Never seen double storms like this before. And at least one of them ramped up in a hurry.


Veronica underwent a phenomenal period of rapid intensification on Wednesday, taking advantage of low wind shear and very warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs) near 30°C (86°F)—up to 1°C above average for this time of year. Veronica intensified from a tropical storm with 65 mph winds at 6Z March 20 into a Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds just 18 hours later—an 80 mph increase in winds.

I had been hearing this was in the works for months. Great news in that it will kick up the percent the federal government chips in. I saw where debris removal in Mexico Beach was equal to twenty years of their annual budget. Those guys are going to need a hand.

That was a crazy hurricane, for sure. Since it's Florida, the Feds will make sure to splash out plenty of cash.

Meanwhile, Puerto Rico...

Actually. . . . . . .

The recovery money is tied up in Congress because it was lumped in with the PR money. In the mean time all the counties and towns are racking up debt and shitting bricks.

It snowed on the plains yesterday, about 4". More in the mountains. Chilly and cloudy today, should be warming up soon. Typical May weather for front strange Colorado!
