I'm pondering this note that hurricanes may be increasing in strength and water content more rapidly than previously, and that may be accurate.  The "ACE" measure of hurricanes is not showing much of a trend overall.  If the waters in the Gulf are warmer than "normal", this could be a problem even if hurricane frequency doesn't increase (much).  I saw some data that they are moving more slowly than before, but the recent one was a fast mover.

I still think this stuff is too complex for our "models".  But there could well be new problems.

Experts (hmmm) were calling for 25-27 named storms this season. UPenn predicted 33.

We're at 11, and past the peak. I'm thinking we'll see 5-6 more before we're done, but nothing "major" for the US.

I'm not an expert.

Let's see how this ages.

I recall after the year of Katrina they all panicked and readjusted their models to pretty much double the number going forward each year, and then that didn't happen.  

95° in Lincoln??? Da Fuq

I'm not moving to Europe

I might someday.  Somewhere along the Italian Riviera, or maybe the south of France.

Yeah that's what I was thinking.  Same high temp in Austin today.

It is very rare for a hurricane/TS to hit Europe, they don't generally go NW.  I don't know why this one is predicted to do so.  They have storms of course, some of which are pretty serious, but they come from their NE.  We hit two on our cruise around England last year, one was stated to have 85+ knot winds.  That 100,000 ton cruise liner was bounding around a lot.  The wood trim in our cabin was really making noise.  We had two stops deleted because we couldn't get to land safely.

Nothing but fun.
