Say Hello to T.S. Fred, heading to Florida.
Hi Fred! Bring us some more rain and not too much wind! (We've had plenty of rain but the aquifer can use more.)
Review of Fred predictions:
@sistermoon said "Fast but Powerful"
@deetoo said " Fred is angry, unpredictable. Not seeing major damage."
Hello TS Henri!
Henri, Fred and Grace are all on the Hurricane map at the same time.
Henri is slow with no clear path yet and near Bermuda.
Linda is in the Pacific and still a Hurricane now Cat 2.

Galveston, Texas takes a hit in early fall, presumably from a hurricane or large storm. (Baba)Predicted 6.16.21.
Baba, Galveston is the barrier island to Houston, which has many people and houses still trying to recover from Hurricane Harvey. Any new hurricane hitting there this soon after that one would be a very big deal. Is there any info you can add to this prediction? Thank you!
According to our local Eastern North Carolina meteorologist:
Grace is supposed to move into the Texas/Mexico border area. So depending on where it ends up, could that be the Galveston area!?
Henri is supposed to linger around Bermuda, then head North, supposed won't impact any land. Fingers crossed.
@avon Galveston is closer to the Louisiana border, than to the Mexican border- but thanks for telling about Grace (and for starting this topic). I hadn't realized that it was headed towards any part of TX.

I tried unsuccessfully to meditate on it and see if I got anything new. I hope for the sake of the folks in that area that this prediction doesn’t come to pass. If I get anything new, I will be sure to update it.
Watch out New England! There is a "distinct possibility" Henri will arrive in your area as a Hurricane this weekend.

Hi Everyone!!
Here are some of our prediction on Henri made in June of 2021.
The ones that stand out to me are Elsa, Henri (I get the East Coast), Odette*, Sam, Victor and/or Wanda. Odette is a big one (on the Gulf Coast/Texas), Elsa less so but still notable. (GradualGoddess)
Henri stands out to me. (Baba)
Hurricane flooding and storms that sweep across Florida, Texas, and the New England Coast, as well as Bermuda. (Andrew Posey)
Pay attention to Henri! It intensifies and stays high for a while. I think there will be a photo taken of the words “Oh Henri” on some plywood used to board up a building. (Lovendures)
Right now Henri is on track to impact New England Sunday or Monday as a strong TS or Small Hurricane. It already circled Bermuda earlier this week.
@lovendures Fred dumped a lot of rain here in my sector, spawned flooding and a few tornadoes. I have a strong feeling we will get a lot more than that in October...much like Opal did in 1995. Not sure what the name would be. A good 7 hours from the coast is nothing to a major hurricane when it wants to visit here.
@journeywithme2 Similar case here, I'm near Wilmington, NC and the forecasters just this morning said we have had the rainiest summer on record, ever! They're warning what that means for peak hurricane season starting. If the ground is already saturated, a hurricane hitting will lead to devastating flooding.
@avon I'm in southern Wilmington, half way between Monkey Junction & Carolina Beach, but haven't read what they are saying about impacts, simply because of how long I've been here. I have seen so many storms here, and it breaks my heart to see the old live oaks topple when we're saturated already before a storm takes aim. We started out so dry this year that we were asked to stop lawn irrigation, and now we can do so because Mother Nature has been dousing us routinely.
@cindy It's all so foreign to me, I grew up in Phoenix, so I still get excited and run outside or to the window when it rains.
I moved to NC right after Florence hit the area. It's so green and beautiful, but even that can have a price with mother nature.
@avon I love rain even though I was born and raised and live in a rainy place. I'm always like, "bring it on"--- while telling people not to buy/build in a flood plain. It frustrates me when I see news about people suffering from flooding and there they are, living in what used to be a wetland before developers drained it (temporarily). There's no point fighting Mother Nature, she will win.
I hate seeing big trees fall, too. Are you sure they are Live Oaks?
Around here (a few hundred miles south of you) it's not the Live Oaks that usually fall to saturated ground + wind, it's the Laurel Oaks. Laurel Oaks can be huge and magnificent, but they have shallow root systems and a lifespan of only around 80 years. When they fall, it's usually near their time to go. But Live Oaks live 300 years, have very deep roots and are more resistant.
Thirty years ago there were 11 old Laurel Oaks on my property. Over the years some came down in storms; some were taken down because it was obvious they were getting ready to fall on something. I was very sad about the ones we had taken down, but they were in the late stages of a natural death process anyway. We replanted with Live Oaks on arborists' recommendations. There are also some younger laurel oaks here that exist because I was pro-active and left them alone to grow a couple decades ago, realizing that their elders were on borrowed time.
@ana @cindy i have never seen a Live Oak come down from a storm or hurricane. Even when Hurricane Ike shattered most of the trees in Houston, the Live Oaks hardly lost a twig. Southern Magnolias and Palms also held up well, probably bc they evolved in places with that have big tropical storms on the reg. There is a Live Oak tree in Houston that has been here since before Christopher Columbus. It lives in the rear parking lot of a casual fast-food restaurant on Westheimer St. Sigh.
Dear Northeast friends,
There are currently many Northeast members of the forum anticipating Henri's arrival. We are thinking of you all and will hold you in prayer and light. Stay safe everyone and let us know how you are doing when you are able.
I know @Jeanne-Mayell is busy trying to prepare her home for Henri as are many of you. It is uncommon (though not unheard of) for the Northeast to face hurricanes so please be mindful of what weather forecasters are saying in your area.
Everyone else who lives in a Hurricane prone area, please know many intuitive members on our site are predicting Hurricanes well into fall. If you live in the Gulf Coast and any Atlantic Hurricane prone area, please make sure you are prepared well ahead of time.
Sending lots of Love and light to everyone.
@lovendures This morning you wrote to me and asked if I was ready for the hurricane. I wrote back, no, because I hadn't thought that New England meant us. So I looked up the projected path of the hurricane and we were smack in the middle of it.
Called around for sandbags because we are at the bottom of a half mile long hill, and the last storm (two days ago) caused a deluge in our yard. No sandbags available for 200 miles.
We were not harmed by Sandy or Irene, although our woods turned into a lake and some kids from another neighborhood got a canoe and showed up in our back yard, which was hilarious.
But this is supposed to be the storm of the century, and it's coming after a few days of hard rain, so I am concerned about it, about our property and the trees, the beloved trees.
I'd welcome any prayers of protection over our property and our selves. And the trees!
@jeanne-mayell, I'm praying for your protection and for all people, wildlife, trees and property that are in Henri's path.
Much love to you.
