Raptor Witness Posted September 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hurricane Florence unexpectedly became the first category 3 or major hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic season today. It’s still very early in the forecast models but the consistency of a possible westward solution is a bit unnerving. After what we saw with Harvey in Houston, and Maria in Puerto Rico last year, I am sure of that no one will be under estimating the potential for a catastrophic collision with U.S. this year.

Raptor Witness Posted September 5, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) The top two models are not usually in agreement, especially this far out. With the Jet Stream all but banished to the Northern Latitudes this year, I guess this is what we can expect to see more of in September.

+and-then Posted September 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2018 We had a 2-year-old crushed by a tree falling onto a mobile home last night. It happened about 20 miles from us. To my knowledge, it was Gordon's only fatality. The little girl had been in bed when the tree fell. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varelse Posted September 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Looks like a few models show one hitting Washington. That would be kind of funny in the ironic way. We can only hope the perfect storm conditions don't come together this season but the odds are looking like the US is going to get smacked by at least one giant in the next month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official forecast is for a below average season. My forecast for this year was not ironic, nor political, but musical, and for the first time, I used the word "horror."
