| Hurricane Vinny Menaces Europe |
| 2005-10-09 |
| After all that snark about Katrina, let's see how Europe deals with Hurricane Vinny. Despite encountering cool ocean temperatures, Vince has strengthened to a hurricane as he moves off the coast of Africa. I am very surprised that Vince developed in this section of the Atlantic as ocean temperatures are only 23-25 degrees C. Typically surface temperatures of at least 26 degrees C are needed for tropical development. However, one quick look at Vince and it is clear that he is now a hurricane. You can notice Portugal in the upper-right corner and Africa in the lower-right. In other words, Vince is expected to make landfall in Europe (though probably not at hurricane strength).

| #1 And I'm sure the U.S. will send help afterward, both governmental and from the peepul, without any sniping about the recipients' character. |
