2. Could follow Humberto if we're all lucky

Early days - Northern Leewards, thee Virgin islands and PR need to keep an eye - could be a tropical storm by tonight

3. "You know there ain't no cure for the summertime blues".

Life in the tropics and sub-tropics is only getting tougher, I'm afraid. My family almost certainly won't be able to live where they are in FL within 20 years, my daughter 10 because she lives around 8 miles from the beach.

4. The hurricanes are getting stronger

and staying around longer - that is not so long term trouble for all of us

5. That sadly and certainly is the case.

As I always tell my kids, just because you haven't been hurt bad before, doesn't mean it won't happen now. I have to pay much closer attention to weather fronts now than I ever did before and this will only increase as the years go by.
