Re: African Dust - good/bad?

A really good example is Hurricane Irene in 2005, that storm was struggling from TS force to Deppression, If I can remember I believe the meteorologist said it was all due to the dust. There was alot of dust coverage in 2005. Irene finally pulled itself together and almost impacted the Northeast but took a sharp turn near Bermuda instead. Shear was also its problem during that time.
