Tropical Depression Alberto and Tropical Cyclone Boloetse
By: Lance Winslow
We all wish we could forget the record breaking, costly and deadly 2005 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season; the season, which just would not quit. It even rang in the New Years Celebration with Zeta. When will we get the first named Atlantic Storm in 2006? Well, the answer is a little alarming in that it could be much sooner than you think!
Some believe it is because of Global Warming and Climate Change, while others say it is this plus the Hurricane Activity Cycles which are normal. Well, no matter what we have what could be Tropical Depression, Tropical Storm or even Hurricane Alberto trying to form in the middle of the Western Atlantic, yes in the middle of February? Oh my God say the nerve shaking Gulf Coast residents of the United States; here we go again.
Is it possible? Well in another ocean we already had two Tropical Cyclones in January. Here is a picture of Tropical Cyclone Boloetse;

Two Tropical Cyclones already by late in January, so if we can have them there, then certainly we can get a Tropical Storm in the Western Atlantic in Early February? Why not? Still many who lived thru the last season are certainly pretty worried about these things and right about now could do without the stress of things to come. Consider this in 2006.
