Key West 2005 Post-Wilma Pictures Featured
We visited Key West shortly after Hurricane Wilma bulldozed her way through, leaving large numbers of cars flooded, some still with signs in the windows meant to let tow truck operators know they were submerged and need to be removed. LOTS of tree debris and damage around. What a mess!...
Tropical Storm Debby has been named by the National Hurricane Center this afternoon after hurricane hunters investigated Invest 96L and found a solid closed circulation, with maximum winds of 50mph and gusts up to 65mph. All interests along the Gulf of Mexico coast should closely monitor this system.
Debby is drifting north at 5mph. The storm has brought heavy rains to Western Cuba, South Florida, and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula over the past two days, but the disturbance's heaviest rains are lo...
Activity is firing up South of Cuba and the NHC has a fresh new circle around the area of convection. All eyes are on the system as it has a chance to develop over the next day or two as it moves closer to Florida. The Xtreme Weather Team will keep you posted and we'll be on high alert for a potential chase - the first of the 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season. ...
