Miss K, I have never admired your eloquence more than I do today. :clap:

[jodiFL]

OH yea that s the one that the "trusty" Weather Channel told us yesterday would be turning north and would be no threat to land, right?:bang:

[seagrovegirl]

According to the projection models, it will eventually turn south. Not too worried about this one, yet!

They were too busy having a news coverage "O" about the possibility of a hurricane hitting New Orleans to bother with things like weather forecasting. :roll:

and they could possibly have a "nor'easter" in Miami next week.....:blink:

As of the last day or two the Bermuda High was helping us greatly by sitting pretty much on top of Florida. Let's hope it stays there, as it appears it might.

[Miss Kitty]

Think and focus on two words...

HIGH PRESSURE
in the "right" place.

I likey! (Not if they hurt anyone in Florida, of course.) If they meet in the middle of North Georgia, we could finish filling the lake.

One of my co-workers said the other day that now is the time for us to rise up and take over the dam, since Florida probably doesn't want our water right now. :biggrin:

That was two storms merging with a front. Two down, one to go...

I've always liked the name, "Hannah," but this this the first time I've ever seen it spelled, "Hanna." What origin is this spelling?

[Smiling JOe]

Thanks, but that still doesn't tell us the orgin. TS Fay is also short an "e." With names like Ivan, Katrina, and Gustav, for these storms, I was just curious as to the origin of the names for the storms.

[jodiFL]

Hanna's origin is Hebrew, and its use, German
Ivan is Hebrew, Katrina is German, and Gustav is Swedish. And since we ARE the melting pot it seems only fit that we include other non-anglo traditional names.
Try this link ....

[sowalgayboi]

:blush: Apparently at 3am I got two different links confused, one had the origin and then I copied the wrong one.

I would bet that Fay is just a variant like Hanna and the NHC just has this, no mention of how they pick the names.


Since 1953, Atlantic tropical storms have been named from lists made by the National Hurricane Center.

According to the National Hurricane Center, the use of short, distinctive names in both written and spoken communication is quicker and less subject to error than the older latitude-longitude identification methods.

The original lists were composed entirely of female names. In 1979, male names were introduced and now alternate with female names alphabetically.

The six lists of names are used in rotation, so the list used in 2008 will again be used in 2014. The lists are maintained and updated by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization.

The only situation in which the list is changed is if a storm is so costly or deadly that using that name for a future storm would be inappropriate for reasons of sensitivity. In such a case, the WMO committee will strike the name from their lists at their annual meeting and replace it with another name.

2005, in particular, was a rough year for tropical storms, with five names being retired, including Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma.

Since 1953, 67 names have been stricken from the lists. Several names have also been changed since the lists were made. For example, in 2004, Gaston replaced Georges and Matthew replaced Mitch.

The lists contain 21 names each year. Should more than 21 tropical storms occur in a season, additional storms will take names from the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc. 2005 marked the first time in over 60 years of regularly-named Atlantic storms that all 21 regular names were used and the Greek system had to be employed. Tropical Storm Zeta was sixth Greek-named storm of the year and brought 2005’s final tally to a record 27 tropical storms.

[Miss Kitty]

I wish Hanna had the silent h at the end. She is scaring the ****out of me.

[BeachSiO2]

From the latest projections, it looks like Hanna will be ok as long as you don't reside in the South Carolina low country next weekend. :yikes:

Once again, it's very early and she's as indecisive as Fay, but with the rivers and marshes over here, the topography is very similar to LA and MS.

I just saw this projection and know it is now time to focus our attention on you and yours! :(

These hypochondriacs need pictures!!!!:yikes: 9988

Not quite yet since I have family in Alexandria, LA, but Hannah should be interesting. As of the latest guesstimate, I will be preparing for sustained winds of 70mph and 80 mph gusts for landfall on Friday.

Good thing Allifunn is in the safety of Sowal. Are there any other SC Sowallers out there?

[Cil]

We could be feeling Hannah in my neck of the woods.

Yes, you definitely could.

[Ocean Lover]

Yeah, palindromes are cool. That one seems more like a last name. Either way I hope she turns north. way north.

[sowalgayboi]

Beachsand have you tested your generator?

Beachsand have you tested your generator?

:wave: Thanks for asking. I ran it a couple of weeks ago and she is ready. So is my window air conditioner unit. :biggrin:

Good, I think folks forget that they have to be maintained. Once the power goes out you don't want to be oiling and adjusting.

[BeachSiO2]

She just won't go away! :nono1: :pissed::angry::bang:

can i come stay with you and chase the storm ?

[BeachSiO2]

I am waiting for the latest, but it was still saying within 30 miles of us earlier.

[Miss Kitty]

I am waiting for the latest, but it was still saying within 30 miles of us earlier.

Will you leave?

[BeachSiO2]

can i come stay with you and chase the storm ?

Unfortunately, I am the local evacuation point and am booked up with 2 dogs, and about 10 people since I will have all the amenities, but I promise to do a good job and document the damages.

[BeachSiO2]

Will you leave?

It depends. I'll stay through a Cat 2 direct hit. If it gets to a 3 I will likely leave.

[Miss Kitty]

What's the latest, BeachSiO2?

[jdarg]

What's the latest, BeachSiO2?

What's the story, morning glory?

[BeachSiO2]

NC/SC border so I will be dealing with TD winds in the 25+mph range for about 12 hours. Let's hope that doesn't change. Thanks for checking MK and JDarg.

You never told me how nerve wracking hirrican season can be!:blink:

No, but I did tell you that I would let you know whether or not you should worry, and so far all I have said is that making reservations is not a bad thing.. ;-) :biggrin:

Don't reside there but do have property at Hilton Head Island so I want this one to go out to sea and stay.

[sowalgayboi]

As of 11pm she's gonna make a roaring trek up the east cost. :eek::blink:

:wave:

Turn baby turn. My latest guesstimate looks like SWGB's track so we shall see what today holds. If it is correct, I will only have 25-30mph sustained and 40-45 gusts. I am still going ahead and filling up a gas can or two as they haven't had a hurricane affect this area in a while so I don't want to be without power.

[sowalgayboi]

Well I somehow imbedded an updatable map. :idontno: Looks like you guys are possibly just gonna get missed altogether if it keeps moving East. Even if you do, she won't be sticking around long. Nothing like a tropical system that just drops in.

[BeachSiO2]

Will she come or will she go...

Off to get a little petrol for the generator just in case. It should start blowing here in about 3 or 4 hours.

I am hoping that the lack of an "h" at the end of her name takes some bite out of her. Please keep us posted. I am a mother, I worry. ;-)

And I appreciate that you worry. :wub:

I will definitely keep you posted. The good news is that all my issues should be over before bedtime. One thing though is that I have a conference call scheduled between 6 and 7 tonight so that could get interesting. :blink:

[BeachSiO2]

Rainy, a little windy, but overall uneventful. Thank you little 8lb 6 oz baby Jesus, and thanks to everyone who asked about me or said a little prayer. It worked and now I am going to bed. :biggrin:

I will be on the Ike thread in the morning. Sweet dreams everybody!

[Mango]

This is good news, Sio. I hope the tides, which were supposed to be low when Hanna moved in, helped keep some erosion off the the beaches. I was on the Jersey shore this morning and came home earlier, but not without taking in an early morning surf. OK, bodyboard in water knee deep because it was low tide. :biggrin:

Hanna is expected to be here in New York full blown tonight. It's raining heavy now, no winds.

So, is everything ok there?

Yes, no winds, just lots of even rain. Great for the lawn. Beautiful day today in the hood. A great day for a mow. :cool: Thanks for asking.

Glad to hear everyone is ok..how's the surf mango???;-)
