Hurricane Emilia

I haven't had any hurricanes to talk about. The Saharan dust and general ENSO-Neutral/El Nino climate affectations seem to be inhibiting Atlantic hurricane development.

This one is a beautiful hurricane we don't have to worry about. It is in the Pacific, far from land, heading west. It is not considered a threat.

As I write this, it is a Category 4 storm. If it should hit land, which it won't, it would be a horrible disaster. Luckily, it won't hit any land.


This picture is from the NOAA GOES-West satellite. There are a lot of wavelengths to choose from but I like this one that reveals a hurricane's deadly beauty.

The weather has always fascinated me. It always will.
