Roberto,
Don’t you love these fish storms?
BTW. I saw a commercial over the weekend that Guinness is the official beer of Notte Dame, the Irish.

Re: Fish storms
Captain Hook:
I must admit I was worried about (and remain worried about) both "Pete" and "Rose". You will well remember the October storms that do "loopti loops"; a technical meteorological term much like "fish storms" and these fish storms offen behave like Aboriginal boomerangs.
As someone previously posted, NOAA/NHC has a sense of humor in naming these two "Peter" and "Rose". I always kinda like Rose (a/k/a "Mr. Hustle"). He loved the game. But I am disappointed by what he did.

Sadly, I just looked at Peter's projected path and it looks like Bermuda may not think of Peter as a "fish storm". They are going to get TS winds or higher this weekend.

Re: Fish storms
Captain Hook:
The system just off the African coast right now (soon to be called "Sam") at about 30W/10N is one that should worry us all. It is far enough south and East at this point so that it can make a run right up the slot (a/k/a "Hurricane Alley"). Sadly, I do not think soon to be Sam will be a "fish storm". I'm getting an itch in the back of my neck that says that Sam is going to be a "Florida storm". I hope I am very wrong.

Re: Fish storms
If there’s a “fish storm” in the mid-Atlantic and there’s no one there to hear it does it still make a sound.
