Note the big bastard in the bottom right corner too heading for the Caribbean islands Winds upto 125mph in that one! Also theres another hurricane on the West Coast heading towards Mexico.

I'm taking some interest in the hurricanes as I off to florida on 15th Oct, hopefully they will all have finished by then. Ivan's on his way now after Frances who when it hit Florida was TWICE the size of Germany!

 

[Marc]

yep they is big bastards alright! The one on the west coast of Mexico (classed as a Typhoon for some reason) seems to of dispersed somewhat.

'Typhoon' because it is in the Pacific, I believe.

yeah just read up on that this minte Juan.
Gazwag, this might interest you:
"Every year between June 1 and November 30 (commonly called hurricane season)"

But the peak is until mid october, so hopefully we will be ok. Most of them do miss the coast line once they meet the jet stream, which I guess is why we get high winds etc a couple of weeks after the hurricanes hit America as they are pushed this way, at least they are dying all the time they are heading towards us.

yeah you should be fine, no point worrying about it as you cant predict the weather when you make holiday bookings.

absolutely, it was booked in Jul 03!

At least the yanks know how to deal with adverse weather, if we ever had winds of that speed the country would be shut down for months

I heard this morning that all flights to Florida have been cancelled - don't know whether that situation has changed the evening. Fantastic link though.

Interesting that the USA was one of the few nations who conspicuously did NOT sign up to that global convention (I forget the official title) to cut pollution and in turn reduce the effects of global warming. Now its southern states are getting systematically raped by the most frequent and violent series of hurricaines since records began, and all down to...global warming.

Mother nature knows what she is doing, you know...
