The Trouble With El Nino................... the Hype is a Real Thing.............Godzilla El Nino? More Anticipation Than Star Wars! The Empire Strikes Back!!

 


No matter when I go on X it's El Nino Time! All day, all night. Okay, the Oklahoma Tornado did knock it off it's throne, but it bounced back fast!

The discussion is awesome. The discussion is delicious. But the hyperbole ...oh my goodness, send help!

The search for some new name for it has been exhausting to watch.

My gosh, just saying "El Nino is coming!" Wakes me up faster than a Triple Expresso! Seriously....

But it's the Super El Nino! I've heard words that normally would only be used to describe a Miss Universe who became a Super Star Singer with her own show larger than anything Taylor Swift could dream of and well you know she definitely has wild dreams. 

I have read, watched and scrolled. I have bookmarked. I have wondered.......

I have stayed out of the fray as an old friend of mine always pointed out to me it was good to do sometimes. He had a brother that drove him crazy, it's a long story. But may I say........there's a chance this El Nino could be remembered the way 1997 "Mother of All El Ninos" was so who knows????

Going along with that frame of mind, I asked Google for advice. No, I never use Google advice as I always make up my own words as that is what I do but some were interesting...


Hmnnn  I don't know.
We are dealing with the Atlantic Basin here.
Well Mostly...
I tried again........


Ocean's Relentless Stalker seems wrong..
..sort of sneaky, passive agressive.
Who wants a passive agressive El Nino?

Okay I will go with my literary history.
I do so love Tennessee Williams 

"The Big Daddy of El Ninos!!"

You read it here first!!


Okay. 
I think Big Daddy would have a lot to say here.
No promises.
No BS
No lies

Just tell it like it is...


Hard Truths on El Nino:

It's not about the number of hurricanes........
...its about the strength of the ones that make landfall.
Quiet SW Carib.... 
...doesn't stop Rapid Intensifiation close in to Florida
Or Louisiana
Or Mississippi

There are just so many factors that matter. Quieter seasons with "no neck storms" as Big Daddy would say are often boring, exhausting as a weak parade of weak storms trace each other in the Atlantic. No huge ACE and everyone holds their breath and waits, and waits watching each meager wave that doesn't do much until one does.  Think Melissa!   Think Andrew!   Think Michael!  Think Camille!

As I always double check everything before I post I checked and yes they were El Nino Years! So according to Google that seems to suddenly have a strong opinion!! That's all you need to know!


Every year there are predictions that seem set in stone, and yet they are merely thrown out into the online world hoping to get noticed, to gain traction and to elevate the algorithim! To keep the public interested and coming back for more...

Hot Water in the MDR (remember that one???)
Low Wind Shear in the MDR and then there was the Saharan Dust from Hell!

In truth something always pops up. Some wrench in the plan, some wrinkle the forecast did not see coming. A vigorous volcano blows in the Caribbean and suddenly what looked like a strong tropical wave train is derailed and the year turns a wave train that   "can't keep my mojo going!" 

What does Arizona State see that other reports do not? I will post that soon. Stay tuned.

Til then.........hang in there. Stay prepared. It only takes one! El Nino or No Nino Miami has been rocked by Andrew and the Florida Panhandle by Michael! El Nino was said to be weak in 1969 and the weak tropical wave that produced Camille did stay weak in the Neptunian Real of El Nino in the SW Carib but then as it cleared the Yucatan........oh my goodness! 

Just hard truth.............

Don't buy all the hype..........
Buy hurricane supplies, hide them away from the kids, your partner or your own appetite! 

38 Days til June 1st! 

Mother Nature always delivers one way or the other. 
You do your part, because trust me she will do hers..........

Sweet Tropical Dreams,
BobbiStorm
on X @bobbistorm mostly weather holding back everything in inside thoughts to just do weather
Elsewhere....whatever.

Do you have dreams?
I have dreams....
I try not to dream....
..don't like waking up disoriented.
But we all dream....
..what are your dreams??
