Deadly Hurricane Noel to Hit Florida

As a Tropical Storm Noel has already killed 37 people in Haiti and sent 1,000s to evacuate to shelters, at that time the winds were only about 50 miles per hour, but since then the winds have drastically increased. There was flash flooding warning in Puerto Rico as well, with at least 8-inches of rain expected. The ports had to be closed and Weather Experts fear that this is the late storm scenario that they had feared.

This 2007 Atlantic Tropical Season appears to be light, but late October - Early November Hurricanes that have hit the US Coast have historically been problematic and sometimes wicked. Noel is already a killer storm and it will grow as it leaves the coast of Cuba and if could either enter the Gulf of Mexico or hit Florida and bush its way up the US Eastern Seaboard, which is not a very pleasant thought considering the West Coast Wildfires, our nation has had enough for one year already.

The NOAA and National Hurricane Center are keeping a close eye on this one, as it re-forms into a stronger storm and Hurricane. The Hurricane Hunters have been dispatched as well and the satellite images and Infrared show a pretty large footprint and circulation, as Hurricane Noel has a lot of pent up energy and if it all comes together in a focused blow to the US Coastline it could cost billions of dollars in damage and tremendous flooding too.

Floridians were already getting prepared 5-days before the expected landfall, they know all too well how damaging these storms can be, and they are not taking any chances with the Deadly Hurricane Noel and for good reason.
