Tropical Storm Hannah

[Cry Havoc]

Florida residents, keep an eye out. She's expected to strengthen a lot over the next 48 hours and may become a major hurricane.



Not as well organized as Gustav, but she has some nasty storm clusters.

Pressure is 1000 mb. I just hope no one loses sight of this storm due to Gusty blowing about down there in the Gulf.

I thought this was a thread on Hannah Storm.

Little miss TS Hanna is getting a little closer to being a Hurricane. As per TWC she is east of FL. Max sustained winds at 50 mph. Cat 1 has sustained winds at 74-95 mph. With things the way they are in the Atlantic, how soon can she become a Cat 1 hurricane?

Hurricane Hannah now looking stronger.

Besides the alliteration, she has a lot of positives for storm development.
