More weather

[susandennis]

I was just sitting in my chair watching the game and realized that it was time to turn the fan off! I think it's the first time it's been off since the first of June. It's a little chilly outside, she says ever so gratefully!

And then I flipped to the channel to catch a bit of the news in time to hear the weather guy say that the new hurricane was going to land at my brother's house on Saturday a.m. That's not so good. And doesn't F come after G? Gaston was last weekend and this is Francis... Did someone jump the queue????

I think Gaston and Frances were "born" around the same time. Frances is nearly a week old ("she" was "born" August 25); Gaston was a really quick storm that just kinda came and went very quickly.

According to this (http://www.moreweather.com/tropics/Storms/formGASTON.txt), Gaston indeed was "born" just over two days later than Frances (http://www.moreweather.com/tropics/Storms/formFRANCES.txt), so the order wasn't skipped. :)

My guess is Frances (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2004/FRANCES.shtml) started first, but didn't do anything for a while. Gaston (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2004/GASTON.shtml?) came a short time later and did its damage fairly quickly.

No.

yay for cooler weather! I'm not sure summer has started here yet - but I am NOT NOT complaining.
