding, CA. Later that year they encountered major rain storms which brought half the hills behind their house down in the form of mudslides. They got through that and the following year relocated to North Carolina. One week later they were sitting in the midst of a Category 2 hurricane. After that I told him to let me know if they were going to move anywhere else so that I could stay as far away as possible. They're still in North Carolina.
