Bonnie bombs

Another Tiny Tim bites the dust.
Oh well, it’s not just Bonnie that bombed. The media did try to make it out to be more than it was. Though at least Fox News seemed to be geographically challenged when referring to the the storm as coming from the Caribbean, when it formed north of Haiti/Dominican Republic. Last I looked, the Caribbean was located south of that island.

Interesting . A couple of days ago I was watching The Weather Channel’s tropical update when their hurricane expert informed Jim Cantore ( who was on location in south Florida ) that Bonnie would peter out in the Gulf . Big Jim was obviously displeased . So far , the near record tropical season that Cantore and other commited alarmists has failed to materialize . Let’s all hope that this trend continues .

Never let a good Non-Crises go to waste.

The real center of circulation (making land fall in Huston today) [it will be back in 109 days ready to talk business] was West of the rain band that they called Bonnie, Because there are no major outer planets having a synod conjunction with the earth until mid August, the precipitation was “missing” from the center of circulation, as the global circuit is still in the ion charge mode, it increases global precipitation rates post conjunctions. (Remember the flash floods in March, April?)
The real hurricane season will kick in after the first of three synod conjunctions with Neptune on the 20th of August, then really get crazy just after the combined synod conjunctions with both Jupiter and Uranus on the 21st, and each other on the 24th of August. There might be enough power in the solar wind disruption coming on the 21st to 24th to shut down some Power grids, with the geomagnetic storms they will probably generate.
I would expect to see an increase in background seismic activity 30 days both sides of the double conjunction. Just wait till they start saying the AGW caused all of the sudden activity right on (planetary scheduled) time.

So Joe Bastardi hit it right on the nose huh, again. Don’t get too big of a head now Joe.

There is a rumor that Al Gore has ordered several billion breeze boxes and some barges (leased from Enron) to set them up on. He figures with all the breeze boxes turned on, not only will he simulate at least a tropical storm, but he will elevate the temperature due to all the power being used, once again proving his point about AGW (Al Gore Whining).

Why has the hurricane season flopped so far?
Is it the changes due to oncoming La Nina, that went where they didn’t expect La Nina to go?

“I am a bit curious what the increased wave motion from the storm will do to the oil from the spill, especially the oil that was mixed with emulsifiers. A lot of it just may disappear. […]”
I just read in some news article that dispersed oil is broken down quicker than undispersed; their only worry is that the underwater plumes might affect organisms more.

I’m not that worried though. I prefer oily fish anyway 😉

It seemed NOAA’s tracking was bit off, too, being about 100 miles south of it’s course, and about as straight a line as it could be, not the curve they modeled and never changed. The primary reason it bombed was it got sucked into a (High pressure?) system to it’s west which quickly dragged it out, so it couldn’t develop. That system was pretty strong and it was the main reason the potential depression futher east of Bonnie never developed, however that one has never left the eastern coast of Mexico and looks like it might redevelop and maybe head north behind the High as the High moves into Texas.
I’ll be interested to see if and when NOAA might make note of the one over Mexico. It seems more likely than the new one to the west they note, but I’m not in this profession.

Following along with Mark Sudduth’s http://www.hurricanetrack.com it became clear fairly early (about Tuesday) that Bonnie was going to go out with a whimper.
Notwithstanding the named storms predictions, this year is analog with 2005….so we may yet be very active. Happily, with adroit analyses of the ENSO, the PDO and the AO etc., the fervor for AGW-boosted hurricane intensity is totally debunked.
The Hansenesque tendency to want to make every situation a critical one makes preparation and mitigation all the more difficult. Factual precision and accuracy are, as ever, the key.

To asmilwho and others who dismiss planetary influence:
Do not underestimate the influence of planetary mechanics. Jupiter controls the 11 year Sun spot cycle. This cycle alone creates numerous harmonics at 11.1212×2^N, where N is any number from 0 to 11. The product of 22, 45, 90, 180, 360, 720 and 1,440, 2,800, 5,600 11,500 and 23,000 years results in miriad cycles which effect the climate. Then there is the Moon with its 18 year tidal and 1,800 year declination cycles. Venus, Earth and Jupiter create a 20 year Landescheidt tidal cycle. Jupiter and Saturn combine to create a 60 year climate cycle. And when some of these cycles get together and reinforce, dramatic climate changes can be expected. Uranus a magnetic giant controls the solar 18,000 magnetic reversal cycle. And on, and on, and on.
