Hurricane Paloma heads for Cuba
Yep, a hurricane, in the gulf, this late in the season.
I thought November was part of hurricane season. In fact, a few years ago, we were on vacation in FL in mid-November and our flight left Orlando the day before a 'cane hit.
November is unusual, but not unheard of. There have even been Atlantic hurricanes in December and January.
Late hurricanes are rare. But a bit of trivia: there has been a hurrican in the Gulf of Mexico in every month over the last century.
Blizzard in S. Dakota, Hurricane in Cuba. Interesting contrast.
And in Korea, not one "wintry" day yet. And that to follow a mild summer. My first time in Korea in the early 90's there was a set schedule to the seasons such that there were nationally known/adhered to days for turning on and off heating boilers, etc., and a monsoon season that was pretty accurately predicted. Those winters were bone chilling - on a good day. Summers? No way to sleep from the heat and humidity. Forget about feeling dry till fall arrived. Now?
Now... this summer was mild, last winter was mild... every winter since 2002 has been. Well, except for the three weeks of record snow two winters ago...
I feel for the deniers. I have never understood how people get lost in their dogmas and their politics. You look at the evidence and listen to what it tells you.
Best Hopes for Opened Eyes,
Cheers
