FLHurricane.com: Still Quiet

The storm this week was not tropical in nature but it sure had the sort of winds that can be considered in the "damaging" category, and plenty of tornadoes too.

Sitting here at my home on the water, there was a several-hour period that I thought we had a Cat 1 hurricane coming in in terms of wave/water action, and the wind was nothing shabby either - while winds in the "damaging" category were only around for a couple of hours, it was definitely a fairly wild ride.

That's two "non-tropical" storms with severe weather that we've had this fall..... I'll take it if that's our alternative to hurricanes!

I see the model support for what the above poster is pointing out, but the water off the east coast isn't warm enough to sustain anything truly tropical. Could be a fairly nasty nor'easter tho if it comes a bit further west..... the east coast has been getting hammered with "non-tropical ugliness" this fall and this could be another example.
