Well this week it's Bonnie and Clyde! A pair of outlaw storms on the run from the meteorological law. Well actually it's Bonnie and Charley. Talk about hurricanes. This one's a 1-2 punch. They are calling for Bonnie to come up to Richmond, VA, on Friday, and then the very next day, Charlie arrives. Both will have the wind pounded out of them by the time they get here (hopefully! Hope they don't get a refresher in the Atlantic.) but they will still pour all kinds of rain here. It will be raining. It will be raining. It will be raining. And this is no ordinary rain. It will rain cats, dogs, pitchforks, potatoes, oil, kitchen sinks, condoms, SUV carburetors, terror alert levels, political campaigns, and ordinary differential equations, as well as all kinds of strangled salamanders and frogs. A total of 4 inches will fall here, and when that's over, I will need a canoe to go to work. If you live on the East Coast, better outfit your ark now. The Great Deluge is coming. And not only that. After Bonnie and Charley, the Global Forecasting System's runs suggests that there are two or three more tropical storms or hurricanes coming. Fortunately, a cold front will push Danielle and her buddies out to sea.
But yes, it's time to prepare for hurricanes again. These two storms will not harm Richmond too much, although they will give trouble to two areas in Florida. They are forecasting more hurricanes than usual this year. Let's just hope we don't have another Isabel.
