Bermuda Premier Brown cancels D.C. trip as Hurricane Igor nears (click title to entry - thank you)
WASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) — Bermuda Premier Ewart Brown on Wednesday decided to cancel his scheduled trip to Washington, D.C. to monitor the process of Hurricane Igor, which is on a direct path with the British overseas territory.
Brown was scheduled to host a Student Luncheon Reception for Bermudian students in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, but canceled the trip citing concern regarding Hurricane Igor. He was also expected to sign an agreement.
“Over the next few days, I had planned to attend the signing of the Howard University and Bermuda Collaboration Agreement and the events associated with the Congressional Black Caucus weekend in Washington, D.C.,” Brown said. “In light of the potential threat posed by Hurricane Igor, I have decided to cancel this trip.”
“Our government is monitoring Hurricane Igor closely and intends to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of our people,” Brown added.
Large and powerful hurricane Igor is currently located about 1635 kilometers (1015 miles) southeast of Bermuda, and will likely start to affect the island on Sunday as a category 1 or 2 storm.
This troposphere is unprecedented. There has NEVER been two Category 4 storms moving in unison across the Atlantic Ocean before.
The people trying to change the subject of this unprecedented season of 'twin storms' in the Atlantic by citing the year 2000 as the same as this troposphere are grossly incorrect. The year of 2000 had two category four storms that existed for three days, one in the Caribbean and one in the Atlantic. THIS IS GROSSLY DIFFERENT ! End of discussion.
These two storms are completely in unison as they cross the Atlantic and they are maintaining their 'latitude' for days now.

It is one week out from the beginning of Igor and it has moved 6.4 degrees north. It is three days and six hours since the beginnings of Julia and the storm has only moved 6.5 degrees north. THESE STORMS ARE TAKING THE SAME TRACK across the Atlantic Ocean and are in syncronized oscillation with each, exchanging heat energy between the two.
Igor manifested at Longitude -25.50 on September 8th. Julia manifested at Longitude -21.40 on September 12th. When Julia joined the tropospheric dynamics of the Atlantic Ocean on September 12th, Igor was at Longitude -45.70. That is a difference in Longitude of 24.30 degrees on September 12, 2010 between these two storms. Three days have passed since then. Igor is now at Longitude -55.60 and Julia is at Longitude -33.50. THAT is a difference of 22.10 degrees between the two storms. They are in oscillation and CLOSING the gap between them.
They are moving in unison in very close proximity. The Antilles and the Islands now lie in the line of tragectory of these storms. I am demanding people in the CURRENT path be notified of potential danger. This is unprecedented. It is the SECOND time these storms have manifested together and in oscillation THIS season. There is sincere and real danger to life from these storms and I insist people know the potential danger as these storms are continuing to be monitored for movement north and away from any danger to life and limb !
I DO NOT WANT another Katrina for ANYONE along the way whereby people were only notified with only 24 hours to take appropriate actions to protect themselves.

There is still another tropical wave of significant size off West Africa yet again that may very well be "Lisa" with "Karl" being the THIRD storm simultaneously existing at the same time, but, the only one currently in the Gulf of Mexico.
