make your prediction now

Published Aug 16, 2007

I know it will be next week before we actually know the answer, but let's have some fun.  Make your prediction now as to where Hurricane Dean will make landfall on the continent of North America.  My prediction is that it will make landfall at South Padre Island, Texas which is just northeast of Brownsville.  No prizes.... just bragging rights!

Legs I think you are right on target unless a cold front somehow drops down that far, which I doubt!

Legs: I do appreciate the credit on the source of the graphic. :-) I won't predict, I'll just pray that it doesn't go anywhere near my house in South Florida that I was unable to sell, and am now renting due to the terrible housing market.

Whoops. It's slowed down. I'm still going for the same time and location, but one day later on Thursday. And it will be strong. It's gonna hit some very warm water with no shear once it clears the Yucatan.

Bones, I'm impressed. You've done your homework. Your prediction is very close to mine. Great minds.... LOL

The name Dean has been used for five tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.

1983's Tropical Storm Dean - struck the coast of Virginia, causing minor erosion and flooding. 1989's Hurricane Dean - passed over Bermuda, causing $10 million in damage and 16 injuries. 1995's Tropical Storm Dean - caused significant flooding damage to Chambers County, Texas but no injuries or deaths. 2001's Tropical Storm Dean - caused $7.7 million in damage to Puerto Rico and minimal damage to the U.S. Virgin Islands. 2007's Hurricane Dean ???? No one has any clue yet but oil prices are rising...gotta love it..I think dean will peter out over the islands and hit the gulf as a tropical storm..perhaps picking up steam again ...going inland brownsville texas...

I'm still waiting for my ouija board to give me the answer. I think it's getting close now.

Careful Rufus... one good whack and we can kiss Naw'leans goodbye again.

True. Okay, Houma, La.

Legs,

I'm actually in a kayak right now whacking the New Orleans levy with my paddle. I predict New Orleans.

Cuz... you're such a funny guy!

Crisp... I knew I could count of you to pin it down for me!

Sue, Arthur, and Jokers... you need to be more specific!

Anyone else want to make a prediction???

P.S. I am also hoping we get some rain from the remnants but it looks very doubtful right now.
