This page has quite a bit of information:
Daytona Rogue Wave
Yes....In fact, had this been a bit larger, AKA 65 million years ago, we may have witnessed a modern version of mass extinction....of US.
Happy New Year to all of my friends here on the site. May we have an 'interesting' year, not another 'terrifying' year like the last one. Tracking is fun! Evacuation and fleeing is not! Here's to tracking.

If you want something to track you might want to take a gander at the South Pacific. Looks like something is forming there. Hopefully it won't have too many bad effects.

I'm sure most poeple are still peeking from time to time... but if the shear relaxes I wonder if it'd have a chance to turn into something
though the discussion says it's cold core... (not suprising)
and I think the odds are... slim to none 
(and the SST's are about 23 Centigrade)
oh well. just something to look at and go, nope ain't gonna happen

Hey Everyone
Haven't posted in a while, but hope everyones new year is off to a good start. I thought i'd drop in a post containing a new link for us all to use during the 2005 Season with reference to .
MJO Analysis
Also whilst browsing I came upon a DVD called "The Hurricanes of 2004" from Hurricane Track. Link and Preview Here
If anyone knows of any other DVD's or books from Discovery, National Geographic or TLC regarding the 2004 Season, please let me know. Good job admin team on the new design.
Thats all for now, be back when I find more interesting links.

I'm hoping 2005 will be an average year or less, no landfalls if I can help it. But we'll be ready in case the trend that Dr. William Gray refers to, the trend of more landfalling systems, does not occur. Florida could do without another storm for a good long while.
To be perfectly honest, I want to get hit. As selfish as this sounds, nothing gives me more excitment than a powerfull storm to track, prepare for, and then survive. I do, however, have a problem with the death that these storms inevitably cause. My conflicting feelings on this trouble me greatly.
Does anyone deal with this as well?

I have tossed and turned on a reply or just pulling that one off... I will let it stay for now but another may think different. Some ideas and feelings, however (my opinion), should be kept to yourself. The past events were major and not what the country ever saw coming.

Hey Coop, I couldn't have said it better. I got the twitch in my finger after the first sentence. Guess I've been hanging around you guys too long.
For the Record. A lot of people lost loved ones, homes, jobs and suffered a tremendous amount of mental and physical stress. I am sure that ALL of them could care less to ever hear another Watch or Warning of ANY TYPE. Posts like that generally don't survive more than 10 minutes. ( I'll be surprised to see it last a week! )

Another mod in agreement with Al & Danny...with all the death and destruction in 2004 (TSFH), and now the California mudslides and general southwest flooding...and the Sierra Mts. have received 14 FEET of snow...I will not hesitate to drop the hammer when it comes to people wishcasting a storm to come to them. I'm leaving it up as a warning to anyone else who wants to get a storm. Go play on other weather boards if that's your true heart's desire.
Unless you live alone on a deserted Island, you have to remember that what hits you hits others...and after this season, I seriously doubt anyone is looking for any more action.
You want to get hit, go buy a rowboat and go out into a fishspinner off the coast.
Off rant now. Ed, feel free to nuke the post and replies should you so choose.

I see that I touched a nerve. Appologies. I figured that since I have seen first hand the death and destruction that these things can cause, I could speak this way with atleast a thread of legitimacy. Perhapes not. As I said, this whole issue has troubled me greatly. One one hand, my greatest passions (weather and film) are combined so greatly during such an event that it is overwhelming. On the other, I have to deal with the tragety that is the aftermath of a major hurricane. However, despite all of the terrible crap in my life, I always look back at that one moment ---THE moment. I dont know ---as I said, this has troubled me greatly. I just wanted some councle on the matter. Again, I am sorry for an discomfort I have caused.

No worries and welcome to the site. That kind of post is fine on some other sites, like HCW, where nothing gets edited and it's more of a chatroom than a real information source like .

These posts should be welcome outside the hurricane season, but should be in the "Everything and Nothing" forum. However, since it's here, my thoughts are below.

The duality of man leads us to seek out thrills from what appears to be and often is deadly, frightening or gruesome. This is true of storms of all types, images of atrocities, man made and natural events that you just can’t help but take a peak at or feel some sort of guilty satisfaction in seeking out or looking at. We’re curious.
Your interest level is normal and the fact that you are conflicted is a sign of a healthy, balanced mind. How can these overly powerful storms that are absolutely beautiful when imaged from space be so damn destructive and ruin so many lives? Who wouldn’t want to see one first hand? I saw 3 in 6 weeks and was stunned, impressed, frightened, elated and thankful all at once. Talk about conflict.
Thanks for visiting and sharing your thoughts.

Great view you have placed on this subject Skeet. Can't really disagree with what you have said at all. I guess I look at things as to how the "general public" would see them and then best how to protect them.... can't shake the "protect & serve" thing... just a part of me. Well I have gone off topic myself so we all are even now

There is a certain...large amount of curiosity in Humans. Sometimes it's a great thing and sometimes it gets us in trouble.
Other times our occupations influence/ compound our curiosity for more information. Once we get to a higher level, we still seek more data. Like the Robot in the movie "Short Circuit". He had a appetite for more data, so do we.
I admit to 'watching' for storms in years past...Pre-Andrew. After I saw the devastation that Andrew caused in Florida and Louisiana, I lost the urge to wake up every few hours and check the updates.
Let's all hope that we don't have to learn any more hard lessons in the years and seasons to come. The mental and physical stresses of "The Season from Hell" tm LIPhil , will be around for a long time.

jeffery... i feel the same way to a degree. just try and keep things in perspective, and not let the thrill of seeing and experiencing danger turn in to gawking at human tragedy. it's hard not to be fascinated by extremes in the world, whether man-made or natural.... it's fascinating to watch precision bombing footage, for instance.. probably not very fun to be precison bombed, though. keep in mind: rooting for a hurricane to come break some stuff isn't far removed from cheering at a snuff film.

I wanted to add went to Birmingham over Thanksgiving took 65N.The damage from could be seen a good 100 miles N on 65.The trees that where down and damage to some of the farms hard to imagine that far N.Then you think about the size of and you understand.
