Tropical Storm Update

July 30, 2020

Developments are rapid in the Caribbean.

Absurd start to 2020. Reasonable chance of seeing 10 (TEN) tropical cyclones before August thanks to a very aclimatological chance near Africa in July. Don’t let anyone tell you this is normal- before 2005 (“only” 7), the record was 5. Send 🍕 & 🍺 pic.twitter.com/6nXBAdl2Yf

National #Hurricane Center currently gives 50% chance of tropical cyclone formation for low pressure area southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. If it gets named, it would be #Josephine. Current record for earliest Atlantic 'J' storm is Jose on August 22, 2005. pic.twitter.com/vj2sTiSwYI

Looks like another beach-eater.

I second the recommendation DOG had about G.M.Gaul’s book The Geography of Risk: Epic Storms, Rising Seas, and the Cost of America’s Coasts to learn about the cost of taxpayer-subsidized beach maintenance and replenishment.

Not only are seaside communities going to run out of money to pay for beach restoration (if they haven’t already), the global shortage of commercial sand is going to make it much more expensive in the budgetable future.
