I don't watch the weather channel or anything, so excuse me if this has covered adnauseum. It's drizzling here so I took a peak at the forecast and was shocked that I hadn't heard a whisper about this storm anywhere.

MARINERS' ALERT!

Somebody check the buoys....

KATE is definitely projected to be hurricane strength very soon and perhaps through Thursday afternoon. Let's hope she stays out to sea.

I spread the word here @ GLP days ago: Thread: Tropical Developent off FL/Bahamas @ 50% 5-Day Chance

Hurricane season lasts until November 30th (officially).

Hurricane LARRY is next up after KATE.

Hurricane Erin - 11 Sep 2001...

That one didn't get much press either... in nearly the same spot.

Thank you, I couldn't recall the name.

I was a bit surprised 'cause usually there's a few days or a week of hyped-up stories about large storms. Hell, Crispy Christie declared an official state of emergency in Sept. for Joachin which never hit the coast. I've heard absolutely zilch about Katey.

I'm not sure many people are aware of how the Hurricanes create the conditions necessary for the Hutchison Effect as outlined by Dr Judy Wood.

She doesn't do a very good job. That's why I don't think you are getting much of a response.

Also, I believe that a strong case has been made for visual effects on 9/11.

Planes did not hit those towers.

Therefore, I wonder how much of that devastation we were shown on TV was a actually a staged set?
