2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season

@jeanne-mayell   yes... it is here... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/08/17/hurricanes-two-systems-brewing-atlantic-genevieve-forms-pacific/3380960001/

@jeanne-mayell

Even with the Fujiwhara Effect, two storms in the northern hemisphere would still be spinning counterclockwise. The photo in the USA Today article shows this. There are also several animations online of the effect, and none show a cyclone’s spin reversing direction. With the Coriolis Effect, that sort of phenomenon is impossible.

Bright Opal is still correct though; it looks like an infinity symbol.

Looks like Louisiana is going to get hit tomorrow by Marco and somewhere in the gulf for Laura  a few days later.  Because they are back to back hurricanes, first responders  may not be able to do much rescuing and power restoration may be delayed for many days.

Stay safe Gulf friends.

@lovendures

My third home state so to speak. All of my mother's French nieces and nephews (my maternal cousins) live their with all their families.  Their areas all rode out Katrina and the others but my gosh how they keep getting hit!.

I figure i just keep the "the whole world in his hands " in my thoughts every day because it feels like with COVID-19 and the crazy weather and climate change and political uproars after another, it's always something.

Pray and release and hold in our hearts always each and every one every where! 

@michele-b

So true Michele!  The magnitude of the issues effecting the whole planet is exhausting.  

Heck, even the simple act of wearing a mask in public can take be a challenge at times, especially when trying to communicate.  

I hope your relatives are able to stay safe and that you are safe from the fires.

@lovendures

Blessings to you dear lady. You have such a big and wonderful heart for everyone ? 

@michele-b praying for you and all of your cousins in Louisiana.  Much love to you!

@jeanne-mayell @coyote  i have noticed that the projected paths (Cone of Probability) of the two storms are curving, one clockwise, the other, un-clockwise.

@unk-p

Thanks Unk!

I love that you saw the cone of probability for this already unique occurrence!

Spiraling in opposite directions! Boy isn't that SO a sign and symbol for the incredible polarities of these times!!!

@michele-b praying for you and all of your cousins in Louisiana.  Much love to you!

@jeanne-mayell @coyote  i have noticed that the projected paths (Cone of Probability) of the two storms are curving, one clockwise, the other, un-clockwise.

Nervously watching the forecast here in Houston. Today was the third anniversary of Hurricane Harvey hitting here.  Harvey was all about the rainfall- 50 inches in one day.  I remember watching a news crew on a boat on a flooded highway.  A man, who was up to his chin in water, yelled them over to him for help.  When they got to him, he said he couldn't swim, and was standing on the very top of his truck.  The "truck" he was standing on top of turned out to be an 18 wheeler.

 Hurricane Laura seems to be more about wind than rain, projected wind-speeds of 125 mph, or more.  

@unk-p

Keeping you all un my thoughts and prayers.  I'm watching the news and weather and its looking like Port Arthur is the final point of discussion. I used to have a dear couple friends there, high school classmates of my mother's. They have passed on but all of their beloved children and grandchildren are there  

Prayers for all of those who are in the eye of the storm and all areas that might be affected. Laura has been upgraded to a catastropic Category 4 by 5 pm. (4 soon)

My heart is already hurting with tears in my eyes for all of you everywhere in Texas and Louisiana where my mother's family lives.

Raising my vibration and holding space using my personal energy and heart connections for all of you.

May you and yours be safe and stay safe dear Unc. P.

Hurricane Laura has just strengthened to a Cat. 4.  

This is a monster of a storm and about to hit on the TX/LA border.

Laura's maximum sustained winds jumped from 75 mph to 140 mph in the 24 hours ending 1 p.m. CDT Wednesday. That increase in maximum sustained winds easily meets the definition of rapid intensification in a hurricane.

Catastrophic storm surge and damaging winds will affect areas near where Laura makes landfall.

May our Gulf Coast friends stay safe and protected during the storm and in its aftermath. We will keep you in prayers and light during our Circle of Light meditation today.

Al Roker said the storm surge in some areas will be unsurvivable. It will be happening at night so nobody will see it coming  either.  The window to evacuate is nearly over.

@lovendures  and Laura is approaching Cat 5 status with winds of 155 mph  CAt 5 status is 157  - prayers for all in the path of this storm and surge.

The Weather Channel is saying it might hit a cat 5 right before landfall.  It keeps intensifying and is at 150 sustained winds. ( Can you imagine?)

Storm surge now expected to go 40 miles inland. It was expected to be 30 miles a few hours ago.  It is also a large storm.  

@journeywithme2

Looks like we posted at the same time, but your winds are more unto date. 

I hope everyone is watching this storm because it will continue to be an issue for many states around the nation.  Even New England has been mentioned.

So yesterday, I got an alert on my phone about how tropical storm Josephine is forming in the Atlantic. It gave me a little jolt, which I have learned could be a little intuitive prompt to look into things further. It made me remember our thread here, so I decided to throw some cards and what I received was very similar to what I threw over a week ago, which I thought was really interesting.

To recap, for my first throw, I got The Magus and wrote down that the storm may be "transformative", perhaps have a message for us and be a catalyst for healing.

Then yesterday, I threw cards and got Prince of Cups and also Aeon. Really weird cards (to me) to get for a storm. My interpretation based on the text (which I often look up to see what resonates) was that the storm may be a time of judgement; regeneration; transformation, love and change. Again, not sure how that applies to a storm - though perhaps it indicates that *when* the storm hits it may do physical damage, or perhaps usher in the beginning of a period of more intense change as the election approaches? 

Just following up to the cards some of us pulled last week on these storms. It seems like Josephine will indeed be "transformative" in destructive ways; and the Prince of Cups and Aeon interpretations I made earlier may be more accurate, with the storm ushering in more intense (climate) change and societal changes as the election approaches.

Also, @coyote interpreted:

"I interpret the Prince of Cups as indicating lack of reliability, or doesn't follow through. The fact that Josephine will fizzle out without making landfall would explain that card. As for the Aeon, that could be a warning that this storm marks the beginning of a new violent phase in the hurricane season, and that we better pay attention to Josephine even if it doesn't hit land? This would especially be the case if Josephine strengthens into at least a category 3 hurricane."

We now have Nana  expected to become  a hurricane soon and Omar off the east coast moving away from land.  We also have two tropical waves out in the Atlantic. It is only September 1st.

As you note, Omar won’t make landfall.  Nana is headed toward Central America. Dodged the bullet on those two.

I went ahead and threw some more cards (Thoth Deck) on the upcoming storm names. I skipped Nana and Omar since we already know they're not impacting the US. I also tried to meditate on each storm just to see if I could visualize anything. I'm still pretty new at this, so any thoughts or feedback is always helpful to me. 

Paulette: While I was trying to visualize, I got a visual of a big, wide, and strong storm. I couldn't tell where it was, just that it was pretty massive looking. I pulled the Ace of Wands card, this card says powerful to me, lots of electricity and strength. 

Rene: Visually, I got a much smaller picture, so much smaller I'm wondering if this one even becomes an actual hurricane. I did see an eye, so maybe just smaller width wise. But I got the 2 of Cups, Love for this storm. Based on all this, I don't think this will be a major storm. 

Sally: Visually I didn't really get anything for this storm. The card I pulled was 7 of Swords, Futility. To me, it visually looks like the large sword is moving against the other storms, or against the normal flow. I don't believe this will be a full-blown storm, possibly just a tropical storm or a hurricane that doesn't impact land. 

Teddy: Visually I saw a storm in the Gulf of Mexico, it was a fair size, heading towards the FL panhandle. Possibly developed off the coast of either Central or South America. The card I pulled was the Prince of Swords, I read it as disorganized chaos. I'm hoping the storm itself is disorganized and chaotic, but I got the feeling it was the people on the land that were the chaotic ones. As always, I hope I'm wrong on this one. But it feels like a serious storm.

This is a fascinating practice. I am intrigued by this post. So glad you joined us a while back as you add much to our thinking as well as our discussions.
