We also need to look at Peter. Many also saw Peter being a big storm, perhaps piggy-backing or coming on the heels of Odette. I hope we are wrong about Odette. I know there is more coming, we are barley halfway through the season.
Some us saw later fall storms. So that might mean a hurricane name we didn't even think about when we tried to read the hurricanes.
This year instead of using a Greek Alphabet, they will be using a list of new names in case we need it. At the rate we are currently going through names, I think we will need it. Here is the secondary list in case anyone wants to meditate on it.
- Adria
- Braylen
- Caridad
- Deshawn
- Emery
- Foster
- Gemma
- Heath
- Isla
- Jacobus
- Kenzie
- Lucio
- Makayla
- Nolan
- Orlanda
- Pax
- Ronin
- Sophie
- Tayshaun
- Viviana
I’m getting resonance from Braylen. Let’s not forget that last year, Hurricane Iota achieved category 4 status in mid-November. So even the late season storms can pack a punch.
My local forecaster talked about the storm development in the gulf. Most likely to become Nicholas over the next day or two. Based on the path, I think this may be the Galveston storm @baba predicted as it's supposed to hit around the Texas & Louisiana border next weekend.

@ana When I read your remarks.. I heard "Odette is Opal's cousin"... and will most likely travel from off the coast of Africa like Opal did. I remember how hard Opal hit my area.... with high winds, rain blowing sideways, causing a lot of trees to fall and lots of localized flooding where I was in NW Ga. I remember I put our pet goat in the bathroom and bath tub to keep him safe as he was only about 9 months old, and he ate bar soap and chewed up the shower curtain and generally mad a mess. The next morning some of the huge roots of my old pecan trees were pulling up from the depths of the ground.. roots as big around as my thighs together. I remember gathering stones to weigh those roots back down in to the ground and it worked! Of course... it was just a few and those trees were so old that as big as what you could see above ground was...it only 1/3 of the root systems volume underground. I was going through a nasty divorce at the time. I remember telling my trees...we didn't expect this did we...but.. not gonna let it kill us.... no one to help? That's ok.. we got this... and somehow? We did. I really hated that I had to sell off my dream home (remodeled 1930's farmhouse and 25 acres with pecan,walnut,black walnut,peach,pear,apple trees and lots of blackberry, dewberry bushes , muscadine and scuppernong and wild concord grape vines, as well as a prime garden spot and hen house and pen and lush pasture. I had beautiful heirloom flowers as well..roses,lilacs,4 o'clocks, rose of sharon, snowball bush and more. It really was my dream home and where I also started living my dream of being a veterinary technician. I have come to love and appreciate this place I am in now...but... that home? Will always hold my heart... I put such deep roots down in that place and community. It was devastating to have to leave the life I had built when the ex's perfidy and double life came to light. I know, I know.. TMI... and got wound off track.. the point WAS: "Opal was a very nasty mean girl and Odette is her cousin"
Say Hello to Nicholas!
T.S. Nicholas is off of Mexico heading n towards Texas. Looks like a good rain event for Texas and LA. Please pay attention if Nicholas is headed to your area.

Regarding Odette.
IF Odette ends up being a big storm, then she is next. Well she is next if she is tiny too I guess. haha. Peter is also seen as being large by some. I hope Odette is NOT large or strong. It is possible Odette is important because she ushers in the back to back ( perhaps back again) storms. The best thing that can happen with Odette is that we wait and watch and in the end say: " We were worried about that??!?! Odette was a nothing burger".
Hoping the O in Odette means NOTHING! Zero!
Keep your eye on Nicholas if you are in his area forecast zone.

Oh my god. OMG! Well, I am glad you had a place like that and I got to read about it. And am glad you work with animals. What a treasure you'd lived.
Currently there are two disturbances out there likely to become named storms.
One is on the coast of Belize and the other is on the coast of West Africa.
Which one (if either) will become Odette?
And the answer is: neither.
The one that was in Central America is now TS Nicholas and the one off Africa fizzled out and disippated.
@ana I get a bad feeling about fall hurricanes and COVID peaking at the same time this year.
@jeanne-mayell Only 6 years there before the dream fell apart- chose the wrong spouse once more... or the right one for lessons I had still to learn. Either way the property had to be divided and my portion sold as he and she moved in to the other house on the property we had made for his parents... and living next door to them and their anger and determination to make my life hell forever made me say .. tear these roots up and move. Oddly enough, after joining ancestry, I found I moved to where my great-great grandfather and grandmother lived at the end of the Civil War. Also found GGG's grave headstone as well as the children who died along with her in the great Flu Pandemic. Which I find a bit ironic.. being in the same county/area in this Pandemic.
@ana I am not wedded to the names of the hurricanes in my own predictions. The name Odette is a big robust and imposting name, so that might be why it came through to me and others as a big storm, when it might not be.
But my intuition doesn't usually happen around names. During that RTF night in June, we just tried as an experiment to see what we might get by name. Since I have never done predictions that way, nor have the others, we won't know if it works until the season is over.
The most reliable way I've found to help a wide range of people to read the future is the timeline method that I use on RTF nights. We used that method too in June, and I did see a large hurricane that was on both Florida coasts, perhaps in South Florida. I don't know what its name is. I hope it doesn't happen.
