Will Tropical Hurricane Helene, which is currently howling bring us the horrific high category Hurricane we had not hoped for? What appeared to be a reasonably simple Tropical Depression, which turned into a Tropical Storm is now about to become Hurricane Helene. Meteorologists, weather experts and extreme weather researchers had hoped to be at the 2006 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Seasons half way point by the time Hurricane Helene came howling by Havana. Many at the National Tropical Hurricane Weather Center in Miami knew that the 2006 Tropical Hurricane Season would be a biggie and those sentiments where indeed echoed by many research weather scientists at the NOAA and those watching for trends using NASA weather satellites. The Hurricane Hunters of course will be dispatched to fly thru Hurricane Helene to see how strong her winds are actually howling, while we all wait and watch for the results on the Weather Channel. If you tune into the weather channel you are not alone, as their viewer ship has increased by a factor of 15 since Hurricane Helene first started. In fact it appears that The NOAA website this 1006 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season has indeed also broken its last years records for unique visitors? Very impressive as we all have Hurricanes on our minds dont we? Consider all this in 2006. |
