That's why Aruba is so much better, it's out of the hurricane belt.
 
Neither has Alaska! Just saying, it can still happen.
Article says no such thing as hurricane belt and it can happen.

Aruba has just been lucky!

It has nothing to do with "luck". It has everything to do with location.
 
That is what I thought about Puerta Vallarta too Hogan. Given the shape and location it is very rare for a hurricane to make landfall there or even make a ton of waves. However, my one and only visit there in 2002 Hurricane Kenna hooked a right and hit us dead center on day three of our vacation. Strongest Pacific hurricane on record. Everyone was so convinced it too would pass by that no evacuations were placed. We escaped our beachfront hotel during the eye of the hurricane. Yep. Never say never.

Aruba has not been lucky. Hurricane generally develop north of the ABC Islands. Yes, a hurricane could hit Aruba, but the odds are extremely lower than st marteen, usvi, bvi, pr, dr, etc.. Reality is the odds of a hurricane hotting any carribean island is low, but it happens and will happen again in our lifetime.. Very good chance Aruba won't get hit in our lifetime.
 
Hope it follows that route. I don't have time, I'm retired, to deal with a storm.
 
Tropical systems always slide north as they moved west, they really can t it locations as far south of Aruba... That said, of course it could happen like a few years back for the first time ever a storm hit the leewards from the west!

Planning a trip to the Carib at this time of the year is always a gamble although when it comes to st Martin/Maarten I d be more concern about crime then a hurricane :)

Danny is small and about to hit a wall of dry air and El Niño induced wind shear aloft... It s history
 
I wonder what the future holds for weather. I mean think about it, if a hurricane can hit a wall of dry air and die out, why can't we make something that forces that hand or is it too far fetched?

I doubt it will be in my lifetime, but I am sure 100 years into the future they will figure out how to seed clouds or force weather to adjust to avoid catastrophes like hurricanes.
 
I did my anti hurricane dance a few days ago. Dragged the generator out, put some gas in it, started right up, ran under a load for a bit, let it run the carb dry, drained the gas out of the tank, put it away. That ought to do it.

Danny is as good as history & the 'area of interest' that we have been in for the past week has been some of the nicest weather of the summer.

Dave, I believe the Governor Jesse Ventura (Janos) in his WebCast "Off the Grid" and Alex Jones have this covered. Then again they might dismiss Cloud Seeding as being the work of the various HARP transmitters located around the Globe. (LOL)
 
Looking at the 8 PM data, Danny has been downgraded to a tropical storm with 65 MPH sustained winds, so it looks like it will not be so much of a threat.
 
Looks like Danny is "history" as Pascal and skeptics predicted. Note that the sustained wind has dropped to 50 mph:

Atlantic Hurricanes are tempered during El Nino events as presently existing in the Pacific and the Atlantic water temperatures are apparently "too cool" despite what the alarmists claim. Where are the more frequent Atlantic Hurricane landfalls and "global warming" claimed by alarmists. There has been no warming for over 18 years according to the UAH satellite data.
