And the hits keep coming


Hanna is now catching all of the attention as it prepares to make landfall and foilks along the eastern seaboard prepare for the worst. I’ll brag a little and say that I forecasted Hanna to make landfall in North Carolina over a week ago… a fact that is no longer being disputed by meteorologists nor the computer models.

Hanna will bring a very wet weekend to North Carolina along with the threat of flooding and dangerous surge issues in some places.

The models seem to all be in agreement as to Hanna’s track, but our concern is not just for North Carolina as Hanna’s winds extend far beyond the actual storm and we believe that both South Carolina and North Carolina will suffer, followed by a track that I believe will take Hanna to New York and then Maine.

Experts say that Hanna will probably be a category One, but I am leaning toward a stronger storm so I guess we will see soon… I have been right so far!


Floridians need to pay attention to Ike right now; a dangerous Cat 4 out in the water. I believe we are looking at a hit on south Florida at the time, but will continue to track him ad he approaches. Expect a Cat 5 not easily hindered by islands that stand in his way.


The models are also showing Josephine dissipating out there in the water due to shear, but I am thinking she does not want to be left out of the party and will hold together just for show.


The C4L Tracking Center is buzzing with the sounds of television monitors, Louisiana Emergency management radio, Ham radios and of course, the volunteers that ssist us in maintainng our center.


We will keep you posted.
