Re: Cristobal... See the East? Take a Hike

the season will be longer than current weather norms...partially because of methane hydrate delays. In an interesting study of their electical input to storms and the intensity and cause/effect relationship, a very astute professor has theorized that the hurricanes are as much an electrical phenomenon as they are warm water induced. All the factors can make for a severe storm. Briefly, he considers normal silt run-off from rivers into the main bodies of water as carriers of methane hydrates, which electrically charge and stimulate the formation and intensity. Because of the damming of the rivers on a global scale, and other factors, the season in his view is "delayed"......one of his proofs is hurricane Mitch, a few years ago...which formed over extensive methane hydrate fields...that typically strengthen in September, October, and even in November....this theory of his is NOT accepted, nor even studied in the "mainstream" scientific circles...but i found it fascinating....

I am quite the novice..but would love further input on this...suffice to say...we could have an extremely active season....despite what some "experts" think...
