Regions Most Likely to See Tropical Storm & Hurricanes in 2007

Ø MEXICO, TEXAS, LOUISIANA – HURRICANES/HEAVY RAINS/FLOODING

Ø KANSAS & MISSOURI – REMNANTS OF HURRICANES & TROPICAL DOWNPOURS, FLOODING

Ø WESTERN HEARTLAND & SOUTHWEST – EFFECTS OF HURRICANES & TROPICAL DOWNPOURS, HEAVY FLASH FLOODING

Ø CITIES AFFECTED:
Corpus Christi, TX; Brownsville, TX; Galveston, TX; Houston, TX; Missouri City, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Tulsa, Okla., Wichita, Kan., Memphis, TN; with storm activity striking possibly as far inland to the west as Laredo, TX, and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.

COMMENTS: Hurricane and tropical storm season in 2007 will be unusual this year due to astronomical transits, swinging more to the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Affecting the state of eastern Texas and flooding the San Antonio River.

The resulting storms will affect the central regions of Texas and Louisiana with the resulting heavy rains and flash floods in parts of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri.

Expect tropical storm and hurricane development this year to be active than normal in 2007 due to astronomical transits and to generally pick up at the end of June, but picking up strength and frequency in the month of August and September.

Climate conditions in the Southeastern U.S. will be drier than normal leading to loss of crops and the spreading of wildfires. Transits show a drought climate beginning in the Southeast, and from time to time leading up through parts of the Eastern coastline as far as the Mid-Atlantic and into regions of New England.

Expect the drier than normal climate to continue throughout the summer and fall seasons with dangerously low water levels in this region. Drought conditions will continue in the South and Southeastern U.S., with dangerously low water levels affecting the entire region ~ especially Alabama, Georgia and Florida this year. Transits indicate a severe drought is on the way and will continue through 2007 and into 2008 for the Southeastern U.S.

Drought conditions for farmers in parts of the Heartland, and Southeast will be difficult this year, and into 2008 because of astronomical transits relative to the Earth. Crop damage will continue in the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida because of the drier than normal climate environment and lack of rain through the summer and Fall Seasons of 2007.

Warmer and drier than average climate will rule during the next several seasons, and continue for about the next three (3) years in the Heartland and Southeastern U.S.

Expect drier than normal conditions to continue in those regions from Spring 2007 to Spring 2010. Very specific crop seeding and harvesting dates should be applied during this three-year span of drought in parts of the lower Heartland, in states like Tennessee, and especially throughout the Southeast.

The Hurricane season this year will pick up strength in the month of August with the ingress of MARS IN GEMINI. This was the position of Mars during the historic strike on the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Mars’s cycle is generally every 2.5 years ~ I expect 2007 to have above average development of tropical storms and hurricanes.

Climate conditions, particularly in the Southeastern U.S. will be drier than normal leading to increased threats of lost crops and wildfires. Transits show drought conditions in the Southeast. Expect the drier than normal climate to continue throughout the summer and fall seasons with dangerously low water levels in this region.

The year 2007 is an unusual year for weather and climate with heavier than normal rains for the Southwest, including Texas, and drought conditions into the Heartland and Southeastern states.

Wildfires will continue to be a serious threat throughout the Southeast and parts of the Mid-Atlantic States. Warmer than average summer and fall season temperatures exacerbate the wildfire situations in parts of the West, Heartland, and Southeast due to the windy and very dry climate conditions.

Those regions slated for tropical storm and hurricanes ~ especially in parts of western Louisiana, Texas and Mexico should prepare by having emergency plans ready for evacuations.

Stay Safe Out There.
