[Forbes]You Are Not Hallucinating - Hurricane Leslie Is Headed Toward
Spain And Africa Full story: https://www.forbes.com/sites/marshallshepherd/2018/10/12/you-are-not-hallucinating-hurricane-leslie-is-headed-toward-spain-and-africa/#79172a144537 You absolutely read the title correctly, and it is very similar to one that I wrote about Hurricane Ophelia in 2017. Hurricane Leslie is currently headed toward Africa and Europe. The "toward" is the "weather weird" part of the statement because typically tropical systems have their origins in easterly waves that move "away" from the African continent. Leslie is a long-lasting storm that has drunkenly meandered around the Atlantic Ocean since September 23rd. I am writing this on October 12th. It has generated 15 named days according to Colorado State University expert Dr. Philip Klotzbach and certainly has some days left. I should also mention that spent a few days as a post-tropical system, and those are not counted as part of the named record. You can certainly see why Hurricane Leslie has been called the "zombie" storm. What caught my eye is the latest forecast track, and a statement issued by the National Hurricane Center: A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for Madeira Island (north of the Canary Islands) in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean due to #Leslie. Tropical-storm-force winds are expected early Saturday morning. If you look at current satellite imagery of Hurricane Leslie moving eastward (below), Africa and Europe are within view folks. That's weird. ..... more .... -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!
