Full Moon and a Cat5 Hurricane

<snip>
The next full moon will come this Tuesday, September 5th, which also happens to be the (unofficial) start of the fall season!

Viewing looks good for Tuesday night. Skies will be mostly clear, as clouds are not expected to build in again until Wednesday morning. It will be cool though, so grab a light sweater or blanket before you head out. Temperatures will fall into the 60s about an hour after sunset.

The Fruit Moon: September’s full moon is known as the Fruit Moon, but the Harvest Moon also usually falls in September. The full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, which falls on September 22, is the year’s harvest moon. This year October’s full moon, which falls on October 5th, will be closer to the equinox and so will be this year’s Harvest Moon.

I wonder about those high tides in some of those flat islands

1. Tides come in, tides go out. No one knows why...

Lunar climate change?

2. Where is that guy?

3. My eldest daughter's birthday is today--she is 26

She is currently walking around Mt Blanc in the Alps. She was my 42nd birthday
present (I'm on the 7th).

7. How lovely

Hope its clear up there

9. Where I live in Cochise County, Az, has the best weather

of anywhere I've lived. No floods, no hurricanes, no tornadoes,
no blizzards, no extreme heat. 4600 foot elevation, lots of mountains,
trees, not too many people. Great weather here. Come visit.
Either that or I'm coming to Jamaica on my next trip.

10. LOL - sounds great

I think you'll reach Jamaica first. These days I come to the US for family gatherings and not all of them.

19. Lunch on me in Port Royal for you and your husband.

Gloria's-- right?

20. Ha

Cool -you know my favorite restaurant

12. Are you in Bisbee?

[panader0]

18. I'm between Sierra Vista and Bisbee.

I lived in Bisbee for a while--a great little town.

23. I went to school with Art Car Lady.

5. This is the full moon that follows

The great American eclipse new moon two weeks ago. Just a coincidence that we had a massive Houston hurricane one week after, and that now we're having a massive Irma hurricane two weeks later as the moon reaches Fullness.

Crazy coincidence, eh?

8. And the biggest LA fire

as well

6. Viewing was better last night than it will be tonight/morning.

Overcast sky already here.

[malaise]

11. I actually thought last night was full moon - it was lovely

[elleng]

14. Yes, mal, it was. Check my FB!

[malaise]

15. Not on Facebook

[elleng]

16. Sorry!

'New' Photobucket and my new camera make it too difficult to post pics here.

[mainer]

13. Also means huge hurricane tides.

Not a nice confluence

[malaise]

17. That was my worry

Just for context look at the hurricane versus the size of those poor islands

21. My little house is 50 feet from the Ocean in Key Largo.

I just happen to be visiting family in Indiana this month and have no idea what I will return to. Fortunately my Keys family will evacuate in the morning and join me up here. They are teachers and they closed the schools. The Keys are quite experienced at evacs, fortunately. Everything can be replaced except for lives. I did ask my daughter to grab some picture albums and my last year's tax returns, lol! (Uncle Sam will still want his cut when April rolls around)

22. Glad you're safe

I agree with you 100%
Everything can be replaced except lives
