Got one now, but it's not going anywhere.



Ha, so did they intentionally wait to name it until today, so that August stat could be maintained?

I don't know when it got named, but it sure seemed like the forecasters and media were really hoping to name one ASAP.

A facility described by Danish energy firm Orsted as the "world's biggest offshore wind farm" is now fully operational, with its 165 turbines set to help power in excess of 1.4 million U.K. homes.

Situated roughly 89 kilometers (approximately 55 miles) off the coast of Yorkshire, England, the scale of Hornsea 2 is considerable.

According to Orsted, it has a capacity of more than 1.3 gigawatts and stretches across an area of 462 square kilometers — more than half the size of New York City. Hornsea 2, it added, uses Siemens Gamesa turbines with blades measuring 81 meters, or more than 265 feet.

"One revolution of the wind turbine blades can power an average UK home for 24 hours," the company says.

Nothing is a threat to the Gulf right now. That other one way out there is forecast to head more North too.

We are in the teeth of the season now.

3 weeks eh?

The water stays warmer longer.

Its not just water temp but the air currents which in Oct become much stronger
