Hurricane Season 2006 is over!
Well - that was a very quiet season, thankfully - for most everyone (except for hardcore hurricane junkies I guess). Yes, it may have been "boring" if you are a severe weather fan, but the Caribbean needs some quiet years - both to rebuild (Grenada, Cayman) and to give travelers some confidence back and make the off season months a little easier on all the people throughout the region who depend on tourism to make a living. The Pacific is still brewing up storms (see below), but with the end of the Atlantic season two weeks behind us already, that should be it on named storms in the Caribbean for 2006. We will continue posting anything relevant we come across in the "off" season.
From Bloomberg:
Nov. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Tropical Storm Sergio grew stronger this morning off Mexico's Pacific Coast and may become the region's 10th hurricane of the season later today, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Sergio, the 19th named storm of the May-to-November Eastern Pacific hurricane season, churned the ocean 430 miles (692 km) south of Manzanillo with winds of 63 miles per hour (102 kilometers per hour), the Miami-based agency said. The storm has had little forward movement, said Alexio Avilla, senior hurricane specialist at the center.
