There's an invest off of the west coast of Africa...

near the Cape Verdes. Hurricane Hunters haven't been out to it yet. From what I've read on some forums, it's got some pretty strong convection and it's already tropical depression strength, but the circulation hasn't closed yet.

It'll be one to watch for a couple of days, though.

1. Speaking of hurricanes....

has anyone heard from merh lately?

I really need to give that woman a call.

Now I'll abstain from talking to myself.

:silly:

9. I haven't

but I have wondered where she is as well. :hi:

[Maddy McCall]

11. That settles it.

I'm calling her tomorrow to see if she's ok.

:hi:

2. Thanks for the heads up.

Where do you go on the web to watch the latest on these?

I tend to go to Dr. Jeff Master's blog:

3. Hey, Lex.

I go to Jeff Masters' blog, and numerous other places. Let me see if I can find my hurricane links document, and I'll post it here.

5. Thanks.

We have some family property on the coast of NC at Topsail Island, so we are always watching. Plus, practically my whole family is just in the interior of NC (about an hour or so from the coast) so, again, we are always watching.

Thanks for any links you have.

:hug:

4. My list of links.

This is the list of links that I visit whenever the Gulf Coast is being threatened by a hurricane. Also some general links about hurricane predictions and strike probabilities.
