Re: The Hebert Box

Quote:

So, as I understand the nature of the Hebert Box, if a hurricane passes through the Hebert Box (E and SE of PR) then more likely than not, the track would most likely curve towards the southeast US. Is there any other significance associated with the Hebert Box? I beleive that in the short term, Dean is tracking to go through this enigma.

Any feedback on any significance?




There have been only 2 major hurricans to hit South Florida that did not enter the Herbert box.Wilma went through box #2.Andrew did not enter box #1 but it did skirt it.The numbers don't lie,I always look at the Herbert box.Frances and jeanne in 2004 went through box #1.The good news is if a storm does not go through one of the boxes,it will most likely miss south Florida.Now ,it does not have to be a major cane when it goes through the box.
