Makin' Waves

Well it was quite an exciting couple of days with hurricane force winds hitting the island for most of the day on Monday. We had tropical storm conditions on Sunday and I ventured out with my Aussie friend Adele to take some pictures of the incoming weather. I was shocked to find that the BBC actually posted one of our pictures!

Interesting article on the BBC too - about how humans are causing stronger storms despite the fact that hurricanes like Florence are fairly pathetic compared to Katrina.

"And even if we take it as read that there is an increase in the baseline of sea surface temperature, there are complexities in the way that cyclone formation reacts to that," he told the BBC News website.

"The hurricane now approaching Bermuda [Florence] struggled and struggled to get to hurricane intensity; so there will be year-to-year differences, and even storm-to-storm differences."
