Sept. 11th 2001 - Hurricane Erin (the hurricane that nobody remembers)

Today is a day of mourning and remembrance for many across the country.  But most have forgotten that there was a hurricane 200 miles east of New York the day that the terrorist attacks took place!  Meteorologists cant even recall this hurricane; because the horrific events of September 11th overshadowed our memories of anything else that happened in the world that day.  If this storm were 200 miles closer to NYC, then flights would have been cancelled and the World Trace Center would not have been attacked...  In the below picture you will find a satellite image of Hurricane Erin on Sept. 11th 2001.  If you look closely, you can see the dust over New York City from the twin towers...

May God continue to bless America!  Never forget to pray for your country, our troops and for your future generations to come!  Let us never forget the tragic events that took place of 9/11/2001...

Winter Storm Nemo is a monster!  And it is only getting worse! (2/8/2013 - 2/9/2013)

The brunt end of the storm is currently in New Jersey and is headed toward Boston fast!  A state of emergency has been issued for many areas of the northeastern US.  Areas of New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island have all issued travel bans.  If you are in these areas and attempt to travel then you could be issued a hefty ticket.  DO NOT TRAVEL IF YOU ARE IN THESE AREAS!  Remember, you are not only putting your life at risk, but you will also be putting first responders at risk.

Storm reports are still coming in after last nights rare breakout of January tornadoes. As of now it would appear that Tennessee has been hit the hardest, leaving Nashville heavily damaged by strong winds and Mt. Juliet ravaged by an EF2 Tornado. As of now 1 person has been killed. The gentleman who passed away was taking shelter in a shed when a large tree fell on top of the structure. His family, who lives in the house nearby, heard the tree fall around 3:30am and rushed to the mans aid. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead on the scene. Prayers go out to this family who will be coping with this loss as they clean up from the storm.

Alabama is currently getting hammered by this same storm. The storm is headed northeast, threatening these states along the way. The warm weather streak is going to end and snow is going to move in to take its place. This will make storm cleanup difficult for the folks in TN.

An estimated 46.8 inches of snow fell in the mountains of Idaho!  From Utah to Nebraska and then to Lake Superior, that is one big AOE!  While most of the east coast is enjoying spring like weather, it won't be long lived.  Temperatures are set to head back down to freezing on the right coast... "One does not simply.... have a warm winter."
