So the clean-up begins.
Both the USA and Britain were hit with flooding in the last group of
spells. The fist week was the worst for Britain but a train of
hurricanes caused one problem after another in the Gulf of Mexico.

The half of an island called Haiti was devastated but who cares about
them? We don't even know what went on in the half called San Salvador.

Over in the USA there looks like fine weather spreading east from the
Rockies:

Not only were there no tornadoes reported recently, yesterday there
were no anythings reported:

Over the North Atlantic, there are two High Pressure Systems being
kept apart as if by magic. I'd like a schema form the bods in the back
room explaining the role of Coriolis' effect on that.

Ike is an elongation off Newfoundland rocketing towards Greenland/
Iceland. Over Greenland the high pressure is some 1004/1009 mb not
greatly dissimilar to Ike which is 989 mb at its core.

The Azores High and the Scandinavian High are elongating toward each
other, manfully separated by a low of 1021. (Britain at its best.)
