Something new about Hurricane Fay Tracking
Hurricane Fay is hanging in the balance between being a tropical storm and a hurricane as it makes it’s projected path toward Florida. Hurricane Fay could bring almost a foot of rain to the Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast, with top winds earlier on Monday, August 18th, 2008 at 60 MPH, while the Florida Keys and Miami-Dade County has begun to get severe rain bands. As Tropical Storm Fay approaches the Florida Keys, it may pass the hurricane threshold of 74 MPH as it heads for the Florida peninsula. Visitors to the Florida Keys are being asked to evacuate. 1
The Hawaii hurricane is generally rare, as per the records strong winds have hit all the major islands in Hawaii. Hurricane Hiki was the first officially recognized hurricane in the Hawaiian waters in august 1950. Since then five hurricanes have caused severe damaged. Hurricanes are associated with severe thunder storms over warm and Tropical Ocean. These storms are the most destructive and threatening one, in Japan it is known as typhoons and in India it is called a cyclone. 6
Hurricane Flossie has caused the most recent threats to disrupt the normal life in the Hawaiian Islands. The most affected area is the Big Island in which the hurricane has raised the wave up to twenty-five foot. A tropical storm is still raging the Big Island as an after effect of the hurricane. The hurricane brought an earthquake hour before hitting the Big Island. 7
As most of you guys know, the National Hurricane Center in Miami Florida is pretty much where everyone in Florida is turning today for the updated forecasts on Tropical Storm Fay. There is a slight problem though. 4
The NOAA is tracking the storm as always and while Floridians are bracing for the storm others won’t get too excited as many have the attitude that a possible category 1 hurricane is not that difficult if you have been through the storms before. Remember right now this is still classified as a Tropical Storm. 3
This is a broad, really diffuse storm. All the Florida Keys and all the Florida peninsula are going to feel the effects of this storm, no matter where the center makes landfall,” he said. 8
