2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season in Five Minutes

[allancaldera]

hurricane Katia now at cat 4

[idontreallyknowno]

Hurricane Irene is currently a strengthening Category 2 hurricane just north of Hispaniola, moving WNW and taking aim at the East coast. Stay tuned.

[dsscam]

For what it's worth, I think, that year, Alpha Beta Gamma defeated Delta Epsilon Zeta in flag football.

[idontreallyknowno]

I wonder if this year will feature about 18 named storms...the SST's aren't as high as last year considering it's a second-year La Nina or cool neutral ENSO year, but they're still well above average, and the Gulf is well above last year's pace AND 2005 for SST's and TCHP. Any prediction for anything less than what we had in 2008 is foolish as the SST's are much warmer than what we saw during the 2008 hurricane season, a formidable one that featured two costly U.S. hits.

[cookie1749]

yeah but they both had t names

[idontreallyknowno]

On December 8, 2010, CSU issued its first extended-range forecast for the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season, and as per the usual the prediction is for well above-average activity with 17 named storms, nine hurricanes, and five major hurricanes forecasted.

[agearmaster1]

@idontreallyknowno CSU just issue a new forecast now with 16 named storms nine hurracanes and 6 major but saying that this year more storms could hit the US and carribean islands :(

[idontreallyknowno]

Final tally: 19/12/5

US landfalls: 0

Season: FAIL

[allancaldera]

2010 is not an epic fail even it is an hyperactive season for me was a good season and maybe we can see Virginie or even Walter

[idontreallyknowno]

Tomas fails to become a major hurricane, even fails to hit Haiti or any other landmass, splitting the narrow Antilles/Cuba gap. 2010 is an epic fail of a hurricane season.

[allancaldera]

nop i live in Honduras we were affect from matthew,paula and richard

[idontreallyknowno]

You must live in Belize?

Hurricanes Shary and Tomas form, extending the quietest active hurricane season ever. Shary's life is almost over as it portends to become extratropical. Tomas may develop further into a major hurricane, but expect a trough to push it well east of the United States or even the Yucatan or Cuba. There's a decent shot at Tomas hitting Haiti and vaulting off to the northeast after that, missing the US by a long shot.

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Storm Richard another bust as it veers south and west into Central America. Boh-ring.

Bonnie didn't even make landfall in the US lol, ex-Bonnie did though. Bonnie was so pathetic and disorganized it died in the Gulf before even making landfall on the gulf coast.

[allancaldera]

@idontreallyknowno for my country it really have been a bad year do you think that another 2 tropical cyclones can form?

[idontreallyknowno]

Enigma - Return to Innocence.

Every year, oh...every year.

TD 19 has developed in the Caribbean, expect this to become another Paula, a storm confined to the Caribbean that has virtually no shot of impacting the United States. 2010 is/was sure a bust for the US.

[allancaldera]

@idontreallyknowno dont say that it is very early because some forecast models take the depression to florida only bonnie have make landfall in the u.s.a this season yeah?

[allancaldera]

what is the name of this song i cant stop hearing it please someone tell me

[idontreallyknowno]

An average season...using the +AMO (1995-2009, most appropriate) comparison scale, has 14.5 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.

Thus, the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season is above-average...though not hyperactive as seasons such as 1933, 1995 and 2005.

Even the destructive 2004 hurricane season had 6 major hurricanes - Alex, Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, and Karl - all but the latter impactful - compared to this year's 5 majors, all but one fish storms and none US storms.

[cookie1749]

@idontreallyknowno uh it was just as active as 1995 they both had hurricanes with names starting with "T"

[idontreallyknowno]

@cookie1749

2010 was very similar to 1995 both in terms of activity and in terms of track. The difference is, at least 2 hurricanes, including 1 major hurricane, directly impacted the U.S. coast, unlike the 2010 season, which saw 0 hurricanes and 0 formidable storms impact us.

[allancaldera]

@idontreallyknowno And what is the problem with that

[idontreallyknowno]

The hurricane season is pretty much over now. In terms of activity...it's been a modestly above average hurricane season in the Atlantic. 16 tropical storms...9 hurricanes...and 5 major hurricanes.

The real dissapointment is that no tropical cyclones hit the US. Many hurricanes were predicted to slambast us, but they all went out to sea or veered south. No tropical storms even hit the US in 2010! Very much a bust of a much-hyped hurricane season.

Next year, expect an El Nino - another bust

[allancaldera]

tropical storm paula forms north of honduras

[allancaldera]

matthews forms in the centrqal caribbean will crash on honduras

[deepsleeper01]

@idontreallyknownno its been busy so far

[idontreallyknowno]

Gaston still looks horrible.

Hermine forms in the far western Gulf of Mexico from 90L...will be a strong TS or minimal hurricane when it crashes ashore in Mexico, and will bring rain to Texas.

[idontreallyknowno]

Earl spares the US, hits Nova Scotia as a weakening tropical storm (Saturday morning)

Fiona is dead.

Tropical Depression Gaston struggling with dry air, but he is expected to make a recovery and strengthen back into a tropical storm and move to the west or west-northwest either into the Caribbean or just north of it.

Elsewhere, a weak tropical wave lingers in the eastern Atlantic, and a low pressure area exists in the SW Gulf of Mexico. Neither expected to be very strong, if anything.

[idontreallyknowno]

Danielle is gone.

Earl is a raging Category 4 hurricane currently threatening the East Coast. It may or may not make a landfall, but it will certainly be impactful.

TS Fiona is a moderate tropical storm that is expected to "go poof" (die) a slow death over the western Atlantic as it endures northwesterly shear from powerful Earl.

TS Gaston has formed in the Central Atlantic (a threat in time), and a new tropical wave has rolled off Africa that could become TD 10 and eventually Hermin.

[idontreallyknowno]

Hurricane Danielle becomes a Category 4 hurricane but goes out to sea, naturally.

Hurricane Earl forms, looks to be a fish storm...with an outside shot of hitting New England. Unfortunately it's only a 15% chance at this point, will most likely go out to sea. Keep you posted.

Tropical wave east of Earl looks poised to become Fiona.

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Depression Six forms in Eastern Atlantic, likely to become Hurricane Danielle, a fish storm.

[idontreallyknowno]

It's not going to be an active hurricane season. This year's become the ultimate overhyped bust of a year. It's been average so far...at best. If it wasn't for Hurricane Alex...we'd be behind 2009, the most inactive hurricane season since 1997, an extremely unactive season driven by the strongest El Nino in recorded history.

[deepsleeper01]

i live in jersey and ive never seena hurricane, although im a real hurricane fanatic.

[ well ive rode out ts hannah [ NOAA is predicting a pretty avtive hurricane seson so im excited

[idontreallyknowno]

Looking back on this video...my predictions for Edouard and Gustav 2 years ago were downright horrible! Glad I don't work for the NHC. LOL...

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Storm Colin forms in the Central Atlantic and dies a quick death, speed and shear being its demise. What a bust. NEXT!

[myztainzydeout]

great vid love the attitude

[idontreallyknowno]

We've had a relatively slow start to the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, though it was originally predicted by NOAA to be the second most active season behind 2005 with (23) storms, as it turns out we've only had one named storm through the first month and a half of this season.

That storm, however, was Hurricane Alex, a formidable Category 2, which crashed ashore just south of the Texas border in Mexico in late June.

[idontreallyknowno]

Due to the strong El Niño even that occurred this season, the Atlantic basin was surpressed to a total of 8 tropical storms, 2 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes on the year.

However, the Eastern Pacific has had an above-average season, as typical for El Niño-type seasons. In the EPAC, Hurricane Rick (180 MPH, Cat 5) is currently bearing down on the southwestern Mexican coast. It is expected to make landfall as a major hurricane, though not at Category 5 intensity.

[jamnig20]

@idontreallyknowno

Their were actually 9 storms, 3 hurricanes and 2 major hurricanes.

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Storm Danny will make landfall tonight in the Northeast U.S. as as an extratropical storm, similar to a Nor'easter.

Invest 94L is looking weak at this hour...however we mustn't forget the last two hurricane seasons where around this time of year we had a 94L which almost died. Each of these formed into a major hurricane which would go down in history (Felix and Gustav).

[idontreallyknowno]

Because Zeta was an enormous fluke, just like Hurricane Epsilon in December.

I'm excited for the 2012 hurricane season. This year's been a bust. Hurricane Bill weakens from a Cat.4 hurricane to a Cat.2 and heads out to sea while a weak African wave is the only other entity in the basic...Next year pleas!

[HkKillermind]

2008 was a bust i thought ike and gustav would be liek katrena till they go in warm water a weeken 2009 will be good

[jamnig20]

@HkKillermind

2008 was not a bust, in fact it was the 4th worst hurricane season on record. with 16 named storms, 8 hurricanes and 5 major hurricanes. Where the it had 4 cat4s a a cat 3. Almost as intense as 2004

[sevenfold413]

lol how the hell can a hurricane form in january? it supposed to be too cold...

[Uzibit]

I LOVED this hurricane season!! So much excitement and thrills!! I hope it happens again just for all the entertainment!!

:-)

[HkKillermind]

yep i loved that hurricane season too no idssipointments

[chalicechica]

Uzibit: just where do you live?? I'm in central Florida where we got run down by three hurricanes during the 2004 hurricane season, and let me tell you - if you had to live through one of these, it's not fun. Seems to me you haven't lived through one that is about to blow debris right through your windows, and you haven't had to live on nonperishables and bottled water for weeks on end. Oh, and let's not forget trying to find gas for the car when most stations had no power!

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Storm Claudette (50mph, TS) makes landfall near the eastern end of Santa Rosa island, FL panhandle (SE of Fort Walton Beach, FL) at 0510Z August 17, 2009.

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Storm Ana forms (40mph, CATL)

Tropical Storm Bill forms (40mph, ECATL, east of Ana)

Bill looks like the major player, though models are predicting him to be a fish storm.

[idontreallyknowno]

(8/14/09)

Tropical Depression Two forms in East Atlantic, dissipates before reaching tropical storm status.

An African wave (90L) trails former TD 2, and is looking fairly good at this hour. 90L has the potential to become TD 3, and eventually, Tropical Storm Ana.

If 90L becomes Tropical Storm Ana, expect Ana to track into the Northeast Caribbean or Bahamas region as a powerful hurricane, also the first tropical player of the season.

The high is too strong to recurve this out to sea.

[stonebob26]

You can fuck off, filthy what ever you are.

[4jeremy9]

Tesla developed technology to control the weather

[diversi90]

SPANISH:AH NO PERO PHILIPPE SE FORMÓ PRIMERO ,PUES ES POR ORDEN ALFABÉTICO ¿NO? ENGLISH:PHILIPPE AH BUT NO is formed first, because it is NOT ALPHABETICAL ORDER?

[diversi90]

SPANISH:¿QUIÉN SE FORMÓ PRIMERO? ¿PHILIPPE O RITA?. BUENO PERO ME GUSTA ESTE VIDEO Y LO MÁS SORPRENDENTE ES EL HURACÁN WILMA QUE SE FORMÓ EN UN MAR POCO FRÍA Y ROMPIÓ EL RÉCORD DE PRESIÓN CENTRAL (882 hPa) ENGLISH:Who is formed first? PHILIPPE RITA O ¿?. PERO BUENO ME GUSTA ESTE VIDEO Y LO more surprising is Hurricane Wilma to be formed in a shallow sea broke the record COLD AND CENTRAL PRESSURE (882 hPa)

[diversi90]

SPANISH: me gusta el video ,pero noté que hay huracanes que no comprendo ,cómo el huracán Wilma. ENGLISH:I like the video, but I noticed that hurricanes do not understand how the hurricane Wilma.

[Gumby13j]

im sorry if u guys alrdy posted this, but whats the name of the song?

[idontreallyknowno]

Pre-season forecasts

On December 10, 2008, Klotzbach's team issued its first extended-range forecast for the 2009 season, predicting slightly above-average activity (14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, 3 of Category 3 or higher).

[idontreallyknowno]

16/8/5. 2nd most active hurricane season in named storm history, behind 2005.

[aus2045]

I am glad we dont get Hurricanes in Australia, we just get Mini-hurricanes that we call Cyclones, they dont do much, just some wind, a few showers of rain and sometimes bruise a few Bannas (Larry), nothing like what you guys get over there.

[idontreallyknowno]

Category 4 Hurricane Paloma struck Cuba as a 145 MPH hurricane at 1545Z today.

Paloma is the second most intense late-season hurricane, only to Lenny (1999).

The 2008 hurricane season set another record: This is the best spanned-out year, the only year with at least one major hurricane in five different months, breaking 2005's record of 4 month-span.

The 2008 season has tied the record for most Cat 4 hurricanes, with 1999 and 2005.

Current 2008 season stats:

16 NS

8 H

5 Major

[idontreallyknowno]

Not so fast.

TD17 seems poised to become the first November major hurricane since Lenny in 1999.

[deathmalice21]

looks pretty official we will finish season w:

15 name storms

8 hurricanes

4 major hurricanes -

[BTVStation101]

whoa @ 2:02 the water in the center of the gulf of mexico gets cooler after katrina passes that blob of cool waters

[BTVStation101]

the music at the end creeps me out

[idontreallyknowno]

Hurricane Kyle headed for Canada. Could see a repeat of Juan/Isaac.

[myClichestory9]

TS Kyle is now a Category 1. =/

[idontreallyknowno]

My prediction (featured on THIS video) with the location for Ike was dead-on, too bad my intensity fcst wasn't. Gained $100, lost $50. I'll take it.

[idontreallyknowno]

TS Kyle forms in Atlantic, should stay east of the U.S. but could become a hurricane and eventually impact Canada like Juan '03 or Isaac '06 did.

[imgoingtobarf]

WOOOOOW!!!!!NICE VIDEOS!

[idontreallyknowno]

Remnants of Josephine absorbed into frontal boundary and won't redevelop. Very quiet tropics. Look for this to continue until next hurricane season.

[Geo77551]

i like this... but we should try and make this video a little clearer:D

[aus2045]

I am glad we dont get Hurricanes in Australia. They are very dangerous.

[ghal416]

australia actually does get hurricanes, they just are called by a different name.

[idontreallyknowno]

91L declared by the National Hurricnae Center east of the Bahamas, from the remnants of Josephine. The invest is undergoing 20-30 knots of shear from the west for some reason, and has a slim chance for development at the moment.

[idontreallyknowno]

2005 > 2008 it seems like despite the hype.

[ghal416]

still a half of season to go though. remember, storms like rita and wilma didn't come till late september or october. not saying this season will match up to 05 when it is all set and done, but we should always keep up our guard just in case.

[idontreallyknowno]

Ike weakens to a Category 1 hurricane over Cuba, now Ike's position remains East of the Isle of Youth. The NHC predicts Ike to become a Category 3 in the Gulf of Mexico, but I'm still thinking a 4 or 5 cat in the Gulf of Mexico threatening Galveston in a few days.

[idontreallyknowno]

Ike hits Cuba as a Category Three hurricane.

[ghal416]

awesome video. is there a place on the NASA site or elsewhere where these satellite movies can be viewed? thanks for uploading :)

[buckstawordup]

Cool Video...wish it was in better quality

[idontreallyknowno]

Better quality? Fuck that. It's presented in great quality as it is.

[buckstawordup]

Yeah better quality would be better.

[idontreallyknowno]

I disagree.

[buckstawordup]

You are certainly entitled to your opinion.

Lets take a poll.

Who thinks this video would be better in a higher resolution which would result in a better quality video?

[idontreallyknowno]

Quality is overrated. I have been able to see and hear this fine since Day One.

[buckstawordup]

You are entitled to your opinion.

[Anticyclonic]

Christ, what are you, a fucking parrot? "You are entitled to your opinion..." Yeah yeah, Polly...we get it.

Now, unless you have something constructive to say, stop littering my agonizingly shitty-quality video with your polls and "opinions" and go find a better video to curse with your presence, you big-shot blowhard. Get over yourself. No one cares.

[idontreallyknowno]

Ike regains category four status.

[BTVStation101]

omg wilma wuz a ROCKET after it hit florida

[Komain72]

Where did you get the video you had in the video?

[lovemehatemeLOLZ]

the worst were Wilma Katrina and Rita, 3 bad ladies causing trouble

[idontreallyknowno]

Ike rapidly strengthens to a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 miles per hour.

[idontreallyknowno]

hanna weakens to tropical storm, Ike strengthens a bit, Josephine forms; looks like a fish storm.

[idontreallyknowno]

Hanna becomes a hurricane (80 MPH) and Tropical Storm Ike forms from TD9.

[idontreallyknowno]

Gustav makes landfall as a Category 2 hurricane west of New Orleans at 1455Z in Southeast Louisiana.

Tropical Storm Hanna intensifies to 60 MPH. Expect this to become a hurricane within 24 hours.

Meanwhile, Tropical Depression 9 has formed in the eastern Atlantic. Expect this to become Hurricane Ike in the next five days as it moves westward towards the CONUS.

A new tropical wave has moved off the coast of Africa.

[idontreallyknowno]

Gustav likely not the catastrophe it was predicted to be yesterday.

[idontreallyknowno]

Gustav looks awful at the moment after passing over Cuba. Likely downgrade to Cat 2 at next advisory. Cuba did a toll on Gustav. Hanna looks even worse, suffering 80-100 knots of westerly shear from the west, and several knots of easterly shear.

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Storm Hanna formed a couple days ago...50 MPH...forming the same way Rita formed a few years ago with an eastward-moving trough combined with a westward-moving wave. Still lurking, well to the north of Puerto Rico, drifting westward.

[lovemehatemeLOLZ]

Hanna is a hurricane i think now

[idontreallyknowno]

Negative.

[idontreallyknowno]

Gustav now a Category 4 hurricane approaching Cuba.

I'll take my crow with barbecue sauce, de-boned and on a bun. Thanks.

[hysteria544]

look what gustav has become now lol

[nobodykh]

damn it gustav is a hurricane now and the path takes it either to fl or into the gulf and they r still dealing with the remnats of fay let's just hope it changes course

[BTVStation101]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! may be one of the best hurricane vids ive ever seen

[idontreallyknowno]

Added to favorites.

Meanwhile, Gustav has officially become a hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 80 MPH. Category 1 on the saffir simpson scale.

Gustav is heading WNW in the Caribbean. Likely to stay South of Cuba and possibly graze the extreme northwest tip of Cuba, which is mostly flatland. Possibly could be a Cat 3 by that time. Then into the southern gulf, where a trough could eventually push it northward into the northern Gulf, perhaps becoming a threat to NOLA in time.

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Storm Gustav forms in the Eastern Caribbean, south-southeast of Haiti moving west-northwest at 14 mph. Way to go recon!

95L and 96L have gotten better organized this afternoon and we could see possible development as the wind shear weakens in the path of 95L as the trough lifts eastward.

[idontreallyknowno]

94L in the Eastern-Central Caribbean looks good this morning. Air Force Reconnaissance hurricane hunters will fly into this system this afternoon to see if TD7 has formed.

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Storm Fay over the Florida Panhandle, still retaining tropical storm status. 45 MPH currently.

Meanwhile I'm watching a disturbance (94L) east of the Lesser Antilles that is forecast to become a tropical depression within 72 hours.

[latindude18]

2008 is definetly off to a bang!! We are in August already we already have Fay.. and it looks like 3 days later we will have Gustav..beacuse of a wave getting better organized.. South Florida here we go again!!

[Nicolingiouragano]

What's the name of this song?

[idontreallyknowno]

Enigma - Return to Innocence

Genre: Ballad Rock

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Storm Fay nearing landfall in Southwest Florida. Maximum sustained winds pegged at 60 mph at 0400Z.

[idontreallyknowno]

Good grief...three african waves reduced to one. Thanks a lot, tropics. : |

Though the reconnaissance may be investigating something to the ENE of the northernmost Greater Antilles, it looks like it will have no impact on the U.S. even if it develops as it heads to the N.W. at around 15 knots.

[idontreallyknowno]

Three african waves to watch...nothing else.

[idontreallyknowno]

Edouard made landfall this morning...around 1511Z as a moderate tropical storm with winds of 65 mph.

Weak. For now there's an invest north of Puerto Rico and a few African waves...I'm hoping to see development, but they may or may not develop within 3-5 days. Watch the one above Puerto Rico, Katrina formed the same way.

[rickeytaylor15]

you aint got to tell me about the one in the gulf now.. im in houston and its just raining right now (11:43 AM)

[idontreallyknowno]

My prediction sucked. 60 MPH TS right now and likely 70-80 mph storm at landfall, no major hurricane. Cat 1 best case scenario, strong tropical storm worst case.

[idontreallyknowno]

Tropical Storm Edouard forms in the Gulf of Mexico. Expect this to become a hurricane and hit either TX or LA in two days or so. The NHC says that Edouard will only become a 70 mph tropical storm at landfall, but I'm going out on a limb and predicting 100-115 mph moderate strong hurricane Edouard as he rapidly intensifies over hot Gulf water and very low wind shear conditions.

Either me or the NHC will eat crow. Who will it be? Time will tell.

[idontreallyknowno]

Recon reporting strong TD force winds in the surface circulation of 91L, the Gulf of Mexico disturbance. Could become a TD later today. Keep you posted.

[idontreallyknowno]

My Mid-Season 2008 Prediction (includes storms that have already formed and dissipated)

17-19 Named Storms

9-11 hurricanes

4-6 major hurricanes

[idontreallyknowno]

TROPICAL UPDATE...August has arrived, there are three disturbances to watch in the Atlantic basin today.

99L - Central Atlantic, east of Lesser Antilles, highest chance for TD status

90L - Eastern Atlantic, high easterly shear now, but probably has the most potential out of all of them.

91L - North Central Gulf of Mexico. Recon scheduled to be flying into this today, but it looks like this won't have much of a chance to attain TD status before making landfall somewhere on the Gulf Coast

[chipayten]

I think its really cool how you see the planet warm up then gradually cool down

[idontreallyknowno]

Hurricane Dolly made landfall this morning (July 23 1600Z) as a Category 2 hurricane in extreme Southern Texas. The first of many U.S. hurricane landfalls in the 2008 hurricane season.

[idontreallyknowno]

Bertha's remains are now extratropical.

Though we have TS Cristobal off the east coast and TS Dolly in the gulf of Mexico. Another wave just off Africa could become Edouard in the next 3-5 days.

[pattyg1821]

great

[idontreallyknowno]

"Global warming" is such bullshit.

Notice how inactive the hurricane years of 2006 and 2007 were. 2005-type years don't come around very often.

Meanwhile, seems 2008 is off to a bang with Category 3 Bertha and another wave off Africa that could become the third named storm already.

[nobodykh]

hurricane katrina woke the world up to what global warming and mothernature have in planned 4 us humans just like 9/11 did about what osama and al qaeda had in store 4 the world as well

[idontreallyknowno]

By the way, the song is called:

Enigma - Return to Innocence

they're from Taiwan...the chants are asian, not Indian/Iranian.

[idontreallyknowno]

Extremely epic. The music sucks though...sounds Iranian-ish.

So are the colors (blue-red) in the map of the TATL = the SST's?

[WIREMAN102]

at 1:57 threw 2:07 is katrina i would no taht more than anyrthing cuz after it happended i studied it like crazy ^^

[PCTexasGuyz]

I didn't relize that 2005 was that bad in Hurricanes?? WOW! Great vid and very cool music!

[SweetLady0807]

Wuts this song called??

[yoshio25]

wow...

[itsalleternal]

The systems not listed on the video were:

Tropical Depression Ten - at about 1:46

Tropical Depression Nineteen - at about 2:33

Unnamed Subtropical Storm - at about 2:39

Subtropical Depression Twenty-Two - at about 2:45

[kooldude8884]

at 2:02, The world took notice.

[bus19]

Jose - The only storm since Peter of 2003 I didn't track ( due to headache ), even though technically, Peter can't count because Alex of 2004 was the first hurricane I tracked.

[ISwearICanFly]

Eh, it was pretty cool. I wasn't really upset when I saw Katrina, even if I got owned by it. I guess that makes me a terrible person :D

[henspens]

This version is so much better. it's strange that the storms started veering to the east and south.

[UchihaKina]

When I watched Wilma go through... still recovering from that storm.

[huckleberryjinx]

this was so amazing.

[doctorj2u]

Great video! How can something so beautiful be so destructive? My heart sank as Katrina hit. My world as I knew changed forever in that momemt.

[DoctorMetropolis]

I always watch your vids and get sense of impending disaster..I get scared and sad..is that what I'm supposed to feel?

[tornadomad]

NO! It's friggin' AWESOME!

[DoctorMetropolis]

Lol! OK, call me after the next twister sets you down and tell me 'bout the ride!

[Anticyclonic]

LMAO, thank you, tornadomad! Don't mind him, DocMet...he's a rather rough & tumble young guy who loves storms as much as I do, and he's not afraid to say so!

As long as you enjoy them...or even if they stir something inside you...that's all I care about, Doc. :o)
