I'm loving this. We here in NC and the rest of the southern coastal states have known about this storm for a number of days, yet it was only when NOAA gave this storm a name that the major media gave any credence to this storm. AND what they are saying is this...Is this first name storm, this far in advance of the hurricane season which starts on the 1st of June, any indication of the future of the Atlantic hurricane season to come? First of all, this storm is a sub-tropical storm and though they aren't going to explain that, these storms are formed when unusually COLD air meets up with the warm air. Not likely to be a part of the global warming scene, but when you add a name to it and then not explain what the storm really is, it is clearly something that those who are global warmist can shout about.

Yeah, this storm has a name, but had it been before 2002, it wouldn't have even been named. That's when they started naming sub-tropical storms. But the news outlets are saying that this is only the 17th named storm this early in the season. Okay, let's give that a look and see what it means. Besides the fact that they have only named this type of storm since 2002, before that, only actual hurricanes, or tropical storms were named, and that was only since 1951. So, since 1951 to 2007, there have only been 17 named storms and this storm is the first since 2002 that has been named with this status as a sub-tropical one. So what happened before 1951? Are we to believe that tropical storms or even sup-tropical storms have only happened since then? Only if you have one and only one thing in mind and that is to make people believe that what is happening in this world today has never happened before.

I've heard it said before and now I believe that it's true that most people only believe in the history of what's happened in the span of their own lives.
 
Our local news did a great job explaining sub-tropical v. tropical, but it may help to have The National Hurricane Center in your backyard :D
That said, there were reporters scattered all up and down the coast from Jacksonville to Daytona to report the effects of Andrea as she comes on shore...there were none, except high winds that resulted in rip currents and great surfing!
I do think this hurricance season will be rough, though and we still have a lot of blue tarped roofs around here from Wilma a year and a half ago.

The local weather conjurers have explained it a bit differently. They say it's "sub-tropical" because the waters it's rotating over are too cold to support tropical type weather.
However, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtropical_storm

Kat, to make it much simpler, a sub-tropical storm is formed when abnormally cool air comes in contact with warm air. This really throws a monkey wrench into the global warming trend if you want to use one of these as an example of the hurricane season. However, if you want to stress the global warming theory, you just keep talking about how weird it is to get one of these storms before the season begins. Someone's got an agenda here and we know who it is.
 
Well we all know Bush controls the weather. He's either trying to punish someone for something or maybe just flexing his muscles to get his way.
I mean look what he did to NOLA. How anyone can support that man for trying to drown all those poor black Democrats is beyond me. But, I suppose I stray to far towards the Podium... :)
