Maybe I haven't watched the Weather Channel everyday for the past two weeks but where is Jim Cantore? I thought that he would surely be covering all the storms that have taken place across the country.

Jim is working on a new series for The Weather Channel that is due this summer. You can still see him on Storm Stories.

Well....it's kinda early into the season to say. I think so far we had one major tropical storm and media really exagerated the severity of it and unneccesarily blew it out of proportion. \n\nIt was supposed to hit here...Tampa area..., but swung NE and rode above us. All we got was some bad rain and wind, but I know counties north of me got it alot worse....but certainly nothing extremely major...like the damage a major hurricane would cause. \n\nI'm hoping for a mild hurricane season this year...but you never know. The hurricanes seem to be getting stronger and more frequent over the years....and sometimes they sneak up on you fast without enough warning. We seem to be getting a majority of the hurricanes here on the Gulf of Mexico lately. Seems like they're not so hungry for the Atlantic coast anymore. I do know I usually ignore the warnings and the evacutions....but my luck....I'll end up really regretting that someday. \n\nBTW....my niece lives is Boloxy, Miss. She got hit hard with Katrina last year. She got 9 feet of water in her home...1 story home with crawl space. Water was to her roof. She had home owners insurance....but no flood insurance. The only thing insurance would cover was a tree that fell and crush part of her roof in. She lost everything she had and is still struggling to start over. \n\nSorry this was so long....I guess I went way beyond answering your simple question. Typical of me to not know when to shut up...lol.

I only watched a little of the show last night, I got frustrated because most of the people were horrible. But about David Hasselhoff....did you see him trying to bob his head or (dance) to some of the songs? He looked horrible. They should have given him three X's.

No, I don't think so, but that doesn't mean that someone isn't trying. That guy in Idaho is pretty wacko, but I have heard of a few things that OUR government/military have been doing in Alaska.  I've read and heard a few things about using microwave beams of natural radiation (basically microwaves directed at cloud formations and the Ionisphere) that change the winds in the upper and lower layers of the atmosphere, change some cloud formations, I believe by disapation, with the high concentration of the microwave energy (and it requires a huge amount of energy to power this beam, and also I don't know what the power source would be, but still it would require a ton of energy, to run this device, like having it's own power plant type of #'s), and the one other point is that the area that is effected by this microwave beam is very small and regionalized, probably just a few 10's of feet.  I've read a few things on the net, and of course there are conspiracy theories and all, but the US Govt have been interested in weather modification for a long time to use as a weapon of war, to help weaken the enemy, so it wouldn't surprise me to think that some form of this has got to be true. The person who controls the weather, will eventually rule the world, pretty heavy stuff, I know. So we may have some of the technology to do this, but it's on a very small scale. The guy from Idaho is crazy, but at the same time he is making alot of money off of this crap, with his internet sites and radio appearances. This guy used to be a tv weatherman, but then saw the dollar signs to do this, instead. Hmmm..., maybe I should do this?

We've had several the past month and a half, which is unusual for Central California this time of year (or so I'm told... I'm new here.) The national weather service said a few were severe but I've seen much worse in Virginia and Iowa. We did have a couple with marble sized hail though. Enough hail fell to coat the ground almost an inch deep. A lot of the locals thought it was snow because of how soft it was when they went back outside to see it closer.

Last summer at the tv station I interned with, one of the meteorologists went in a wind tunnel to show what wind speeds in a hurricane are like.  I just found the video on their website - \nat 95 mph: "I don't know how any human being could remain on their feet if they tried to move at all."\n108 was all he could make it up to because it was too hard to breathe.

Nobody left last Monday...the show didn't air because of the CMA awards.  Lisa got booted yesterday.  Sadie and Jen are remaining....the two I predicted in the beginning.  Either one of them deserve him.  He's a sweetie....just like they are.

Well written article.  \n\nHaving just sold a home in the town immediately north of Port Charlotte, I can tell you that the market there has gone flat.  We were able to sell because we put a realistic price on our house.  The 1/2 dozen others on OUR STREET that were for sale when we put ours on the market remain on the market today.\n\nThe woods across the street from our old house are being turned into homes that are selling for upwards of $500,000.  Mind you, the same builder was selling the same houses in another development 2 years ago for 1/3 of the price.  I wish the new owners luck in being able to afford homeowners & flood insurance.\n\nAll over the area in Sarasota & Manatee counties the market has gone flat.  Too many people trying to cash in on the post hurricane demand for existing homes.  Made everyone's property taxes go through the roof.\n\nWe moved out of Florida, to a part of the country where you can still afford to live.

I just heard on the news this morning that hurricane season is once again upon us. They did say that it shouldn't be as bad as last year though.\n\nI don't know how the people that live in these areas do it...they really have to love where they're at to continue to live in the hurricane zones and rebuild or evacuate or whatever comes along. \n\nPersonally I am not that flexible with my life. I like stability and security.  Even if the insurance does cover the loss of the actual building and contents..you can never replace or put a value on your possessions or your life. \n\nI think the predictions hold some merit. They are just that...predictions,but I would definitely think twice before building in that area. Not the life for me.

I've seen the forecast for tonight, it looks as if we might be in for a bit of a blow! What really worries me is that Meridian News, our region's local TV station, had a live report on the weather from Margate................I live in Margate, and if they think weather is going to be so bad that they need a film crew here, I'm afraid......very afraid!

He's out looking for Carmen Sandiego. I mean where could those two be? Maybe they ran off together to get hitched. I haven't seen or heard from them in yrs. myself...lol

Yes. My neighbor has collected weather data for the last 15 years.  It's mostly temperature, rain amount, and a general description of the weather.  I did a statistical analysis of the temperature data and discovered that the trend indicated an increasing temperature.  I used a least squares analysis and plotted the graph.  I did this for a monthly average, and a yearly average.  The trend is upward for both, and some record highs were recorded in several months. I don't want to get into the details for anyone who is a statistical genius at this point.  The outcome seems to depend on which political party you belong to in the US. \nThere are also some wild fluctuations in temperature, and wind events.  We have had some severe storms that have damaged large areas of pristine forests, and we have had some major flooding. I live in Pennsylvania and, yes, I would say the temperature is changing somewhat by inching upwards, based on temperature data.  The voracity of some storm events are very damaging, as viewed over my lifetime in this geographic area.  Friend to friend, I would think about moving to Europe if I was you.  You are going to experience a cataclysmic event in the near future that will have devastating effects on the UK.  At least that's what my research shows.  But, it's just the rantings of a conspiracy nut, that's what my friends say.

I've seen several funnel clouds, those are an awesome and chilling sight. By the time you notice them they're pretty well-formed. Almost all of them last a few seconds and either dissipate or roll back up into the sky. We were actually involved with a real tornado three years ago, It was an F1-F2 that stayed on the ground for almost thirty miles. I heard  the siren go off in the next town, we got the kids and the dogs in the basement. My wife and I kept going outside and looking around for something more threatening than the usual oncoming thunderstorm. After about 10 minutes we heard the freight train coming and headed downstairs. The house shook enough that the dust came down from the rafters. It lasted less than thirty seconds and then a whole lot of rain came down. The tornado missed us by 200 yards. The telephone pole in the corner of my back yard was okay, the one next to it was torn out of the ground and thrown across the road. The one next to that was torn out and thrown a hundred yards. No one in my rural neighborhood was hurt, but they did wind up bulldozing and rebuilding three homes. The home across the street had the front porch torn off and thrown over the roof, exposing a large hole in the roof deck that let in enough rain to collapse most of the ceilings. The path of damage was maybe a half-mile wide. Homes outside that range did not see much damage. I was surprised that the wind was toward the tornado, not away from it. The funnel was enough of a low-pressure point to draw the air towards it at a hundred-and-some miles an hour. The broken trees have repaired themselves, the homes and farms have been rebuilt, The only lasting reminder is a lot of sheets of tin barn roof still wrapped around treetops. We're in Northern Ohio. Moderate tornado damage is at least a yearly event in the area. Huge destructive disastrous storms like they get in the plains are a rarity.

Okay, again, lots of answers, getting nowhere.\n\nFirst of all let me tell you I am the Chief Meteorologist of a local news/weather forum, just so you know I`m a credible source.\n\n\n--My answer--\nI was at a meteorological science convention with a few of my peers not too long ago.  This was one of the "tests" that came up.\nAs the last post said, it is RELATIVELY rare (only occurring in 6 out of 20 studies)......... but it did happen.  Electricity was successfully transferred from the plumbing system of the test bathroom, to the sensors inside the "man" in the shower.\n\n**Bottom Line**\nStay off the phone, stay off the computer, stay out of the tub........ just sit and enjoy mother nature, as she does her work.\n\n\nTake care...\nWeather_Wise911

What sort of time frame did you have in mind?  I'd like to know because I'd better be moving to higher ground.  \n\nUsually I don't bother with this sort of thing, but the recent hurricane season has got me thinking that something is up.  \n\nThanks for the warning! \n\nCheers!
