Welcome to the Central Florida Hurricane Center 2005, the site has had a facelift for this year, but not all features of the new site are active yet.
2004 was an amazing tracking year, and also an unforgettable year for Florida, with 4 storms affecting it, two crossing nearly the same point on landfall. This past sunday, a huge earthquake and Tsunami hit the Indian Ocean making even the ocean front damage here seem pale in comparison. Our hopes and prayers to all survivors there, and to those who lost friends and loved ones.
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.
Thanks all, and thank Christine Hahn for helping me put the new layout together.
There will be more to come this year!

...even better. the new layout is mighty nice.
on this first day of 2005, it's mild in the eastern u.s., with a deep layer hybrid low forming east and southeast of bermuda. not much of a development threat in january, of course.
again, this is an attractive upgrade to the site layout.

It is pretty cool! Yeah, very warm today but with this boundary setting up, somebody is going to get 2 inches of ice.

Love the face lift. I thought I was on a different site at first...:) Anyhow, all this talk about tidal waves, does anyone here remember the rogue wave that hit Daytona Beach, July 3, 1992? Just out of curiosity, I have wanted to do some reading on this strange event and have not found a lot of info on the internet. Locals who lived here say they remember but haven't said that anyone knows what originally caused this large wave? If you have any info, please send it my way. Happy New Year!!!

I beileve the waves form in two regions of the earth, where the global currents meet and they are totally random. But other then that, I know nothing more.

careful then coop, don't want to offend the adolescents. they're very sensitive people, after all.
nah, the bad language is out of context and all, but phil's just being an artist in his own... medium. with me it's the obligatory redneck lingo, same difference (more family friendly though). good thing we don't have a storm or anything, else someone responsible like the good mr. dunham would surgically remove all this idle january banter.
speakinowhich, isn't it our long island mod's birthday? yup, for a while more. happy frickin' birthday, phil.
