Tropical Depression Number 24
Feb 8th
Tropical Depression Number 24 is growing in the Caribbean with winds over 33 miles per hour and looks as if it will soon break the threshold to become a Tropical Storm. Normally Tropical Storms in October are not all that uncommon in the Tropics, but there is significance in this Tropical Depression Number 24; when it becomes a Tropical Storm. This Tropical Storm will tie the 2005 Hurricane Season with the all time high as the most number of named storms in the history of the recording storms.
Tropical Depression Number 24 is growing and it is already 60 miles wide and could move in any direction. It will deliver more rain to Kingston, Jamaica. Nicaragua and Honduras will also get rain. When Tropical Depression 24, makes Tropical Storm Status, she will be named Wilma and if she moves North, becomes a Hurricane she might wipe out your offshore bank accounts in the Grand Cayman Islands. If Wilma goes West or North West she will further flood already flooded regions of Central America and that could spell even more problems to the area, just barely done burying the dead from the remnants and flooding from Hurricane Stan. This Hurricane season has hit Central America hard and has killed about the same number of people there that Hurricane Katrina did in the United States
Tropical Depression Number 24 looks as if she will become Wilma and although it is too early to tell, Welma could grow up to a full-fledged Hurricane and if she gets into the warm Gulf Waters, God help us all. Think on this.
Hurricane Beta Remnants Run Off Wreak Havoc
Jan 23rd
Hurricane Beta slammed into the Nicaraguan coastline as a Category III Hurricane. It made this 2005 Hurricane Season the most full-fledged Hurricanes on record. As if we had not set enough Western World Weather Records this month as we wait for Greek Alphabet Hurricanes Gamma and Delta?
It was to be expected and the massive flooding is already washing away villages and adding up casualties. The death toll is not known yet, but expected to be high. Perhaps not as high as Hurricane Mitch seven years ago which landed in Nicaragua and killed 11,000, but still high enough to make it one of the worst storms to ever hit the Caribbean Central American Coastline.
Luckily many people were evacuated early thanks to the Hurricane Warning knowledge gathered by Mexican Weather Center and the United States NOAA. Many life-threatening mudslides did occur as well as torrential rains causing many flash floods, which swept away people and homes.
Many are still worried that since Hurricane Season is still got four weeks left that we will dive even further into the Greek Alphabet, some have even gone so far as to ask the question, what happens if we run out of Greek Names too? Think on it.
