The # that counts is region 3&4, that principal (now) # stayed the same at -.1 this past week. Current condition is neutral.

Back in November of 2006 I posted several articles about the 100+ horses stranded by the floods in the Netherlands. We got word they were rescued but to see it is awespiring...
Remember the horses that were trapped for 3 days on a tiny piece of land in wind and rain in the Netherlands? It had the nation mesmerized, watching about 100 horses huddle against the wind and watching 18 of them die. First firemen, then the Dutch army tried to rescue them, both unsuccessfully. Four women on horseback rode out to the rescue. Here's a video of it..... THE SOUND BEGINS ABOUT 58 SECONDS AFTER THE START..... GOOD VOLUME ....... ENJOY...... It is about 6 1/2 minutes long. Click here to watch!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ Get your radio already:) The WFTV deal of supplying discounted radios at publix quickly sold out. Brevard didn't get any in the 1st shipment but ours are coming, as are more for other areas.. I checked this out, great radio with SAME technoligy & you can't get it any cheaper on line. Highly recommend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ NHC Tropical Disscusion Local text Products Local Forecast Graphics.

LADY LAKE, Fla. This morning's news
WESH WFTV Good news on the FEMA front! Declerations all signed by the presedent. Ice, comfort stations, MRE's, generators, grants, loans, clean up funds & etc are now available. The assistance, to be coordinated by FEMA, can include grants to help pay for temporary housing, home repairs and other serious disaster-related expenses. Low-interest loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration also will be available to cover residential and business losses not fully compensated by insurance. Federal funding also is available to state and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organization on a cost-sharing basis in Lake, Seminole, Sumter, and Volusia counties for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance. In addition, federal funding is available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures statewide. Paulison named Jesse Munoz as the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal recovery operations in the affected area. Munoz said that damage surveys are continuing in other areas, and more counties and additional forms of assistance may be designated after the assessments are complete. The Agency said that residents and business owners who sustained losses in the designated counties can begin applying for assistance tomorrow by registering online at http://www.fema.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA(3362) or 1-800-462-7585 (TTY) for the hearing and speech impaired. The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (local time) seven days a week until further notice. I'm in total awe of how the clean up machine is running here. We've had alot of practice... To see the best of 2004 still out there like Craig Fugate, teamed up with the replacements of what once, was FEMA trash, openly discussioning it all with the seasoned Sen Nelson & our still slightly shocked but responding Gov Crist~ you get a sense that these people know the voters want someone that's gonna pull together in a disaster, quickly. Media wise, the FEMA news was on at noon but hasn't hit the wires! Sadly media in my opinion fell on it's face this morning with many stories of former FEMA director Michael Brown, talking about these tornados, though there's a shocking side...He was in Volusia about to speak with our county emergancy preparedness people. He's doing this for a living now! A few ways to help, don't drive in the areas affected & give blood or money. PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 615 PM EST SAT FEB 3 2007 ...THE LATEST FIELD REPORT FROM BOTH THE LAKE COUNTY AND VOLUSIA COUNTY SURVEY TEAMS REGARDING YESTERDAYS KILLER TORNADO EVENT... ...DAMAGE SURVEYS NOW INDICATE THAT AT LEAST THREE TORNADOES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION...

THIS STATEMENT IS ONLY AN INITIAL REPORTING FROM THE SURVEY TEAMS. IN THE COMING DAYS...CONSIDERABLE EFFORT WILL BE INVESTED TO ENSURE THAT THIS HISTORICAL EVENT IS ACCURATELY DOCUMENTED. A WORD ABOUT THE NEW ENHANCED FUJITA (EF) TORNADO SCALE...THE EF-SCALE WAS DEVELOPED TO BETTER ASSESS WIND SPEEDS ASSOCIATED WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE...FROM SINGLE-WIDE MOBILE HOMES TO INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS TO FRAMED ONE OR TWO FAMILY HOMES...AND MANY MORE.

Interesting, refuring to the ESPI ~ rain over equator area of the Pacific~ anomalisly low as well as the lack of persistant clouds leading the high latitudes like the USA, to be feeling hardly any effects, since it isn't affeting our circulation patterns much....now a weak El Ni�o. A quickning & now a majority to the model forecasts, neutral conditions begin during March-May. +.3 in region 1&2. +.7 in 3&4. The # that counts is region 3&4, the # +.7 & that gives the principal (now) #. Neutral has got to come from the average of 3 months before it's offical. So offically it most likely would be atleast March for it to be offical. I think we very well may see neutral conditions (principal~ "now") well before June. Sometime in Febuary wouldn't suprise me. Monday is the next update...I expect to see more of a drop this coming week. The ESPI took a dive now -.17 for the last 30 days... signals a cold side of neutral ENSO is on it'a way.
