Bearing in mind that these two phases:28th Aug 10:35 and 4th Sept

a classic wet one for the UK, it might be an idea for disaster
watchers to keep on station for the next week or so.

I imagine that another strong hurricane will strike the Caribbean
somewhere near Eluthera, Bahamas and Florida perhaps? Not that I am
much good at predicting where or even what. It could be a cyclone in
the Bay of Bengal or a major quake anywhere.

If I were a miner I'd take an holiday though. Somewhere quite far from
Jamaica. Somewhere that I wouldn't have to go by plane would be good.

Looks like things are safe for now:

Tropical Weather Outlook NWS TCP/National Hurricane Center Miami Fl
1030 pm edt Mon Sep 10 2007 for the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and
the Gulf of Mexico...

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Depression Gabrielle...located about 230 miles south-southeast of
Nantucket Massachusetts.

A broad area of low pressure...associated with a tropical wave...is
located about 1300 miles east of the Windward Islands and is
accompanied by a large area of showers and thunderstorms. This system
continues to show some signs of organization...and it could develop
into a tropical depression within a day or two as it moves westward to
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.

Although cloudiness and showers associated with a tropical wave have
diminished this evening over the extreme Caribbean Sea... Disorganized
showers and thunderstorms persist just north of the Leeward Islands.
Significant development of this system is not anticipated as it moves
west-northwestward at about 15 mph.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure
over the western Gulf of Mexico remain disorganized. However...some
development of this system is still possible until it moves over land
within the next day or so.

Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next
48 hours. $$ forecaster Roberts/Pasch"

But we had an unusual spat of very windy weather yesterday. Unusual
for Stoke that is. It is seldom breezy here never mind windy. No idea
if that holds any significance. It's too rare a phenomenon. (It is
associated with a change of lunar phases though.)

This morning however, totally different weather is the more common
mist. Nothing on the box about it that I heard but there was a mention
that 'cloud at first will clear up to a sunny interval later.'

Just a reminder that mists, according to the Weatherlawyer, fortell
hurricanes. Perhaps not in the North Atlantic then?
But I think: "Maybe."
