I just received an email from my alumni association at Vanderbilt University. Chancellor Gordon Gee wrote the following words as part of this address to the Vanderbilt community in response to :
"As an institution, we are committed to helping, and also to enabling the members of our community to help to the extent they are able and needed. Our only option is to respond. No other option exists, or is even possible."
If those words don't sum it all up, I don't know what words can.
- "Our only option is to respond. No other option exists, or is even possible."

Saddest part is people are trying to blame this on someone..There is no one to blame this on. Five days a month time to prepare, opeopel would still be trying to blame this on someone.
how about we all forget trying to blame people and get out of this situation first? Hell even those in NO forgot about help and are going with good old chanting of who to blame...
And we aren't even done yet with this Season from hell 2. The next storm is going to cause panic like we never seen before.

I just checked the model runs on 92L...
WOW
GFDI brings it to a Category 4 in 4-5 days...about the time it's passing south of Cuba.

Right now Frame 1 is 92L, but I don't know how long that will stay.

Check the forecast tracks of 92L in the link you provided; even if it went WNW, it probably wouldn't even be in the Caribbean, or would be just in the eastern Caribbean, in 4-5 days. Definitely not south of Cuba.

yea we are going to have to watch 92L, especially if it goes intot he lesser antilles of the PR/DR/HAITI regina, and the Bahamas(obviously)
and as Brad said its not Cuba your looking at, i think it may be PR or DR

BAMM's seem to show some sharp recurvature.
Other models really run the gamut. I don't think they have too hot of a grasp on the system yet.

The model guidance of 92L sure does paint a scary picture. Hope it is wrong. http://bricker.met.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-...;hour=Animation

This is my big fear - in the next storm nobody will go to a "shelter" instead they will clog the roads with traffic resulting in a whole new set of problems.

TD 14 Looks very far east of Florida to me
i think he's talking about the information block sitting atop florida. -HF

Big Kahuna,
When I look at the 5 day track of TD14, I'm not seeing it over Florida. In fact it doesn't even show it getting very close before it turns towards the North. Am I not seeing something that you are?

Big Kahuna is reffering to the storm information being placed over florida, not the storm itself.

BRM - I pray your right man. On the one hand I keep saying...it's not a "system" yet...the models will do a better job once it is, they're just models, etc. But I HATE the GDFL.,.,.,.,please let this be the beginning of horrible forecasting streak!
Lee-Delray - Big Khauna met the 's INFO box is right on top of Florida...not the storm! LOL..

Just wanted to say about your post...in freeking incredible! Why would we planning officials not have heeded this kind of warning? As a native CA, I guess I can kind of understand this mentality, cause most officials are not prepared for a major earthquake when it comes.
I hope the reports of a possible tropical formation off the east coast of Florida is completely incorrect. To any real mets out there...I know there have been discussions in the past about how much one storm can affect sea tempertures by mixing the different "layers" of water, and thus prevent another storm from brewing up? Since created storm surges of 20+ ft, would that have an impact on current Gulf surface temps? Would enough mixing have occured that it would prevent another Cat 3-5 from forming if that low travels across FL as possibly anticipated? What are the surface temps out there right now?

Here in Maryland I do NOT like that track.
It's showing a 918mb 133kt storm heading toward the east coast in 5 days.

As for SST mixing, it doesn't look like it. While the SSTs have fallen a little in the Gulf, they still are very high: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/sst-pac-loop.html
You can also look at the hourly scans of SSTs, but these are highly effected by cloudcover:

okay, the rundown today.
lee... same as before. sheared, removed convection, drifting north. if the convection redevelops near the center it may intensify. it may also go belly up soon.
14... is a tropical storm, rated a depression. scatterometer overpass missed it, but that little core that shear peeled the convection off of last night is the kind you find with a tropical storm. i'd guess there are 40-50kt unflagged vectors on it. if it redevelops convection near the center.. perhaps it'll get the nudge up. in spite of southeasterly shear the system is maintaining 2.0 and 2.5 t-ratings... sheared systems are usually stronger than their t-ratings would suggest. globals don't show much happening with it.. most weaken it or trough it out.
92L has threat written on it. the system is getting better organized.. holding down 1.5 t-ratings and under decreasing easterly shear. the globals are developing it and the types are making a monster out of it. most track it to the northeastern caribbean or thereabouts in about five days. i'm not a big proponent of the vacillating open trough/major hurricane progs... but early indications are that it may be a hurricane at that time. big ridge settling in off the east coast around that timeframe.. if it isn't hanging on the trough ahead of it, this may become a threat further west.
have said much about the pattern-forced pressure falls that are going to happen ahead of the canadian high coming down into the mid atlantic this weekend. should be disturbed weather and low pressure trying to form along a line roughly from north of the yucatan to near bermuda. models show a variety of features developing within this region... different version of events pretty much everywhere. fairly safe to assume that a system or two will try to develop within this area, around the weekend timeframe. the most common version is a system near bermuda that goes out, with another further west.. roughly centered around florida. it may end up being a frontal or high-shear situation. whether something develops will partially depend on how quickly the trough can split and lift out.... if it lingers a shear zone with struggling activity will likely prevail.
another wave will come off africa this weekend. mediocre model interest. could be a brief subtropical-type cutoff south of the azores as well.
that about does it. it's just september... in a hyper-active year.

Clark has posted a pretty good roundup regarding the new systems. The only one that might be of concern is the wave in the eastern atlantic called "92L", mentioned on the front page. The others are most assuredly fish spinners.
Hopefully nothing will even get close to the gulf in the next few weeks.
