As you can see in the image to the left there are three storms out in the Atlantic Ocean heading toward parts of the US. Hurricane Earl, Tropical Storm Fiona, and Tropical Storm Gaston.
At this time, neither of the first two seems to be heading for Florida, but instead look like they will head for a more northerly route. Click on the left image below to see Hurricane Earl's projected trajectory and the one on the right to see the proposed path of Fiona.
Gaston is still very faraway, so who knows where it will end up. Worth keeping an eye on it.
So far we have had a pretty quiet hurricane season with no major storms making landfall. We do seem to be getting more rain than we normally do, but this very much resembles the weather patterns that took place all the time up until the late 1980's when a VERY long dry spell took place. So these nice showers are very welcome and have helped cut down on wildfires.
Much of my information comes from the National Hurricane Center. They follow tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes from birth to death. It can be a useful site to visit. If you would like to try it out, click on the following link: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov I suggest you "bookmark it" or "make it a Favorite" for future reference if you live in an area that can be affected by tropical storms or hurricanes. You will find it interesting and helpful to track the path of each storm.
You can also find out how to prepare for hurricanes and other disasters at the following state site: http://www.floridadisaster.org/ Do not wait until a storm is upon us to prepare your home and family. Hopefully we will make it through 2010 with no major storms paying us a visit, but you never know. Better safe than sorry!
