Lows forming in Jacksonville. Sure, there's nothing wrong with the weather.

I was right.

Chilly water and some nasty jellyfish in Cocoa Beach today.

-------------------------
I was right.

Hey Cole, what jellyfish are out there? I've never had any reaction to jelly's, even pulled man-o-war off my leg with plenty of pain but minimal redness. Whatever I hit with the top of my foot on Friday left a serious mark. Nice red purple blob about 3" and it was a pretty intense sting. Strongest I've ever felt from a jelly.

It's gotten Griffin twice in Two days and they are nasty stings. What ever they are, they stay near the bottom and the are smart enough to not get washed up on shore. He said they body felt hard, as did a local girl that got hit. I really have no idea?



-------------------------
I was right.

Three named storms before the season started. One storm formed from the Carolinas.
One has formed over Jacksonville. Two storms hit the gulf coast within five days of each other, one a Cat 4. We are at the letter M and tomorrow is September first, technically, we are just reaching the active part of hurricane season. Iowa had a storm with sustained 100 mph wind that caused $4 billion in damage.

Has every one of these happened before? Yes.

Have they all happened within the first half of hurricane season? Nope.

-------------------------
I was right.

This particular pattern is actually not that rare at this time of the year...the low formed further west and travelled across the state pulling gulf moisture energy with it. The rain yesterday morning felt "tropical" in nature and checking the radar confirmed the counterclockwise rotation signature over north central Florida. Seems to me these happen once or twice a year around this time.

Clearly this is due to global climate change. No debate since lows forming off the Carolinas has never happened.

This made me LOL..... Mic driving to Strong Island?

Models really pumped the brakes on the next 2 systems coming off Africa... we'll see

Steady drizzle up here in Ocala!

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

Update - thorough groundsoaking RN.

^^^Man, does that explain alot....

iIndeed. it IS all connected!

YES it does LOL

Pro Puppy-Killer Party 2024

gotta go with Dubdub on this one Coal. I have been keeping track. it is not unusual and the data supports it. I have posted about it before. More and more tropical storms are being born out of this area. It is connected to the freshwater spring off Flagler Beach, and I think the repeated draining of inland springs from Nestle and friends could be a factor. No one seems to want to address it, but I am certain it is all connected. Discuss,

dont you remember the noname storm?

5/5

I remember surfing Slambasso in the middle of that thing, we went in after a set of like 6 stairs with snapped jagger edges floated by us. If I remember correctly the 20 mile buoy went over 20 ft that night.
