Hurricane season in the Atlantic has been mostly quiet thankfully and us folks in Florida haven’t had any tropical cyclones at all this season. Those of you who don’t know, I live in Homestead Florida. Just south of Miami, and its been pouring and leaking through my roof quiet a bit. Thankfully things have quieted again, blues skies are showing and while there are rumblings of thunder away from here I’m happy to report I’m dry for the moment. Now though, the second named storm of the season heads to the Gulf of Mexico. Halting the progress on the relief well that is nearly complete for up to two weeks. The cap at least will continue to hold the oil from further spewing forth, but alas it will be quiet a bit time before they get back to killing the well. So stay dry and enjoy the image as well as video below. Both are from the NOAA GOES-13 satellite, for further updates on Bonnie I’d suggest the National Hurricane Center.

This visible image from the GOES-13 satellite on July 23 at 1140 UTC (7:40 am. EDT) shows Tropical Storm Bonnie’s cloud-covered center south of Miami, Fla.
