2009 and we're back

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:18:00 GMT

TD Linfa passed over Fujian China these last 4 days.Heavy rain, occassional big gusts, nothing serious though.A small amount of street flooding was to be seen but other than that it was business as usual.Announced today TS4 is on its way towards Taiwan.Probably nothing too much to be concerned about there too.Remembering past years and their patterns, two small storms at such frequency early in the season may indicate a big one is going to land this year.I remember ...
