Tropical Storm Zeta is a Super Trooper
By: Lance Winslow
Tropical Storm Zeta is about to add yet another record to the 2005 Atlantic Tropical Storm Season. Zeta appears to have enough energy to remain a storm until next week. With winds whistling, whispting and whipping away through the week it will soon break another record. It will be only one of two named storms to ever make it over the New Years Holidays and it will be the longest running storm system of the two. Thus it is the longest Post Christmas named storm ever in the history of Atlantic Tropical Hurricane recorded history. It appears for all seasons and all reasons that Tropical Storm Zeta be labeled 2006’s “Super Trooper!â€
Tropical Storm Zeta is not moving very fast and is in the middle of the Atlantic ocean spinning at about 39-55 mph and at one point was only 5 mph from becoming a Hurricane Category I Storm. It is truly rare to have such a storm system so late in the season, but as meteorologists have said after the last 2005 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season nothing would surprise them at all. It is expected to continue forward movement at between 7 mph and 21 mph for the next few days. There is a chance that the Westerly Relative Wind Flows may rip it apart in the next few days, but never-the-less it has already made its mark in the record book, reminding all humans that we are not in charge; Mother Nature is. Indeed this seems to be foreshadowing of more to come in the 2006 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season. Be thinking and preparing for this in 2006.
