and odds are for some 3 serious hurricanes beginning june 1st.

it's different every year, but always exciting and sometimes distressful.

drought conditions in much of georgia, after last year's hurricane event in sw georgia.

it's been said that ga. peach farmers drive a 2yr. old truck in a bad year, and a new truck in a good year.

Yeah, I believe most could do without any 'hurricane events' for a while

The weather patterns are changing meaning more frequent slow-moving and powerful storms. There is more moisture in the air and the weather will become more difficult to predict. This offers new opportunities. For example, anticipating warmer climate Russian Federation is putting high tech weapons in far north and building several heavy nuclear powered icebreakers. In case of Middle Eastern crises gas can be delivered from Russian Federation to China in about 19 days.

we're way over due here in CC, Harvey missed us to the north by 25-30 miles so it wasn't that bad here in town.

I met the meteorologist who forecast Michael to make landfall at 90MPH. He said that there was a range of error of 70MPH. He explained why he felt like it was going to be on the lower end. It went something like this. There was a trough of highly favorable conditions about 50 miles broad. The steering elements are easier to accurately predict than the intensity elements. The storm was not supposed to move along that trough. They were only off by a little on the track, but that little mattered a lot relative to the favorable conditions for intensification.

the weather service and the private sector weather forecasters are going to have to continue their development of the cray super computers or something like that.

plenty of people with masters and ph.d degrees in weather, meteorology, atmospheric chemistry and physics, but the fact is the weather just keeps on coming.

Gus ,
I remember about a dozen years ago the drought up in your neck of the woods .
Lakes were so dried up there was nothing but a big mud puddle left . Piers/docks standing on dry ground .
Lake Sidney Lanier was a sight to see [not really] .
I moved to the Atlanta area [Kennesaw] in Sept. 2002 , it started raining in November and never dried up [ground] nearly halting all contruction for several months . Drove many construction companies into bankruptcy , one guy I knew - fourth generation owner lost what his great grandad started many years before .

Bad weather - we need to make better laws against it and enforce the laws already on the books ! smile

Damn! My central air stinks. Once it's above 90 outside, it can only manage to keep the house about fifteen degrees lower than the outside temp. So if it's 98, my house will be about 83 degrees by early evening. Will have to walk around in my underpants with a wet rag on my head.

man alive that was a bad time for the lake front real estate markets.

the push now is to get the un-registered houseboats (sunken) off the lake.

we all know it costs money to get sunken boats off the water and into the landfill.

air conditioners are designed to cool the outside air by about 20 degrees or so.

Hawkeye-- you have the wrong system-- your inside temp should be 20 degrees, or so, cooler than outside.
Call the guy!

hurricanes with winds & rain wash a lot bugs off the trees and down onto the ground.

1 june is the traditional start of the season. the fun starts in sept and later.

down here in jawja, we're in the beginning stages of a drought.

I remember you mentioning that a few months ago , a modern system should cool your house better than that . You need an expert to look at the entire system and house - compressor/insulation/duct work etc. . Can't have too much insulation and have heavy insulation around/over the duct work . Sun shining in windows creates a lot of heat .
Black shingles [any dark color] are the devil in the deep south .
I built two houses [biloxi/ocean springs] side by side just reversed floor plan and slight modification to front porch on one . One had the lightest color shingle [greyish white] the other had black , I had both attic pull down ladders down and compared the heat by going to the top of the ladders . Night and day difference .It was hotter standing on the garage floor under the attic access of the black roof house than it was up in the attic of the white roof house . The added cost over 20 years in the deep south would amount to a lot of money .
Hope you get it resolved .
