Keeping an Eye on Ana and Bill

June – Nada. July – Zilch. First two weeks of August – more of the same. But now on the 15th of August, the 76th day of the 2009 hurricane season, we have not one, but two tropical storms to keep an eye on.

Ana is first in line. It could impact the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico on Sunday or Monday, but the are forecasting it to remain a tropical storm.

Bill is right behind and has the potential to be a stronger storm. The current forecast calls for it to be a hurricane by Wednesday afternoon.

It wasn’t that many years ago that this area of Florida was criss-crossed by three hurricanes. We pay attention.
