The Meandering Fay and a Tip from Ferber

2008 Hurricane Watch My hurricane report each Wednesday is essentially a recap of a daily log I keep during hurricane season. The first hint of Fay was reported in my entry Monday August 11th, and that was not much of a clue: ‘Atlantic Basin and Eastern Caribbean shows showers and thunderstorm activity – nothing more.’ The Tuesday entry added a bit of drama: ‘Keep an eye on a system located 600 miles east of the Lesser Antilles – low pressure, cloudy, rain and thunderstorms.’ Last Wednesday’s p… Continue

Gulf Storms 2008 and The Search 1945

2008 Hurricane Watch Since last Wednesday’s post and the demise of Hurricane Dolly the Miami Hurricane Center has focused its attention on an area in the Western Caribbean near Honduras and Nicaragua, which turned out to be nothing. And the Atlantic Basin remained quiet until Sunday morning August 3rd when three systems cropped up in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. However, later in the day things began to sort themselves out as one of the systems developed into a Tropical Depression, and was quic… Continue

Earthquake! Stay Put or Run For Your Life

The first few seconds of a quake you think – what the… Then it dawns. It’s a quake. How big? Stay put or run? If you are inside -- move under a door jam. Outside – get to a clear area. Not under a tree or light pole. Yesterday’s quake that hit the Los Angeles area gave us the longest fifteen to twenty seconds of shock since 1994. I live near the epicenter of the Northridge quake of 1994 and the one yesterday was mild in comparison. Actually the geologist termed yesterday’s quake moderate. Howev… Continue

Hurricane Bertha, Cristobal and Dolly

2008 Hurricane Watch Last Friday the remains of Hurricane Bertha was heading into the cold waters of the North Atlantic to die while the quick hitting Tropical Storm Cristobal was forming in the Atlantic about a hundred miles east of Charleston, S.C. By Sunday morning Cristobal was located 105 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C. carrying maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour. The system remained about a hundred miles at sea moving at about 6 mph parallel to the coastline. It never mad… Continue

Up the Atlantic With Hurricane Bertha

2008 Hurricane Watch Every year stories about the Bermuda Triangle keep cropping up. Early this hurricane season several tales about the triangle surfaced but were obscured by the powerful Hurricane Bertha making its way from the African Coast toward the resort islands of the Caribbean. And while Bertha packed some powerful winds she did a kindness to the resort islands and made a right turn up the Atlantic skirting the southeastern leg of the Bermuda Triangle. Now while that might have subdued… Continue

A Hurricane Called Bertha and Gone With the Wind

2008 Hurricane Watch The strong tropical wave reported last Wednesday July 2nd off the African coast was real enough to cause some alarm. Over the next several days the wave intensified and by July 5th had the strength of a Tropical Storm with sustained winds of 50 mph and was named Bertha. Fortunately the storm was over open water and while she grew her winds were not directed at any land mass. On the 6th the storm became worrisome, not for her wind speed but for direction. Traveling almost due… Continue

Coming Storm and the Lure of Hollywood

2008 Hurricane Watch Present activity in the Atlantic Basin is almost zero, but a look to the west gives a slightly different picture. A strong and organized tropical wave has developed off the coast of Africa and over a period of days, if favorable conditions should prevail, we might see trouble moving toward the Caribbean. However to complete the face of today and yesterday we’ll go back to this same time period during the year of 1945 -- the first season of the Hurricane Hunters. A short exce… Continue

Early Hurricane Hunters and Sarcasm at the Round Table

2008 Hurricane Watch Back to 1945 and a few excerpts from my book, The Hurricane Hunters and Lost in the Bermuda Triangle. Da Plane, Da Plane. Not exactly, we won’t stop at Fantasy Island; our mission is to spot tropical storms. And when we spot one we’ll follow along and take down all the data, then keep an eye on the storm and see what develops. We’ll be flying the Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer. What’s a Privateer? Well, it’s a beefed up B-24 Liberator Bomber with a few modifications, a sing… Continue
