Hurricane Irene is not messing around. The East Coast is going to get quite the lashing. Please be prepared if you live anywhere near her projected path.
The New York metro area should keep a close eye on her path as she is going to get rather close to us sometime next week.
Tropical Depression 4 has formed in the Atlantic! Bring on the waves!!!!!
As per the 11am update, the National Hurricane Center has announced the formation of Tropical Depression Three in the Bahamas. The Hurricane Hunters are en route to the storm to get better readings of pressure levels and wind speeds but it looks like we’ll have Tropical Storm Bonnie some time today.
Tropical Storm warnings have been issued for the Bahamas, South Florida, and the Keys for the next 48 hours. Also looks like it will be a rough weekend for the oil cleanup crew in the Gulf as this storm looks like it is going to cross right over where everything is happening.
Here it is, the first tropical depression of the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Likely to strengthen and be Tropical Storm Alex some time tomorrow. We’ll see how this thing pans out after it crosses the Yucatan Peninsula and enters the Gulf of Mexico. Texas is looks like you might have some waves and then some squally weather later next week.
Hurricane Celia has reached Category 5 and is packing a punch with 195mph wind gusts!
She’s a tiny storm but a very very powerful one.
Good thing she’s out in the middle of the Pacific and will stay there.
Cabo is going to go OFF in a couple days!

An Homage to Hurricane Bill
Remember this fella? The hype machine got put on overdrive when reports like this were coming out…
I’ll take a coulpe Bills this year also send a Danny or two our way!
Researchers said eight hurricanes and 15 named tropical storms are likely to form in the Atlantic basin during the 2010 hurricane season, which begins June 1 and extends through Nov. 30. Four of the storms are expected to develop into major hurricanes with sustained winds of 111 mph or greater.
The forecasting team based its predictions on weakening of El Nino conditions combined with abnormally strong warming of the tropical Atlantic waters.
Is it to early to start getting hyped up for Hurricane season!?
