Could be a matter of only hours until TD No. 6 gets a name--Florence.
At 10 am, CDT:
* Center relocated to latitude 16.3N, Longitude 42.7W
* 1235 miles east of Lesser Antilles
* Moving NW 12
* Sustained winds 35 mph, just under the wire for tropical storm honors
* Lowest pressure 29.68 inches
The Lesser Antilles is that long string of north-to south islands that curve around the eastern Caribbean. They almost look like barrier islands for the Caribbean. There is a bunch of them but they are all small and usually offer little defense from a tropical storm or hurricane.
SIMPLE NAMES
We are getting into some storm names that will be easier to pronounce. I had to pause for a second to make sure Ernesto came our correctly. Wanted to call him Earnest-toe. Next names:
Florence
Gordon
Helene
Isaac
Joyce
Kirk
Leslie
Michael
Possible that we could get through the rest of the season with no tongue-tanglers.
BLIZZARD OF 93
Be sure and scroll down to see he great pictures from the Pinson area of the big piles of snow in the 1993 storm. Sure brings back lots of semi-old memories!
