Re: Tropical depression #1

Yeah, but this has a more attention-getting thread title.

(And I get to change it at will, so when it becomes Tropical Storm Alberto running thread this afternoon it will be even more attention getting. I just hope it doesn't become the Hurricane Alberto has destroyed my house running thread.)

Threadjack: Great user-name edit, _Bat. It ain't easy to find that character on the keyboard.

Also: This is a much better thread title. I'm in the cone, too. I'm rooting for it; we need the rain.

Now that was a hell of a retort.

Nicely done, slappy.

 

Re: Tropical depression #1

So do we. But not the wind.

It appears we'll get some of both. :'(

Hang in there, coffee bean.

 

Re: Tropical depression #1

We won't get what you got, Johnny.

Second advisory (1100 EDT): 21.5N, 85.6W. Moving north-northwest at 12mph with winds at 35 or so. The hurricane hunters will make a flyby this afternoon.

 

Re: Tropical depression #1

2mcm, what JD said. though it's only a depression right now, it's awfully early in the season. Hopefully this isn't a sign of what's to come.
