Actually it's NOT depressing. If anything, it looks positive. Ir looks like the SAL will be coming alive, and the warming will slow down, reducing the chances of an active season. Right now, I think things are looking all right, Laura.
I hope so but while the waters are so warm it makes things kind of iffy. Right now we really aren't ready for another hit. Rebuilding after something like Ian takes a lot of time and my house isn't completely done yet. Still in line for the last repairs needed.
Let's hope these repairs can be done, and done right. Even a bad thunderstorm can cause damage. Hurricanes and twisters can cause the most spectacular damage; but you don't always need a hurricane to do it. Well, we have had a couple evenings of strong to severe tunderstorms. More are likely this weekend, but first, we are having another smoke event, with air quality VERY UNHEALTHY and some readings, unofficial ones from these "Purple Air" realtime stations are already over 200 which is VERY UNHEALTHY for everyone, not just the sensitive groups.
Thanks for liking my comment; I appreciate it; I appreciate that you have an interest in weather and the tropics, and you want to stay updated and informed on the happenings with the tropics. Have a good end of the week!!
This house has been through 3 major hurricanes, 2 of which did some damage though Charley did a lot more than Ian which is a bit of a surprise considering how big Ian was and how slow moving while Charley blasted through. Irma did nothing but cost me a solar light. We get lots of thunderstorms with massive amounts of grounded lightning and winds averaging 40+ mph with wind gusts a lot higher. You get used to it here.
I have had some friends of mine in southern Michigan and Ontario, Canada talking about the hazardous air conditions from the Canadian wildfires. One of them had to go out yesterday and pick up some food and medicine for another friend and said it was really bad. She had to wear a mask and goggles as her eyes were getting sore and gritty. Most of the time the air is pretty good down here except near the Gulf or Atlantic coast when we have a red tide, then it can be hazardous. Oops, forgot about when the sargassum floats in and coats the beaches in rotting seaweed. Not good either.
Depressing but I appreciate hearing what is going on. Thanks Mr. Lowry

I appreciate reading about the triggers that change so significantly in weather.
Thanks for the education.
Glad you like Mike's updates, Kathy.
