<p>(Yeah, I’m sick of the political threads, too, so let’s talk about the weather instead!)</p>
<p>Look here: [National</a> Hurricane Center](<a href=“http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml]National”>http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml)</p>
<p>Yee-haw.</p>
<p>H is a weather-hound catastrophe adjuster - if I have to discuss the weather any more, someone may get hurt.</p>
<p>It’s incredible. It’s like a factory line of tropical systems…one after the other. Luckily Hanna will stay off the coast of Florida (at least it is predicted to). We have already lost 4 school days because of Fay. lol</p>
<p>I blame sunspots–and Bush.</p>
<p>If you are a National Hurricane Center junkie, that’s what the mid-Atlantic looks like this time of year – one low after another spinning off Africa and heading west. Most of these lows don’t get organized, obviously, but some turn into hurricanes. There were (IIRC) two of these lows after Hanna but before Ike. The factory is normally there, it just doesn’t always ship product.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, the National Hurricane Center has downgraded Hanna to a tropical storm again, but expects it to go back to being a minimal hurricane tomorrow or Thursday.</p>
<p>And now, Tropical Storm Josephine, this from the “tropical wave” mentioned above.</p>
