Hurricane Season is Upon Us

[Youngblood]

I have a hurricane fascination. It is June 1st, the start of the hurricane season and I am already checking in on one of my favorite sites to follow beginning at this time... National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane season started yesterday and runs through until November. The seasons first named storm has already happened and is expected to dissipate over Mexico, tropical depression Arthur, as once again forecasters are calling for an active season.

I'm not sure if I am the only one who has this fascination, but as these monsters begin building off the coast of Africa, gliding along the lesser Antilles, feeding off the seasonably warm water and true natural violence and wonder begin, I cheer for the hurricane. I check in as potential depressions and cyclones build, check forecasting predictions, potential for growth, and I absolutely cheer. Go Hurricane! Grow! Grow! Go Hurricane!

It isn't that I want to see destruction, or death or mayhem that lays in their paths, that follows in their wakes, but I am just sooo fascinated by the power of nature, and seeing it at its full force, that I can't seem to not cheer for them.

So hello hurricane season. Go! Go! Go!

In some strange and twisted way, I envy you for it too. Of course not the hardship, death and destruction. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.

But damn I want to see me some hurricane. If I had the money and time and means, I would be in one of those planes flying thru it as it formed, and there on the shore where ever it lands.

We got hit by Hurricane Juan a few years ago. It beat us up bad even though it was only a Cat 2 storm. It's forward momentum was very fast so it hit us with the thud of a cat 3 storm.

Check out what Hurricane Juan did to Halifax, Nova Scotia (that is where I am from)...it beat us up and pissed on us all night.

You know Dean, I have seen it and I did follow it. I remember it was supposed to lose strength as it worked it's way up the Eastern seaboard, as they often do, and hit as a strong tropical or weaker Cat. 1. But it wouldn't give it up, and plowed in at a Cat. 2 and moving quickly, as you say. Unusual that strength for there.

But those hurricanes are almost always moving fast by the time they start moving towards the North Atlantic.

A year of living in Jacksonville FL has given me a very healthy hatred of hurricanes

By pissing on you, there's nothing wrong with that. A little rain never hurt anybody.

National Hurricane Center.

Back when I was a little tacker, had a chance to go see The Hurricane Center. A lot of nice people there and the computer setup was fun to watch. Don't remember what year it was tho.

One day after the a levy broke on the mighty Mississippi River, a woman and her son was sitting on the roof of thier farm house, watching the water flow by, when the lillte boy turned to his mother and said:

Moma, there is something strange going on with the flow of the water.

What do you mean son? Asked the mother.

He replied: I have been watching that there straw hat for about hour now and it will move about a 100 yards with the flow of the water, then it will stop and start moving against the flow, for about 100 yards. Why does it do that Moma? the boy asks.

The mother hugs her son and says: Don't worry about that son, That is just your Daddy.


She said, Come Hell or High water, he promised to mow the front yard.
