think that it will form something?

well i wont disagree with you,that spin been there a few days,it just may work its way down to the surface..

yes yes yes I have a blog about it

looks as if there is good convection starting to suround it

watching the Pat Benatar and Martina are you?

My sister is having another baby.

cool

No not another one

just joking

she is really having a baby was joking about not another one

when is it due?

well king what do you think Irene has going for this week. More West or more North?

along time from now she just found out.

wnw

do you think that it will find that weakness? and stay clear of the US?

babys are such fun

think that it might be a little quite for a few days with no one arguing stormtop says that he will be off unless something major develops.

It is outta here. Thats why I'm watching the mid level low.

i am new to this site and I hate it when he startss bickering with people that is not why we all come here

I have to argue with him just to say opinion.

as long as it picks on someone other than Florida right now I am okay no hard feelings to anyone else but it is someone else's turn

I want something to hit north carolina.

where are you at King?

I understand about you stating your opinion and that is what people here do but it just goes to far sometimes.

I think it will do nothing just my oppinion dont know where it will go though.

ray..well dont send it to north gulf coast,after Ivan ,cindy and dennis..we had our share too..LOL

In eastern North Carolina. He says everything say is wrong. What can I do but argue?

For what it's worth, I really think it's unlikely that Irene will threaten anything or develop into anything much. However, there continues to be a lot of activity throughout the basin and I would not be surprised if we have some more depressions this week.

no Texas really needs the rain it can go there but just let it be a strong Tropical Storm no major hurricane no one deserves that.

LOL there has been already alot of severe thunderstorm damage esspecially in central florida hurricanes will only help destroy all ready damaged areas and others that haven't or that suffered damage from last year,this icredible amount of severe weather in florida is getting crazy...

I want some action. Everyone read my comment up the page it has big news.

actually if you think about Florida had 3 hits charlie,fran and jeanne...but three on north gulf coast within 80 miles of each other is RARE...The state of florida has lots of coast..and charlie was on west side..although Ivan made land fall in baldwin ,co. al. florida still shared it..

LOL here in tampa the outer edges of tiny hurricane charley and weakened cat 1 jeanne and francis (after crossing the state) was purty darn crazy 80 mph winds ten inches with jeanne 7 with francis and a mere 1.5 - 2 from one or 2 outer bands from charley I live near tampa closer to clearwater beach.

here in tampa we had bad storms around 2:00-2:30 that kept shutting the power down. He have really been lucky in Tampa more in Pinelass County then here. But Orlando has had it really bad the last few days. Florida doesn't need anymore Hurricanes. I got lucky here no tree damage nothing 24 hours without power. Now other parts here got hit hard.

but they seem to weaken when they get here guess no water to fuel them

Not really.. look at the old radar image at landfall (if you can find it that is) I believe that it hit both but they coudnt say both so they gave it to alabama because of florida being already hit by charley and francis just my guess.Oh and the eastern side of Ivan was also alot worse than the left side rain wind and all...And they DO consider florida to officially 4 hurricane landfalls.

i gues that since i have a thick brush of woods behing me i didn't get to feel the rath i got more from thunderstorms than i did any of them

Ya the thunderstorm we had here in pinnelas dumped about a little over 2 inches in about a half hour and we had rain rates of 3.5 to maybe 5.0 inches per hour and wind gusts to about 40 - 50mph briefely and a large amount of lightning but nothing new to florida lol,the heavy wind driven rain in sheets or walls was very tropical in nature,gave me a little memories of last yar just a little lol.

ray,not always,,Frederic 79 cat3..camille 69 cat5 they don't alway's weaken..some have lately,but where tampa is dont bank on one to weaken...example the fast intensification of charlie...

I knwo that if I went over to Plant City they had alot of damage there.

jed...look.IVAN did NOT make landfall in FLORIDA..go read the NHC archive's OK..thanks..knowledge is a good thing.

I actually get chills having been to tampa,st pete area..wow a big one there would be chaos..evacuation nightmare..and the surge tampa bay could have,after seeing what andrew did just cant imagine an andrew type hitting Tampa...would be bad...

why do they say then that there were 4 in florida I thought that it was Al. were it made the landfall or was it both states

checking eye of the storm for Ivan. He did not make landfall in florida the first time. He did go across florida when he went down the east coast to later redevelop in the gulf.

See here we got it pretty bad transformers blowing out constantly roaring winds up to maybe as high as 80mph didn,t have any anomometor at the time but I basically guessed based on st pete clearwater airport obs.Rain rates I think were as high as nearly 7 inches per hour in jeanne and a some roof damage in my area(Moblie homes:2 completely lost their roofs).And we only lost power for brief pwriods and we were the only ones in our area that still had power.Over all pretty crazy worst I have seen here so far since I have lived here,there were dangleing traffic signals and there were LOTS of tree branches and leaves everywhere and occaisional down trees only because we live near the coast and being that this is florida also.And the worst damage for me was a large transmission powerline (about 450,000 volts) fell of and hit the metal support and because I was out in the storm there was a HUGEexplosion sparks flew everywhere and it sounded like a bomb went off,and several times it got a little crazy when the powerlines were buzzing very loudly near our house and flashing bright red blue and orange.

because Florida..East pensacola got naile by NE quad and alot of the surge as Ivan made landfall in bama..

I cant amagine what a 4 or a 5 is like...

I got hit by charley in North Carolina.
