Alberto Lopez
It should have more time over the water so it could potentially be stronger than (Tropical Storm) Charley.
Richard Pasch

Andrew Crosby
This is the second warmest year we've ever seen over the tropical Atlantic. It's pretty toasty out there.
Phil Klotzbach
It will be very interesting. Everybody is keeping a close eye on how this develops here. Lights react in different ways in different parts of the world. I do not know how much dew plays a part, especially in a tropical climate. We will just have to wait and see how the first game goes and assess the situation.
Vikram Solanki
Given the tiny amount of good quality tropical forest remaining on Mauritius, this development can only be viewed as catastrophic to the native biodiversity.

Duane Gapinski
Although we have already seen a record-setting seven tropical storms during June and July, much of the season's activity is still to come.
Gerry Bell
It is still quite large. We will have hurricane-force and tropical storm-force winds covering a large area.
Jack Beven
This is something that is not common. Especially coming off one of the driest months of the year. It's a remarkable pattern in terms of heavy rainfall without the remnants of a tropical system or hurricane. It's dramatic after a long period of dry weather being dramatically broken by long periods of prolonged rain. This is usually a quiet month.
Tim Morrin
Right now, we're between bands. This is strong, tropical air coming right up on us.
Fritz Coleman
The big pain that we need to watch going forward are tropical force winds. With that, we hope that the levee system is going to hold.
C. Ray Nagin
Arctic energy from Canada was driving steadily southward, while this ball of tropical energy from the hurricane was moving northward. When they met, it caused this storm to explode, in weather terms.
David Vallee
Providing these catalogues would be helpful in attracting tourists from tropical countries which do not have snow. Constructing artificial ski resort is very expensive and is not economic at all.
Saeed Moradi
With afternoon thunderstorms and daytime heat, stalled out cold fronts, and the Gulf starting to open up, all scenarios offer us a better chance of rain than was the case for last two months. June is the beginning of tropical storm and hurricane season.

Paul Mackel
That doesn't mean it will blow tropical storm force winds for six hours or 12 hours. It could be one minute or three, but it means if you have awnings that can't withstand tropical force winds, you should take them down.
Stacy Stewart
The Texas coast is in for a long period of tropical activity.
Joe Bastardi
I think that's on the heels of the latest tropical storm going through the Caribbean that may have an impact on supply.
Arthur Hogan
We tried to tell the builders to lay them down or try and move them next to a building, ... There wasn't a lot we could do. If we wanted to pick them all up, we'd have to get started once a (tropical) wave comes off Africa.

Stacy Stewart
We don't know what effect it may have to remove so many top predators from a complex tropical ecosystem, but it's likely to be bad news.
Richard Shine
The hurricanes are following the tropical ocean temperature. The tropical ocean temperature is following the Northern Hemisphere. And it's very hard now to believe that there's anything natural about that.

Right now we are not mentioning anything heavy, subject to change. Essentially the atmosphere is very unstable. We have a trough west of our area that's drawing all of this unstable, moist tropical air.
Norman Hui
It's the largest tropical storm we've ever had, ... It's engulfed the entire state. This is going to be a while to get back to normal.
Toni Jennings
It's the climate. If it was cold and not as humid, I would probably be doing slower music. Tropical music is daytime music. Happy music.
Javier Garcia

Tropical storm force (winds of at least 73 mph/117 km/h) is probably about all we'll see here in Dade and Broward counties.
Miles Lawrence
Tropical music is changing, and it's changing in the sense that it's returning to its roots, which is a more urban salsa sound, more reflective of what happens in the streets.
Lorenzo Braun
We had a large tropical storm go through and we could not open the fair. We open Friday at one and we couldn't open at one.
Barbara Puffer
It's going to be a mess. For athletes, I hope it didn't mess their future plans up. We had scares two years ago when I was there with tropical storms and stuff like that that would flood the streets. The difference was the water would be gone the next day. It's definitely serious now, with all the water staying.
Dan Fitzgerald
Generally speaking, we came through fairly well. There's a lesson here: to acknowledge the power of a tropical cyclone.
Tony Carper
The climate pattern is worsening and sea temperatures ?n tropical areas has risen, increasing the risk of high winds.
Jacques Aigrain
Very Balinese, very Indonesian, and yet it draws on a lot of tropical influences as well. You will see certain elements of Australia and certain elements of the Caribbean, and we have created a -- a tropical frenzy, if you like. But all the species, all the plants that are here are from Bali. There is nothing that is imported.
Neil Jacobs
I particularly love Legorreta's use of vivid pink, set off by sun and the tough, tropical nature of Mexico.
Richard Rogers

Cheryl Miller
Politics, just like the tropical forest, feeds itself from its own waste.
Paul Carvel
We're grappling with how and where these waves originate, because about one in every ten will form into a named tropical storm. This shows us the amplitude and strength of these waves as they come off Africa and into the Atlantic.
Chris Velden
If it gets in the Gulf, the water is warm there, so it would have fuel to intensify. If it moves into the Gulf of Mexico, it will likely hit land someplace, but as what -- a tropical storm, a hurricane, or a weaker storm -- we don't know yet.
Mark Mcinerney
There is the potential for additional tropical storms and hurricanes to form this season, but it's too early to know exactly where they will develop or if they will affect land.
Scott Kiser
The very active season we have seen to this point is far from over. We expect that by the time the 2005 hurricane season is over, we will witness seasonal tropical cyclone activity at near-record levels.

Jamie Rhome
Ghana embarked on independence as one of the richest tropical countries in the world, with an efficient civil service, an impartial judiciary and a prosperous middle class.
Martin Meredith
Cirrus clouds are like a blanket. They trap heat in the system. That energy has to escape somehow. If enough energy is trapped and stored in the system, it can escape from the tropical ocean in the form of a hurricane, or in a big rain event like a 'Pineapple Express,' which is a deep flow of moisture in the tropics like we recently had hit the East Coast.
Jay Mace
The rest of the globe that has 88% of the tropical storms hasn't changed, ... If I'm proven wrong, I will jump off the highest peak in Colorado.
