Hurricane Coming to My House: You Are All Invited

Oh, for Pete's sake, now it's my turn :

Really interesting reasons why we've had such an active year:

1. A strong west African monsoon
2. There is little difference in wind speeds near the surface and those roughly 10 miles up.
3. There is a high thermal potential, which means water can rapidly evaporate into the atmosphere
4. It's a neutral El Niņo season.

Bring a snack...and a flashlight!

The longevity and impact of these systems have been remarkable, Nom.

Tie down the roof and fine photography equipment too! Wow -forecasts of 45-60 MPH gusts! At the very least it will make for a very bad hair day .

Take care.

Please don't be offended Sufermom, and I thank you for your kind invitation.
But I can't make it over to you i'm afraid.
But I have very recently had a hernia operation and have been advised not to travel.
Plus my lovely auntie, Slack Alice isn't vewwy well and we need to take good care of her.
Please take great care though, and keep us informed.

Can I please confirm the "45-60 MPH gusts"?

We often get storms over the winter months with gusts over 70 MPH - yet they're still called storms.....NOT hurricanes!

Re: Hurricane Coming to My House: You Are All Invited

Sorry, I cannot make the party....not in time to help.....I have a discount card for flights with Monarch but I seem to be having problems accessing my account.....I'll keep trying.


In the meantime...stay safe or, as some may say "chin up, head down"
