My wife is in Orlando for my girls' dance competition. The bartender at the hotel told her there was a hurricane coming. My wife googles it and finds a graphic showing a hurricane heading right to us.

The graphic was from 2022.

God do I hate hurricane season.

Remember when they used to hit NC all the time? I think it is their turn again.

That's pretty bad juju to wish a hurricane on someone, shit like that tends to backfire.

BMills, July hurricanes always get made-up names, you didn't know that?

I musta forgot. Those regular Janes and Joes in Irma and Matthew were the last to really affect us so I could totally see a Beryl just flying under the radar.

Geez, Jamaica's in the shit.

[skaredshtles]

Geez, Jamaica's in the shit.

Yeah, not wishing them on anyone, but 20 years of them pretty much ending up pinballing around in the Gulf is getting old.
There was a good 10 -12 year stretch when they were hitting more East Coast.
Just more wondering out loud when the trend changes back.

Obviously we will hope for wimpy TS's and no landfall on HH or MA.

Hurricanes search for and then follow the warm water so as the Gulf Stream fluctuates and cools the storms don't turn north early enough. Hurricanes are essentially heat pumps drawing heat out of the tropics and dumping it into cooler areas but they need the energy from warm water to do it. AMOC isn't necessarily shutting down (yet) but more warmth has been building to the west the last few years, the water off the New England and Long Island coast is downright cold so far this year.

Yeah, and so you guys get more seals and Great Whites.
Not sure which is better.

One thing is for sure, I'll take either one over a Tornado any day.

As bad as Hurricanes suck, we get plenty of warning. Your life is only at risk if you decide to risk it. Property can always be replaced.
Tornadoes don't give you any choice.

As a born and raised New Englander Im leery of tornadoes. Like you say with a hurricane you have plenty of warning. I was drilling in Oklahoma a few years ago and a few tornadoes came ripping through the area. They are pretty scary. Before I left NH we used to cruise 1A and drink beer and watch the hurricanes come ashore.
