Well, welcome back everyone...I'm in the saddle blogging for the moment, and later today, Sheril and I are going to be hanging out here in LA together. We'll try to post a picture or something.
In the meantime, though, I wanted to post a link to a fun "storm pundit" item I did for the Daily Green recently, entitled the "Most Superlative Storms of 2007." I went through the year's many hurricanes and identified the following: Most Deadly, Most Intense, Most Surprising, Hardest to Forecast, Wettest, and Most Political.
Follow the links to see which storms I picked for each category. And here's to much blogging, about storms and all else, in 2008!

This is a huge hurricane/typhoon heading quickly, and imminently, towards taiwan.
The storm itself is roughly as wide as the island nation is long, so very little will be left unaffected.
The big, current, story in the Atlantic is, of course, hurrican/tropical storm (there is some confusion on the status of the storm over the last 12 hours) Ingrid. Regardless of how it is classified, Ingrid is going to cause major flooding in Mexico.
Update:
The new forecast track of Neoguri is shown above as well as the location of two nuclear power plants.
