Hurricane Tomas turned Tropical Storm turning Hurricane again?
Tropical Storm Tomas, which was a hurricane just last weekend, may be gearing up for hurricane strength again. The storm has already caused serious damage in its path. Hurricane warnings are issued for Haiti, southeastern Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands. Hurricane conditions could occur by Friday.
Rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected in Jamaica, but in Haiti and the Dominican Republic rainfall could total 5 to 10 inches with some amounts up to 15 inches possible in the mountains. Life-threatening flooding and mud slides are likely in and around the mountains.
Tomas has already caused major damage to areas of the Caribbean and Puerto Rico. From major cracks in highways to washed away roads to flash floods to sever water damage, the devastation wrought by Tomas is unbelievable and fortunately, no fatalities have been reported.

10 Hurricanes for the 2010 Season So Far
At the beginning of the 2010 season, you may remember that the NOAA predicted that there would be 8-14 hurricanes and 14-23 tropical storms this season! Well, they were right on the money!
To date, there have been 10 hurricanes and 7 tropical storms named in the Atlantic alone. The Pacific has seen four tropical storms and 3 hurricanes. The most recent hurricane, Hurricane Richard, blasted Belize just a few days ago. The next name awaiting a storm in the 2010 roster would be Shary. Currently, there are three patches of disturbance in the Atlantic; however, meteorologists predict little threat from them.
An interesting fact: The last time there was a hurricane in the Atlantic during October was in 2008 when Hurricane Omar swept through the Caribbean between the dates of October 13-18.

Kentucky Flood Damage and Disaster
The poor victims of this weekend’s extraordinary flooding in Kentucky are in our thoughts today. After 2 confirmed and possibly 3 more fatalities and over two hundred destroyed homes, the residents of Pike County, Kentucky, are in desperate need of help and support.
Rescue crews have been working around the clock to save people stranded by the weekend storms. Governor Beshear has declared a State of Emergency. Approximately 400 residents remain without power in Pike County, down from more than 7,000 Sunday. Approximately 13,500 residents are without water, and another 13,000 are under a boil water advisory.
The rain was so heavy that a man was swept up in a flash flood as seen here: Kentucky Man Swept Away by Flash Flood

NOAA Predicts Number of Hurricanes and Tropical Storms for 2010
NOAA predicts that there will be 8-14 hurricanes and 14-23 tropical storms this season! This is contrary to 2009′s Atlantic Hurricane Season in which only 9 tropical storms formed, the fewest since 1997.
Interestingly enough, the 2009 season’s first tropical depression formed on May 28, 4 days prior to the official start of Atlantic hurricane Season. Out of the 9 tropical storms, 3 became hurricanes of which one was a major hurricane. The first and strongest hurricane was Hurricane Bill: it was a category 4 and lasted from August 15-24. Bill hit Nova Scotia, Canada, and made landfall in Newfoundland.
Apparently, the inactivity of the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season resulted from El Nino. Unfortunately, inactive as the season was, six people were killed in tropical cyclone-related incidents and total losses reached roughly $77 million.
FYI: The NOAA had forecasted 4-6 hurricanes in 2009. Let’s hope the official number of hurricanes this year comes in under their prediction.

Lawsuit Drama in the Midst of Flood Damage Crisis Nashville
Today we read an article portraying recent events in Nashville. Further to the drama created by the extreme flood of 2010, the city now has a lawsuit on its hands. Apparently, when President Obama declared the area a disaster area, making it able to receive federal aid, the city opened up a bid for the city water cleanup to disaster recovery companies. As cited in the article, the job was both given and taken away to the lowest bidder on the same day because the company, Bamaco Inc., could not deliver a performance bond. Bamaco now has the city tangled up in a lawsuit that “appears to be mainly focused on extracting damages from the city” and Bamaco’s lawyers have “suggested that bidding irregularities could lead the federal government to strip Metro Nashville of the aid from Washington that it is counting on as flood recovery efforts continue”.
Who says that disaster recovery is boring?
An interesting note here is that Bamaco has a history of filing suits around disaster periods. Ironically, the Attorney for Bamaco states, “We recognize that filing a lawsuit in the context of an enormous disaster, when the city is in a recovery mode, is something where we’ve got to tread very lightly…But gosh, we also feel like these are the times when it is most important that the government follow fair procedures.”
It is certain that this suit will go on for a while. In the meantime, it is our hope that the parties get everything figured out to a point where the citizens of the area are not affected negatively. The residents of Davidson County have suffered enough and desperately need their cities and streets to be cleaned up.
