As long as I can remember I’ve been interested in the Weather, I think if I didn’t lean towards the creative so much and was better at academia I probably would have got into meteorology, so it has been with great interest that i have tracked this years hurricane season in the tropical atlantic. Currently this is the most active season on record with no less than four hurricanes right now spinning around in the Pacific and Atlantic tropics.

One of them Hurricane Rita has been building in the atlantic now for about 5 days and worringly for America looks like its going to do a Katrina to the east coast of Texas. Just one loook at the sea temperature in the Gulf of Mexico and you see that its of significant temperature to sporn a Catagory 5!! Hurricanes of that scale produce winds of over 175mph and cuase total devestation…

So if you live in Texas right now i’d be getting fairly nervous!!!

Hurricane Rita September 20th 5.15pm UTC
