Oh I can see your point and it was certainly nothing more than some profound thinking at that very moment. Certainly solving many of mankind’s ills, wars etc is not within the scope of those thoughts. They were common sense and simple thoughts for complex happenings. If nothing else the roundtable's, seminar's, symposium's; chatter and conversations that have taken place and will continue to, including on this site is already astonishing. Thanks for bringing me back and really simplifying

Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.

I found the google map feature to be very interesting.
What is that you can see for Andrew? Were there mobile homes there before the storm, or houses? Because there are houses to the N & S...I wasn't sure. Kind of creepy - entire subdivisions that were never rebuilt, just sitting there like a reminder.
What I noticed that was so werid when zooming in on the map for Camille was I-10. It didn't exist when Camille hit.

Margie, there were a lot of homes there before Andrew. For those who haven't seen it, if you zoom in to the finest setting on the satellite view and follow the track about 5 miles inland, you will see a bunch of roads with nothing along them; these are the subdivisions that Andrew completely leveled. Areas a bit further away likely have some of the same patterns, but many of them have rebuilt -- especially as you move north and further inland. It's still a spooky sight to behold.

Though Emily may be more organized tonight, the low latitude may not fare well for her once she nears and passes close to Trinidad & Tobago as she'll be sucking in dry air from the S American continent. We'll just have to wait and see if she can gain any latitude to have a good chance at strengthening into a hurricane.
99L (future TD # 6, Franklin) looking like it is beginning to develop rather rapidly and should be TD # 6 sometime tomorrow. I don't necessarily agree that this has" fish" written on it yet, though it is at a rather high latitude for a developing system that far east, I just don't see the high weakening enough to allow a recurvature at this point, but only time will tell.

You have Emily, a wave at 8N 42W, a wave at 15N 31W and a blob the size of Louisiana coming off of Africa. Going to be an interesting week. Of course the wave coming off Africa isn't likely to hold up, but you never know in a couple of days.

Clark or ANYONE: How good are the models at predicting 4-5 days out troughs and their strength. Obvoiusly, this would pull Emily North. The cone of error 5 days out looks for the most part relatively west. Just judging by the cone it seems to an amateur that they (NHC) don't see anything strong enough to pick Emily up such as a Florida hit west to NO. Things change day by day, I know, today southward. Main question though is regarding the reliability of whatever predicts what might pick up Emily north. And is it only troughs? What else can have an influence besides the weakening of the Bermuda H.
What are/is everyone's thoughts on this?

Well I'm no one. But I did stay at Holiday Inn last night. 
Just kidding...stress breaker there!
I looked back at 's 5 day track for .
I was very surprised to find that on Wednesday, July 6th, at 4:30 AM EDT, (that's almost 107 hours of track), posted a track map with ' track to nearly the precise point of landfall.
The only variations in the 'skinny black line' were where went over Northern Cuba. He was a bit East of the forecast track.
Florida landfall point was well within 50 miles, it appeared.
I seem to recall Londovir posting something to this effect right after ' Landfall.
If they have this much 'luck' with the models for the rest of the season. This year will write many records. Not just with the storms but with 's forecast error verification.
