Well, Tropical Storm Ana, the first named storm of the season was barely a whimper when she finally went past the island. For a while it looked like she was heading right at us but then she slipped off to the south and fizzled out. By the time she passed us, she was down-graded to a tropical depression and then fell apart completely. The irony is there is more wind today - after the storm - than there was yesterday.
Hurricane Bill looks to be a pretty powerful storm but it's going way north of us (thank you!). Surfers here on PR's north coast and surfers up and down the US East Coast are hoping Bill generates some decent late-summer surfing swell.
There was another tropical disturbance off the coast of Africa behind Bill but that seems to have dropped off the map and radar.
There was lot of talk about these storms, a lot of buying up bottled water and other preparations. But this time it seems to be much ado about nothing. For now the horizon is clear and the weather is beautiful. And we're really grateful!
