What’s the saying? Hell hath no fury like a woman storm? Yep. Corn. Sorry.
Danielle is looking like she might be a bit of a hag. It was 5 years ago this week that Katrina set her mark on the gulf coast, as she gained strength while pushing into the warm gulf waters. At present, Danielle is splashing around in the Atlantic high seas, and looks as if she’ll head north, and then potentially northwest.
More specifically the storm has been upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane, and is presently moving through the Atlantic towards Bermuda at a speed of 18-20 mph. It is projected to push across the island sometime Sunday evening. This projected path should offer some relief to residents of Florida, and the gulf coast. While the regions are quite used to dealing with the severe storms, they have no experience in dealing with such a storm in the wake of one of the worst man-made disasters in recorded history. Here’s to hoping for the best into October, and wishing those well in the territory of Bermuda.
Chances are, Danielle will strut her stuff and show her teeth to the island of Bermuda, and could potentially affect the Mid-Atlantic states and northeastern states, but possibly with no more than a high surf advisory. The projected path will depend on a number of variables, and will generally deviate from whatever meteorologists predict and forecast.
On the opposite side of the landmass known as North America, Hurricane Frank is flirting with the Mexican coast, as another tropical depression begins to swirl in the Atlantic. At this point, it’s Tropical Depression 7, and not cool enough to have a name. Regardless, after a quiet summer start, it’s beginning to look like it may be a very busy storm season.
