Florence has sustained max winds of 80 mph and may strengthen before passing very close to Bermuda tomorrow morning. More from the National Hurricane Center.
UPDATE: I want to mention that climatologically, today is the height of hurricane season. Ocean water is warmest on September 10th because it takes time for water to respond to summer’s warmth. Hurricane heavyweight Bill Murray at Birmingham’s ABC 33/40 looks back on this date in tropical history.
I just wonder what the consequenses WOULD be if that trough/front (sorry I don’t know the exact name) WASN’T pushing it north.
Cripes, if you look at that radar image…and if it got to spend time over the warm Gulf Stream…IT’S HUGE!
WHEW!
Ah, Hugo…I lived in Chattanooga when we got some of the rains…and rains…and rains from Hugo once it made landfall. I remember the corporate office from the company I worked for at the time calling our store asking if we were doing okay.
Thanks for posting that, Justin!
Oh, HAPPY GRANDPARENT’S DAY!!
Don’t forget to call or visit your Grandparent’s today if you still have them with you.
Thanks for the reminder! Grandmas in Pennsylvania and Louisiana will be called before the day is done.
