1000 visitors in 60 days!

On Saturday evening, September 27, 2008, at 6:25pm, just sixty days after adding visitor tracking to my blog, the tracking software reported it's 1000th visit! This blogging thing is fairly new to me as I have only been regularly writing since the big snow storm in early March, so I'm honored that you would take the time to read. I hope the next 1000 come even faster than the last! Be sure to tell your friends about this blog and pass on the URL, or just subscribe via the link on the right or set up an RSS feed so that you will be notified when I post!

In case you are interested, my trackers also tell me that my main website, MemphisWeather.net, receives an average of 35-40 unique visitors (nearly 70 total visits) per day, with gusts much higher than that during bad weather! ;-) These visitors are loading well over 100 pages a day. My peak in the past few months has been Sept. 2 when visitor count was over 120, with nearly 450 pages loaded!

Thanks again to all of you for your continued support of MWN and the MWN Blog!!

Hurricane Kyle to affect Maine

While the Atlantic tropical season has quieted down considerably since Ike, we now have another system churning through the western Atlantic. Kyle is moving due north between the east coast of the U.S. and Bermuda. With wind of 75 mph as of 4pm CDT, Kyle has just reached hurricane status. The current track takes the storm to the Maine/New Brunswick, Canada border overnight Sunday night. A Hurricane Watch is posted for much of the Maine coastline north of Portland.

Computer models are pointing to a possible system forming in the Gulf of Mexico in a few days and moving across the Florida Peninsula late in the week. We'll need to monitor this situation for possible development. Be sure to check out the MWN Tropical Page for the latest on current and any potential Atlantic storms.
