Hurricane season is not over yet. Still have until the end of November.
It's not over til it's over.

Be careful what you wish for. Meanwhile in India:
The DR got lucky this year...
Is this the second one this month for them or are you repeating the last one?
That's the one from earlier this month. 250KPH winds- that's over 150MPH. Amazing they were able to evacuate so well. Only a few deaths.
Ya. I posted about it in the weather thread. They did an amazing job evacuating and very few lost with that monster.
Good shot that you posted really shows the size of it. Let's NOT have one here, tankyouberymunch.
lots of high dry air off of the coast of africa this year inhibiting formations., but don't worry, they will come.
Yeah Sandy was bad up here even though it was technically just a very large Cat 1. Houses up here aren't made for that kind of weather and there is a lot more alluvial soil that can wash away.
After Irene, I went through a tiny town in NY that was all but wiped out. Debris block the river at a bridge a few miles up and the entire river was diverted through the town with 6 feet of water. Whole houses were still in the river from being swept away.
I remember Agnes in '73 and we were under two feet of water. Corning NY was under 20ft of water.

I have no desire to be around for a hurricane, tsunami, or earthquake.
The north coast has never been hit by a hurricane in recorded history. I was flying to the DR to live full time the day a rather large earthquake hit the Puerto Plata area. I had met people that died in the tsunami that hit Sri Lanka.

Just spent three weeks in La Romana area, we had enough rain, maybe you should come over here and install some heavy duty ventilators to blow the clouds to the north...
We shure don't hear the Mexicans complain that there's not enough rain, maybe you should consider moving over there or go to Scotland.
Just pray to the Taino gods that the hurricanes stay away, the poor people don't like them, because they lose their homes...
Dry weather suits me fine - fewer mosquitoes and the weeds don't grow so fast.
But if you want a good storm, the place to be today is England - BBC News - Three die as storm hits southern UK

LOL drstock - I come from the UK and everyone said we were mad to come to the Caribbean with all its bad storms, they have had far worse over the last 6-7 years than we have.
A few small storms (like tropical depressions) are fine by me, I seriously do not want to experience a hurricane thank you very much, may we long stay on this lovely quiet path. I remember the year we arrived TWO tropical storms within the first two months, one after the other - thought we were going to float away, lol... since then it has been total bliss so really am not interested in doing the 'rain dance'...
