The next few months, especially the next 2 1/2 are going to be really long. I am really hoping we don't have another hurricane hit so soon as we haven't recovered from Ian yet. I really hope they all stay out to sea and harm no one but that is an unlikely wish to come true.
As long as the shear remains, El Nino will continue to suppress hurricane activity. That could bode well for the rest of the season. Maybe, Laura, you just may get your wish!!
I hope so. My neighbors two doors down had there house damaged so badly that the insurance company condemned it. They'd only been here a little over 2 years but Ian scared the hell out of them. They decided to head back north permanently, That storm caused a lot of people to think twice about living in Florida but natural disasters are happening everywhere, look at Montpelier Vermont, Hawaii and Europe. I figured I might as well stick here, at least with hurricanes we get plenty of warning.
Also what good would it do to head north and you get something like those floods, probably the worst since Irene. Yes, SOME people may leave Florida, and there's all this HEAT going on and you probably don't go out much in this heat except for groceries and you have to get what you need. Once any tropical entity, even if it's a tropical wave of thunderstorms comes, it will cool things down a bit as a substitute for cool air till the dry season begins.
When I lived in Michigan I thought there were only 2 good months out of the year, May and part of September and October. The rest were either hot and muggy, cold and wet or frigid and wet. Eight months of great weather here with part of June through October hot, muggy at times and the threat of hurricanes. I'll take it.
I'm with you, Laura on THAT one. Sure, we don't have to worry about hurricanes, tornadoes(normally)and we can put up with snow, but some winters it's too much, and too depressing. I would say Florida is worth the risk. We have our nor'easters, you have the hurricanes. Same difference. Some nor'easters have been WORSE than some of the greater East Cost HURRICANES there have been in history. The Blizzard of '93 nor'easter killed roughly 300 people. You don't often see that in U.S. hurricane death tolls TODAY. Maybe in 3rd world countries, where warning systems are not as elaborate as ours is, but not the U.S.
Of course, there are exceptions like Katrina, which killed 1800, but part of that death toll I think was due to poor planning and a post-storm historic flood caused by poor levees at that time. Not the hurricane itself. Evacuations were not planned soon enough to get people out of harm's was before Katrina hit.
Hopefully your area will avoid direct hits and flooding rains or even any outer rain bands from any storms that may befall the state. Yes, there's a "mild fever" but the earth has it , not just the oceans, let alone land masses.
Well, so far, so good. Will we have a 2nd August without a named Atlantic storm? Pacific storm Dora may be a Pacific "fish storm" but it certainly has been noted for its' extended long-distance trip and longevity and may have crossed the date line as a typhoon. It will weaken to a tropical storm anyway. That storm will also be noted for the pressure gradient between high and low that caused the windstorm and subsequent wildfires, killing scores of people om Maui, Hawaii. I believe it is 67 dead now. That of course is a whole different story. Got to be focused on the Atlantic Basin.

The comparison of the ocean temps with a mild fever really hit it home for me 🌡 *powerful*
Great information here - tysm 🌬⚘
