Also, is it just me, or do the hurricanes seem more... tenacious this year, fighting shear, fighting all sorts of negative factors and troopering on? (or maybe the negative influences weren't as negative as they seemed to be at the time...)
I understand there's no school in most of Georgia today. Hopefully, that's not a bad sign...


NHC has quoted the research of experts showing that the steering currents and other variables are quite favorable for tropical storm development this year, and conditions which take them farther west ... which is why everyone has been calling for an above average season. (an understatement?)
It should be pointed out that many schools (incl. Tampa) had already selected today as a holiday since it coincides with Rosh Hashanah. Perhaps the same is true in GA?
