Quoting JLPR2:


Not much going on here, this will be a long night. XD

There is some new convection new the center. Well shall I say there is A new convection near the center. There is ONE convention near the center! jajaja

Me alegro de ver que sobrevivieras gaston!

Thanks for the welcomes everyone.
Here are the peak winds (in KM/PH) as reported by the CHC as Earl blew by the Halifax area.

HurricaneGeek they both have more

Gaston at 0.37
Bonnie at 0.37

Thanks.

The BOC area has a big flare up right on the Yucatan west coast... Probably nothing but needs to be watched.

Lucky you, my professors introduced themselves and gave me homework all in one class. -.-

This is good -- why miss an opportunity to learn?

When the folks started RIPing Gaston I almost posted "He's not ALL dead just Mostly dead" but I figured no one would get it.

no problemo

Quoting HurricaneGeek:


Interestingly enough, at least here in W Palm Beach, although Jeanne was stronger, there wasn't as much damage from her as there was from Frances because France took care of 90% of what there was to be knocked down. That's not to say that Jeanne was damage free, not by a long shot. However, France did take care of a lot of potential damage.

That's just my 3 cents jajaja

Same thing happened here in Vero Beach - trees down, not a leaf left on anything still standing after Frances. Jeanne just moved all the debris piles around, requiring another full yard cleanup. Six years later, everything looks pretty much back to normal - hope it stays that way!

Although English is not your first language, I would like to point out that convection cannot be made into a singular noun -- it describes a phenomenon, and therefore you cannot have "one convection," but rather, just "convection."

Me alegro de ver que sobrevivieras gaston!

Uh... why would you be happy to see Gaston alive again? That sounds slightly sadistic...

Quoting Krycek1984:


Now that I have trouble swallowing. Hurricanes have been happening on Earth for millions, or even billions, of years. And they certainly have been impacting Florida for millions. So, saltwater intrusion in the Everglades should be viewed as a natural cycle.

Same thing when barrier islands get split in two...that's what nature does.

The problems arise when:
1. Humans have altered the environment so much that we make the natural occurrence worse, and
2. It effects humans because we build houses on the beach and drain swamps/marshes, etc.

Of course they are part of a natural cycle, as earthquakes are. Yet, they both cause damage and can alter the landscape.

I've been admiring all the big trees, the lush landscaping, and filled in areas for the last month or so. Can't imagine a hurricane coming through and taking it all out again. After Andrew there wasn't a piece of green for miles.

That's a good one Shen Valley..forgot that line Very appropriate
Loved the movie too

Something will have to push the BOC disturbance about 500 miles east for it to be able to develop into a threat.

I see the models still have 99l heading straight for Iceland.

There is a speck of convection to the SW of the center LOL! XD
And if you mean that you're happy Gaston is a live how dare you! :P If you mean that you're happy cause I survived Earl, well yes thank you! XD

I would like my brain to move from it's inactive phase to a more active one without causing a shock to it. LOL

Quoting KanKunKid:


It happens, means no harm. Comes from interest in Hurricanes here on the blog you know, the "Frankenstein syndrome" "ITS ALIVE!! AH HAHAHAAAAA!"

It happens to many of us. Short term memory loss, headaches, fatigue, carpel tunnel, bloating, the inability to hold back flatulence in a crowded elevator. No, it's not an easy thing to deal with, but we come her to get support from our friends who understand us and can help with our therapy.
...or the essence thereof..

LOL I mean I understand the want to have something to track -- I've been following hurricanes for a while, I just haven't posted for a year or so, so I understand that, but to actually want to have it back... :/

also, LOL to the second portion :P

Sometimes the best way to get acclimated to the water is to jump right in.

Ok sorry.

Also, just the way you conjugate verbs in spanish.. the "____-s" ending on the verbs means YOU.
So in fact I said I was glad he survived Gaston.

If I said I am glad gaston survived it would be...

Me alegro de que sobreviviera gaston ... notice, no S on the end of the verb.

I'll have graphics again, after the 11:00 pm advisory. It's been a few days since I've done them because of a busy schedule.

Quoting poknsnok:
gaston is gastgone

Really, just because there isn't a lot of convection around it doesn't mean its surface circulation isn't organized.

Quoting KanKunKid:


Yeah but no S on the end of the verb could also mean you're Cuban.

jajajaja I actually laughed out loud =)

Gaston needs more convection or he'll go poof.

Quoting PcolaDan:


What I hate is that most of them end up in a dump somewhere. Old hardwoods should go to a lumber mill or sold to craftsmen as logs. Don't just let them go to waste.

Halifax lost a LOT of trees in Juan, but many were salvaged for lumber. In Point Pleasant Park (which looked like a bomb hit it afterwards) some were made into park benches.

I can speak a little spanish, after taking my first year of that language this past year.

Si, te entiendo. "me alegro de que sobreviviera gaston" = I am happy that Gaston survives. Correct?

Yay for spanglish/espangles :D

They just talk with half their words. Especially in the RD, the letter S is virtually non existent! (Even in the middle of words.) lol

Quoting ElvisVomDrachenbrau:
Hi everyone!
First post for me so be gentle!
I live in Halifax and I had been keeping a close eye on Earl as it approached. I was here for Juan as well and although this wasn't as bad, it wasn't pleasant. We didn't lose power, though many have including the houses on the next street behind us. Took a drive through peninsular Halifax this afternoon and it was quite similar to the aftermath of Juan with many of the older trees down.

EVD

Sorry to hear my old home town took it on the chin again. Here in Yarmouth we got off lightly; didn't even lose power and I haven't seen any damage. Considering we were in the cross-hairs for several days, we were lucky.

Quoting HurricaneGeek:
As of now, who has more ACE Bonnie or Gaston?

They're tied, with 0.3675 apiece. They both last roughly 18 hours, both with minimal 35 knot winds the entire time.

Quoting kingzfan104:


thats not true at all. the we form of verbs also ends in s and so does the we form in Spain as well.

true true true.
we is -amos -emos or imos

and vosotros is something like eis and ais I guess but we don't use that too often. Only to say things like
Como estas?
bien y vos?

but you are right 100% =)

Greetings all.
I see that Gaston is still there, but barely.
Though the NHC has him at a high chance of development.
In any case, he continues to move WNW, enough to miss the Islands initially I think.
But I begin to wonder if he will ever truly live up to his billing?
Needs to dump the dry air, and find more convection....

Not really:
What would make the phrase sound like hurrisat understood it would be a comma after sobreviviera.
Making the verb plural or singular doesn't change its meaning.
