Erin is only the fifth Category 5 hurricane on record to form this early in the hurricane season and the only Category 5 observed outside the Gulf or Caribbean this early in the year.

Hopefully Mother Nature will turn it into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

...giving Bermuda a wide berth

At the rate it's increasing they may have to initiate the long-promised "Cat 6"

That we know of. Prior to weather satellites, we would have very little idea.

Gonna be some good body surfing on the Cape Cod beaches around next Thursday, surfs up : )

What is more interesting to watch is the circulation NCEP's global model is putting into the Gulf in 10 days. It is too far out in time to take seriously but I will be watching each model cycle.

The local Weather TV Stations Forecasters get all excited whenever a storm is a " Possibility ",only because most days are routinely the same day in & day out.
They exaggerate & get all worked up, to the point of Celebrating on the 5% or less possibility of it really happening, I find it amusing.

The general public should start paying attention 4 days out.

If you want people to listen tell them the sky is falling and the world might come to an end.

Some people are easy to amuse but they are the first ones to beeotch when a storm changes direction and causes great loss of life and property.

If reporting the weather bothers some, they should change the channel and throw their chips in the air.

That and reporting the "heat index" ad nauseum.
If the high is going to be 95 and the HIGHEST heat index in the area 105, they report it as a forecast of 105-110, so everybody hears that 110. If the highest heat index is going to be 104, then they report it as 104-109. Convenient, huh??? And by that, I mean convenient for pushing their idiotic global warming agenda.

Next they'll be telling us that smoking is bad for our health.

A better example would be them telling us Santa Claus is real.
