2015 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

Danny now at Category 3.

Pretty surprising, really. It's not very large in size, and the hurricane force winds are only about 20-30 miles diameter.

It still has quite a bit of wind shear and dry air to contend with as it closes in on the islands, then has to meander through those as well.

Danny downgraded to Cat 2, winds now only at 100 MPH.

My brother and his family left this morning for the Bahamas. I've been watching Danny's track. Looks like it shouldn't affect them.
 
The kid has a job flying planes out of daytona if Danny is supposed to hit there.

Danny has degenerated into a Tropical Depression, but Erika is likely to form soon.

It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since Katrina. What is forgotten is that it caused significant damage in the Ft. Lauderdale area before growing into the monster it became when it hit the Gulf.

I followed it from FLA to Gulfport. The day before landfall my cameraman and I were staying in the Holiday Inn on the beach. We evacuated to an old HoJo's near the airport in Mobile. Turned out to be a good thing, because most of the Holiday Inn was under water. Mobile was bad enough. The roof the HoJo's was torn off and the downtown was flooded. The next day we headed north and saw the destruction all the way to Montgomery.

The ten days that we covered the storm were both awe-inspiring and terrifying at the same time. Glad I'm not doing that today.

It looks like it will probably be quite weak by the time it gets to you, but you could get a lot of rain.

Well, yes. It may not even come at me, with the way the projections have steadily shifted west. We don't particularly need the rain though, either... had some pretty widespread flooding just 3 weeks ago or so.

Now a hurricane. This is only the third hurricane to ever affect the cape verde islands and maybe the first to ever make landfall on one of the islands.

It looks like Freddy isn't going to do much more hacking. ;)

It's interesting that this is the third consecutive TS to peter out before reaching the US this season. Not that I mind. :)
