Title: Tropical Storm Helene Heading to The U.K.!
Post by: ThaDood on September 16, 2018, 1651 UTC

   You don't see this very often, a tropical storm that 1st was thought to be a concern to the NE USA / Canada did a complete hook-shot and now threatens Ireland and the UK,    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at3+shtml/144450.shtml?mltoa34#contents This could make for some interesting monitoring of emergency communications from there. In the meantime, Florence continues to be an extreme slow moving pain in the ass state-side.  https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

The west coast of Ireland has become a surfing mecca in the past couple of decades due to the big waves generated by what's left of the Gulf Stream and prevailing winds. They'll have their boards waxed up and kegs of Guinness on the beach for this one.

I wonder if Dick Dale will play an electric harp for the beach party?
