OCTOBER 2019 HOROSCOPES

Aah Jim is a local coastal storm expert in disaster recovery who researches the hurricanes and gives no nonsense reporting about them in plain language. Read his prior updates in links below for important info about how hurricanes work.  This morning he writes:  This is your Don’t Panic Weather Update for Sept 27. Karen is heading northeast but a high forming in her path is blocking her progress. She is expected to drift west while upper wind shear tears her down to a tropical depression of 40 mph winds and likely even less. Lorenzo is already heading north so nothing in the Atlantic to stress about. Waters in the Atlantic are slowly cooling reducing the power of future Atlantic hurricanes but temps in the Gulf and east of Mexico are still toasty, so expect systems to flair up quick in the coming weeks. As we get through Oct, chance of hurricanes will be getting lower and lower from this point on.

Read his prior updates in links below for important info about how hurricanes work.  This morning he writes: This is the Sept 22 update from the Don’t Panic Weather Service. As we reported Jerry is heading north and out of harms way and another tropical storm Karen is following north in Jerry’s path. It is expected to run right across puerto rico but never build its winds to hurricane strength. In fact it is expected to barely impact puerto rico at this point. From there Karen heads north. Some models suggest Karen might make a strong left turn and head for Florida but at such a high latitude that this is unlikely. Once as far north as central Florida, most Atlantic storms want to head north or north east, not west which was why we doubted a projected track of Dorian hitting central Florida from almost due east of it. There is a storm off Africa we are watching that will likely build to hurricane strength and head west to the Caribbean. There are no projected paths at this point, but it is very common for hurricanes to follow similar paths to the preceding one which would have the new storm head west then sharply north, heading out into the mid Atlantic. In the coming month, the storms to watch will likely focus more on the Gulf of Mexico.

I watched 2 movies, very different but with similar premise: Up In The Air with George Clooney and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Ben Stiller and Kristen Wiig. Both begin with a large corporation downsizing, leaving hundreds of employees wondering how they’re going to make it after giving half their life to a company that just let them go. Half the sessions I do are callers in that same situation, asking for guidance, asking for their next step. Here are my thoughts.

It helps to have a few basic goals, skills to qualify you for those goals and to have a Plan B. Not everyone has the time to daydream about Plan B, what another life may look like. They may find themselves working several jobs to support a family with barely time to sleep. But if you’re gonna be successful in being flexible to navigate whatever life throws at you, you gotta get a Plan B.  Continue reading →

“The latest reminder from the Don’t Panic Weather Update, the rain and gusts to Florida’s southeast has managed to avoid an area of high wind shear which would have shredded it. It’s marked in red on the map because its likely to begin cyclone formation. That sounds very scary but all it means is that it will start to rotate like a hurricane but without the high wind speeds. The current estimates are for it to remain in the 20 to 40 mph range in the next five days which by then it will likely have turned north and headed up the coast off shore of Florida. If it starts spinning it is called a tropical depression, if it generates winds of over 39 mph it will make it up to a tropical storm. It is already too close to Florida to build up much strength so none of the models are expecting it to become even a Cat 1 Hurricane but I will keep my eye on it and update you.” Continue reading →

Aah Jim is a local coastal storm expert in disaster recovery who researches the hurricanes and gives no nonsense reporting about them in plain language. Read his prior updates for important info about how hurricanes work, i.e. “It doesn’t matter what the top windspeed of a storm is if it stays out in the Atlantic. it does not matter what the wind speed of the narrow eastern eyewall of Dorian is doing if that eyewall is not expected to come close to Florida. No matter how big a hurricane is, once it drives completely up on land it dramatically weakens, it needs to hit a warm open body of water again before it can pose a major threat. “

Jim writes:  Good Morning Friends and Neighbors, this is the Dont Panic Weather Service giving you the 7am EDT update for Wed: If you are out there still waiting for the other shoe to drop, know this, the worst of the storm is past for all but Daytona and Jacksonville. When the winds are out of the West in your area the storm is off shore with its most powerful winds already past you. When the winds are out of the SW the storm is already North of you. Jacksonville and our neighbors on the st Johns River are the only ones I still have concerns for. The North and NW winds that did not produce much in the way of storm surge on the Ocean is backing up the flow of the St Johns River causing 2-3 ft floods above normal high water levels.

“Always look for the helpers,” Mr. Rogers told us. And I do. When a hurricane is off the coast, I make a point to go on Facebook and point out what silver linings I can to those enmeshed in storm prep. I don’t know the technical mechanics of how hurricanes work, I just share my past experiences with a hopeful outlook. I’m usually messaging with FB friends for hours and enjoy it. This time as Hurricane Dorian approached, I was days out of surgery and sleeping a ton. I didn’t have time for much messaging but wouldn’t turn any down. “Give me the energy to respond or guide me otherwise.” Next time I checked my FB news feed, I saw for the first time one of Aah Jim‘s Don’t Panic weather updates.  Woot! Prayers answers at the moment of asking. I sent a friend request and began sharing his posts. Lots of FBF found him and we were all comforted by his REAL FACTS info and explanation of the how and why of the storm itself. I asked if I could Paypal him some $$ and he declined. No one has ever done that. “This is a labor of Love to counter the forces of Fear in our lives,” he said. “This is a private weather service provided to my friends and their friends receiving no government funding and no corporate sponsorship. Be strong against the forces of fear and chaos, and above all Don’t Panic.”
This is sacred work, keeping everyone in the know while helping them keep calm. I was glad to find and share his posts, to learn from an expert in the field what was really happening, since the news and weather always exaggerate every ‘cane into the storm of the century. It greatly cut down on the amount of stress and anxiety I and my friends felt. Yes, I still prepared as if there might be a Florida hit or pass over, but knew right away, according to all the models and info he shared, there wouldn’t be nearly what mainstream media said there’d be. Bless those who take it as a sacred duty to help bring FACTS, a voice of reason, peace and comfort to those in need of it in times of distress. Continue reading →
