For all of you with weather interests along the ATL coast and the GOM Basin

Hurricane season begins in 6 days. Time to dust off the shutters, test out the generators, restock on perishables, check your battery supply, etc. Having said that, the onset of ElNino conditions in the Pacific is leading the forecasters to predict lower numbers of Hurricanes for the Atlantic/GOM basins in the coming months than normal, whatever normal is.

NHC preliminary forecast is HERE (http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2014/20140522_hurricaneoutlook_atlantic.html)

Thankfully, I don't have a direct impact anymore, but with family and friends in New Orleans and Houma, Louisiana, and friends on the panhandle, it keeps my interest. Plus there can be a significant weather impact a couple hundred miles from the coast to me.

Is there a cool hurricane tracker app that anyone recommends? More for entertainment than information. I have weather channel, couple of radar apps, coachsmart (still not resurrected by Vanderbilt last I checked) and here that I rely on for direct weather info.

Downloaded Hurricane Software from hurricaneSoftware.com. Looks OK. Started to get Hurricane Hound, but several reviews had it being a big battery hungry drainer.

I do not have an app for tracking, but came across these in a short search. Might be worth a look

The Red Cross app sounds interesting

I will take a look at that, too.

Oh, c'mon there, what fun is it if you don't get a little 'taste' of hurricane in person?

Sun...I'd like for just one time, to go to PCB and not feel like I'm swimming in a bowl of split pea soup because of all the storms that ALWAYS precede my visits!! I always see these beautiful white sand, blue water pics, but I haven't seen it in person in a LONG time.

Summertime isn't really the best time to come down here for that. Usually, December to April are the optimal times for south Florida beaches and nice weather.

My very first hurricane experience was Andrew. A smaller in physical size but not in wallop hurricane, absolutely devastating event. I will never forget taking my DOC inmate work crew down there from the Indiantown prison facility that I was working in at that time. It reminded me of Beirut when I was there, but it was much worse than even Beirut after years of war & civil strife. Homestead was basically destroyed. Florida City too. The level of destruction was impressive. Nothing beats Mother Nature in the realm of physical destruction in an event like that.

Mine was David, I was in school at FIT on Indian River Dr. dorms were devastated. Fortunately for me I had found a place off campus prior to the storm
