Hanna has become a dud of sorts - for Florida at least thankfully... But all eyes are on Ike, and I hope this rollout doesn't become a roll-back next Monday........

Easy for you to say, your not in the cone of that "dud"

Langley could be affected...

that's what I am most worried about... a cat 4 near the bahamas by tuesday of next week. They could easily rollout and no sooner get there than have to rollback... then all the remaining contingency days are REALLY shot...

Not to mention the flow for STS-126 being affected as well...

I'm not sure how rolling out and rolling back uses more contingency time than not rolling out at all... Explain the difference please?

Hanna is in town at the Cape right now.

Some of the outer feeder-bands have been here since around 3am whipping the trees around again and dropping water on us once more. As I look outside my window here there are quite a few periods of reduced visibility down to <100m because of the rain. No mistaking it as anything other than a tropical storm.

From the local weather forecast it looks like a LOT more water is coming this way from the south as Hanna moves up the coast - and more rain is not welcome after the widespread flooding from Fay already, the ground here is still saturated so more rain will just settle straight on the surface.

The Hurricane Hunters are about 80 miles off the coast of the KSC and have 58 MPH flight level winds. Flying at 4708 feet as of 7:27 EDT

She took a little jog west which brought the gusty winds to the area earlier today, but it's now returned to a northward motion and a turn to the northeast is still expected.

Thanks for sending Hanna our way. We're not used to anything above a slight breeze!

Sky News are going panic and make this out as if it's a Cat 5. They'll have us all catching planes to Aussie Land by Tuesday!

While Hanna dropped a lot of rain on us, it was nothing like that nasty storm which struck England back in 1987, nor the one which followed that in 1990. Those were worse.

You might get some pretty good rainfall and some winds there in Blighty if Hanna ever reaches you, but unless your area is prone to flooding anyway, you should be fine. Just take a bit extra care out on the roads

The closest storm I've been in here on the space coast of Florida to those two storms in England was Hurricane Charley. By the time Charley got to the East coast of Florida it was down from a Cat 3 to a Cat 1 here. That was very similar indeed (although temperatures weren't as cold as England!). West coast of Florida got whacked good & proper by Charley though... Glad it wasn't here.

OT sorta: were you around for Wilma? A cold front followed the hurricane. Wind chills were down in the low 40s (F).

Some reason a lot of folks thinks Gustav was all hype, but it caused pretty serious damage, 20$ billion dollars and most of that in the USA. I'm pretty happy they were able to Rollout Atlantis, and Hanna's last advisory has been issued.
