..I know..how sad..was hoping for some nice remnant alto cu from this one..ohwell, the season is still young..

Nomadicus,
Thank you for the tip..i certainly plan on spending at least some of my leisure time adding to my portfolio( which is despirately in need of up-to-date material)..and just watching nature at her best..i can only imagine all the ooos' and ahhhs' to come.. I just must remember that there are far more strikes per Sq mile there, compared to Kansas..can't stay on a beach too long after i see a blot hit the water....even if i probably would
As for the current lull in activity, i think the same pattern occured in 92..carefully watching things this year. Im starting to wonder if the in-activity recorded in recent sunspot activity has been influencing things over the past couple years..

..And as the remnants of Blanca finally reach us..and present perhaps the first hurricane remnant filled sunset seen in a few years ( at least in the two ive been back here)..Carlos is born..and expected to become a 1 as he sets sail for Hawaii..And behind him, another area being watched...bring on the humidity and remnant-related t-storms!!!

i agree!! it's to early in the season to let your gaurd down!!! in 1999 we got hit by wrong way lenny here on st croix in late november.. we got a lashing from omar last year in october it's not over till it's over.

Theres no way you should ever think about letting guard down until at least October I think

..Yep, he did it, say hello to Hurricane Carlos..who is already reaching out an arm into CA. via the water vapor channel..
As for what remains of Blanca..thanks for the images..please feel free to check out my album..the only catch, Had to work today so i couldn't get more pictures..I almost missed getting the picture of the storm wandering through around sunset..we did get sprinkles though..we'll see what Carlos brings..Perhaps i will have the day off..lol
As for back east, yes..it is wayy too early to let down your guard..and i suspect something will soon be making an appearance..just to bring everyone some excitement..
