News of the Warm

Never seen double storms like this before. And at least one of them ramped up in a hurry.


Veronica underwent a phenomenal period of rapid intensification on Wednesday, taking advantage of low wind shear and very warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs) near 30°C (86°F)—up to 1°C above average for this time of year. Veronica intensified from a tropical storm with 65 mph winds at 6Z March 20 into a Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds just 18 hours later—an 80 mph increase in winds.

Damn sure did not like seeing this story. I hope the building inspector has to answer for this. {If that poor ass county has one} 19 of 23 deaths in trailers that were not tied down right.

I heard about this one night last week on the BBC. Pretty large area affected by the floods.

I'm just running as fast as I can, ever other day. Then spend a day getting over it. How is things with you? Haven't seen you around in a while.

Good to hear.

I had been hearing this was in the works for months. Great news in that it will kick up the percent the federal government chips in. I saw where debris removal in Mexico Beach was equal to twenty years of their annual budget. Those guys are going to need a hand.

That was a crazy hurricane, for sure. Since it's Florida, the Feds will make sure to splash out plenty of cash.

Meanwhile, Puerto Rico...

Actually. . . . . . .

The recovery money is tied up in Congress because it was lumped in with the PR money. In the mean time all the counties and towns are racking up debt and shitting bricks.

Pretty normal winter here; normal snow in the mountains, below average here on the plains.

Several major trails are impacted by the heavy snowfall this spring. Rain too for that matter. The desert section of the PCT is green for God's sake.

It snowed on the plains yesterday, about 4". More in the mountains. Chilly and cloudy today, should be warming up soon. Typical May weather for front strange Colorado!

Sister is flying back to Denver next week. She will be chillin. Today we are at 88/62F, with tons of sun, but last week the lows were in the 50's.

It's been a rough Typhoon season already. Looks like it's getting worse.

Indeed.

Mozambique especially has had a tough go of it this season.
