October Tropical Developments

[PelicanBill]

To prove November is not always safe... we have TD 29.  Heading west with an unusual coast to land on. Surprisingly no Cruise Ports to be impacted, But Nicaragua and Honduras aren't used to this and have weak infrastructure.

Stay strong Roatan!  West End is one of my favorite beaches!

This is now a Tropical Storm.  Pelican Bill will probably move it to November.

 

I don't know if our weather forecasters are trying to scare us or not, but they are predicting this to move north by the end of the week.  Will it strengthen again????  

Our weather and water is starting to cool down......

I won't start a November thread until there is a reason... being optimistic?

See my comment on this on the named thread for Eta.  I seriously doubt it will have any life after Central America.

On the other side of the world.... Typhoon Goni is the strongest cyclone storm to ever make landfall, hitting the Philippines.  195mph winds.  Extra noteworthy since so many of our favorite cruise staff are from there.

Saying a prayer for the Philippine people.
