Mónica, a punto de golpear tierra. Esta vez no me lo pierdo, usualmente siempre me pillan dormido los golpeos de estos Ciclones en tierra.

Atentos que después de golpear tierra, volverá a adentrarse en el Océano con categoría 2 (escala australiana)

Esperemos que haga el menor mal posible 

Cita de: vigilant en Martes 18 Abril 2006 15:32:26 PM
Esperemos que haga el menor mal posible 

Gracias a Dios, va a golpear una zona muy poco poblada.

Ciclón Tropical MÓNICA (Huracán Categoría 1)

Según los pronosticos, cuando golpee tierra perderá fuerza de 3 a 2 (escala australiana), pero cuando se adentre de nuevo en tierra, volverá a fortalecerse. 

Impresionante Monica si...la verdad es que los australianos poco les queda por ver...

Saliendo un poco del tema, vuelvo a hacer referencia a mi querido mapa de probabilidades tropicales, y.... vaya movimiento que hay¡¡¡¡
Estoy empezando a observar movimiento por la zona del caribe, y sus alrededores, asi como cerca de cabo verde....prontito...

Pues sí, amigo Dani. La aparición de Alberto es inminente.  Además, cabe recordar que Delta nació en Cabo Verde.

Por lo que veo, voy a perderme nuevamente el golpeo de un Ciclón contra tierra. Espero estar para el 2º golpeo de Mónica a tierra. A resaltar que este Ciclón sigue ganando fuerza.
