Today's the last "official" day of the 2005 Hurricane Season.

26 Named Storms. Previous Record - 21 (1933)
13 Hurricanes (unless Epsilon becomes a hurricane) Previous record - 12 (1969)7 Majors (Cat 3 or higher)

Gamma Gone!
Gamma's maximum sustained winds dropped to 35 miles per hour and has been downgraded to a tropical depression. We have a few clouds but otherwise should be unaffected.

Gamma....Yup!

Gamma Ray?
This is the Greek letter Gamma
Tropical Depression #27....that's right, the year's 27th tropical system, is bouncing around south of Jamaica. May become a Tropical Storm, be named Gamma and would be the 24th named storm of this record breaking season. Potential to become a hurricane by week's end.
Not too concerned here but it gives the weathermen something to talk about and "keep an eye on".

We may be done!
Local forecasters say the current weather patterns should keep any late-season tropical developments away from the Florida penninsula between now and the official end of hurricane season on December 1st.
Meanwhile, I bought a relatively new circular saw for $5 at a garage sale last weekend so I'm prepared to cut more boards next season should need be.
There is really good and interesting on-going Southwest Florida coverage of Wilma at the Bonita News(paper's) website. Photos, webcams, even a daily podcast. I believe this is application is a glimpse of the future of newspaper industry. Check it out!
