Hurricane Tracking

If, and that "if" feels like more of a reality, the impending December 21, 2012 event is to really turn out to be something major and not a fluke like Y2k, then we need to get more into hurricane tracking and I'm not talking about monitoring the latitude and longitude of any one particular hurricane. I'm talking about the big picture. Is there a change in hurricane dynamics of what we're now experiencing verses what history shows us?



Let me get straight to the answer. It is definitely YES for both tornadoes and hurricanes!



And what's worst is that scientists tell us that hurricanes are particularly senstivie to sun spot activity or what's known as coronal mass ejections (CME's). What is bad about that is that 2005 was the inactive or quiet phase of the sun spot activity. Quiet you say? And 2012 is to be the peak in sun spot activity? What in the world can we expect if that's the case? You telling me I need to move inland? :-)



Let me review the 2005 hurricane record for you briefly:



>We set a record for number of total storms with 28 (previous record was 21)

>We set a record for the number of actual hurricanes with 15 ( previous record was 12)

>We set a record for the number of category 5 hurricanes with 4 (previous record was 2)

>A December hurricane (Epsilon) set a record for lasting 10 days

>A January hurricane (Zeta) set a record for duration as well.



Need I also mention Rita and Katrina? And because Wilma did not hit the United States it got little press even though Wilma was the fourth category 5 hurricane slamming into the Yucatan Peninsula killing 63 people and doing nearly $30,000,000 in damage.



Are you seeing what the scientists are seeing? They are tracking hurricanes as they relate to sun spot activity and what concerns them is what might happen in 2010 to 2012. Key an eye open!
