Another Hurricane hits Florida

 

When it rains, it pours. I can't believe Florida got hit again by another hurricane. The meteorologist in me is astounded by this highly improbable circumstance. My meteorological explanation for this is that the wind patterns and high pressure systems that caused Charley still existed to help push Frances across Florida. If that theory is true, then there might be a good chance than Ivan may also hit Florida.

The Hurricane Center still has a long way to go before in being able to predict within the mile where the eye will hit. For both Charley and Frances, they were off about 80 miles within a day of landfall. On Thursday they started showing Frances' predicted path, and it showed the path crossing right over Orlando. My brother who lives near Orlando had an interesting thought about this. On Thursday, he thought this is actually good because that means it has practically no chance of directly hitting Orlando. Well, he was right, the Hurricane's eye passed about 80 miles south of Orlando.
