Hurricane Season 2004
« on: August 9, 2004, 09:38 PM »
Tropical Storm Bonnie is the second storm of the season so far, and appears to potentially be setting up to hit the US by weeks end.

The projected 5 day track puts Bonnie over Camden South Carolina by Friday afternoon. By then she will have become a Tropical Depression once more.

Also, a third Tropical Depression has formed near the Windward Islands.

More information: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT2%2Bshtml/092028.shtml?

And more information on TD3: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT3%2Bshtml/091746.shtml?


So, place your bets, which one will hit the US and which one will be stronger?

Only a special man can reply to his own post... Tropical Storm III is now know as Tropical Storm Charley

Charley is expected to become a Hurricane by mid-week,  and the projected path takes him right into the central gulf by Sunday morning.

Both Charlie and Bonnie look to have the possibility for hitting the US over the next week. And at this time, it appears they will both by Hurricanes by land fall.

I'm worried about the now Category 4 Charley.  I'm from Clearwater/Tampa, have family there, was supposed to go visit them tonight.  My flight was cancelled and 1.9 million people have been told to evacuate.

Insane.

What gets me is that DisneyWorld is still remaining open....

Now who would be at a theme park during a hurricane (Besides the people who already payed a couple of thousand $$$ to be there)?

Incredible, Charley was just a catagory 2 this morning!

Looks like he's going to hit Florida, then us, then North Carolina.


It should be noted he is the first major hurricane since Andrew 12 years ago.

So we're finally getting a lot of pictures of the aftermath.  Pretty devastating.  At least 15 dead.  Hopefully all of our JD'ers (Sharon, Logray, Rob, Andrew) and their friends and families out there made it through safely.  Thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Chime in when you get a chance, and let us know how you are folks!

Tropical Storm Charley's path thankfully took him far from here to Myrtle Beach. All we got was a little rain. Though, he was never supposed to hit the Upstate, yesterday proved that anything is possible.

In further news, Tropical Storm Danielle has formed off of the African Coast and is predictied to become a Hurricane within the next few days.

Also, Tropical Depression Five is anticipated to become Tropical Storm Earl by tommorow morning. Interestingly enough, TD5's path is almost exactley like Charley's predicted path cria Monday...

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/graphics/AT05/refresh/AL0504W5+GIF/141458W5.gif

Not good...

My prediction? Danielle isn't going to be much of a threat for atleast a week and a half and will likely take a turn to the Northwest due to a Ridge in the Atlantic that is set to take up shop next week.

However, Earl has a chance of being the third tropical system to hit the United States. He's likely to become a hurricane by Wendsday or sooner. Where he'll hit, is anyones guess.

The storms and locations hardest hit (US) this year so far go as follows:

Alex: Hurricane, Cat.1, South Carolina/North Carolina
Bonnie: Tropical Storm, Florida/Georiga/South Carolina/North Carolina/Virginia
Charley: Hurricane, Cat.4 (could possibly be upgraded to a 5 after damage is surveyed), Florida/South Carolina/North Carolina
Danielle: Tropical Storm, N/A
TD5/Earl: N/A

Hello everyone from south Ft. Myers, and thanks to all for the concern everything here is finally starting to get back to normal, slowly of course. We just got power back around my part of the neighborhood sunday night around 9 p.m. .
But everything is still kinda hectic around here, one point we had a lack of ice, then fighting through traffic just to find a little gas.


Once again I would like to thank everone for the concern, its gonna be kinda rough for some other communities around here.


P.S.--- By the way instead of Logray yall can call me Claude.
