Three More Systems To Watch.

After a very quiet summer, there is now a lot of weather in the Atlantic.  

The most significant thing to watch right now in my opinion is Florence, which has been wobbling.  For a while she was headed west towards the Bahamas.  

The system behind Florence has a 70% chance of becoming a cyclone in the next forty-eight hours.  And then there is another area behind that one to keep an eye on.

It now looks like we could get some big waves next week.

Three to five feet is predicted for this weekend, with seven to eleven feet for next Wednesday.  That could get interesting.  We haven't had waves like that for quite a while.  There is a lot of sand to be moved, but that could do it.

Notice the other system below that.  There is a lot going on there.

That system is predicted to be near the Dominican Republic the following weekend.

Of course, this is just a prediction, so it might not happen.  But it is worth watching.  We might get some improved beach hunting in the next week or two.

One of Japan’s busiest airports remained closed indefinitely, a day after the strongest typhoon to hit Japan in 25 years flooded a runway, toppled huge cranes, flipped cars on their side, damaged historic shrines and caused at least 11 deaths as it swept across part of Japan’s main island.

Typhoon Jebi came ashore with sustained winds of 160 kilometers (100 miles) per hour, cutting a path of destruction in and around Osaka and nearby cities that bore the brunt of the storm...

In recent months, two 150-ton survival bunkers journeyed by land and sea from a Texas warehouse to the shores of New Zealand, where they’re buried 11 feet underground.

Seven Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have purchased bunkers from Rising S Co. and planted them in New Zealand in the past two years, said Gary Lynch, the manufacturer’s general manager. At the first sign of an apocalypse — nuclear war, a killer germ, a French Revolution-style uprising targeting the 1 percent — the Californians plan to hop on a private jet and hunker down, he said...

Looks like all the super-rich are ready to take off and leave us poor suckers behind.



Happy hunting,
