The storm in question of course is Florence. It's not packing much of a punch. Normally, a storm of these dynamics would have accelerated to far higher velocities than a 'Tropical Storm' status. Do to the low level of humidity in the troposphere this storm season cannot capture enough heat in water vapor to manifest high velocities to return heat to the oceans. In other words the 'surface' of earth has gotten hot enough to vaporize it's humidity.
Florence is 'supported' by a very wide swath of ocean. The last time a storm was this size was Floyd. It measured something like 500 miles across. However. Floyd was well supported in velocity and 'heat transfer' dynamics with dense cloud mass.
Moral to this entry: Earth is losing it's ability to stay cool to support biotic life. If one refers to the storm season of 1998. It occurred in similar fashion to this season. However. It had higher water vapor density in the troposphere and higher velocity storms. BOTH, these years were under the influence of Human Induced Global Warming. HOWEVER. 2006 is eight years further down the timeline.
"Got it ?!"
