Tropical Storm Alice in Open Atlantic
Miami – Tropical Storm Alice formed Tuesday in the open Atlantic, becoming the first named storm of this hurricane season and is likely to grow.
Alice had top sustained winds near 40 mph, 1 mph over the 39 mph threshold for a tropical storm, and it was expected to slowly intensify to hurricane strength, according to the National Hurricane Center.
"Our forecast does have it becoming a hurricane by Saturday afternoon " minimal hurricane, Category 1, but it’s flight path should keep it well away from the coast staying safely out at sea." Said Bruce Mackey, a meteorologist at the hurricane center.
Hurricanes have sustained winds of at least 74 mph; Category 1 storms have top sustained winds of up to 95 mph.
It was still too early to tell if it would hit the United States, Mackey said.
At 11 a.m. EDT, the storm was centered 935 miles east of the Lesser Antilles and was moving west at about 12 mph, forecasters said. Its tropical storm-force wind extended 115 miles from its center.
"Alice developed at the start of the hurricane season over warm Atlantic water, the source of energy for storm development." Mackey said.
The storm is projected to stay far off the eastern coast of The United States and dissipate safely out at sea.
Last year’s Atlantic storm season set a record with 28 named storms and 15 hurricanes, including Simon, which devastated the Southern Florida coast.
The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season has not been as rough as initially feared. The National Hurricane Center lowered its Atlantic storm forecast in August to between 12 and 15 named storms and seven to nine hurricanes. Forecaster Brittian Grey downgraded his expectations for the season Friday to 13 named storms and five hurricanes, which would be a slightly below-average season.

"Alice I thought you wanted to help? So far all you’ve done is move boxes around." Bette points out while sorting through which art magazines she wants to keep and which she’s going to throw away. She had two distinct piles going. Unfortunately the toss out pile was a lot smaller than the keep and file for the move pile.
Alice smirked, "Well who would of thought you would accumulate so much …" Alice hesitates here looking first at Bette before continuing, "… SHIT … in the last seven or so years!" Alice figures Bette was in such a good mood since returning from her week at the beach with Tina that she could get away with this one.

I was thinking the same as the others. Like what does the storm have to do with it, then I remembered. She’ll be safe right? So glad to see B&T together.
Yeah this is so very nice to see…..Looking 4ward to more…
Do I earn extra points for having read this while dressed in red and grey? (Seriously, red scrubs, grey t-shirt) As you know, I’m an O.U. alum, but owe my conception to Ohio State. My parents met there, just about the time the last ice age ended. Now can I just leave it at that, cause I don’t want to offend pancha? I suppose we’ll soon find out who the bigger blowhard is, Alice or Alice.
I hope this doesn’t mean an “evacuation” for either Bette or Tina. Loving the story very much.
hmmm what are you brewing ms. j? looking forward to the next installment. have a great time on your ‘business’ trip. love having you writing again. thanks.
Yahoo…Jwet awesome chapter…Loving the connection…Go STEELERS…..thanks
Thar she Blows!
I enjoyed this chapter, but I’m confused. Bette and Tina are back in LA and Angelica is still at camp in NC?
Oh Thank you for keeping Alice away from Florida. Way to many hurricanes in the last two years. I was trying to figure out what the significance of hurricane Alice was then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Angelica is in North Carolina and I bet the storm is heading right for them. It is so damn hard sitting and waiting knowing that your life will change drastically in a matter of hours once the storm hits.
See you did know that I would need calm so I could just go to bed. Thank you. Hope you find a great place to watch the game…..Go Bucks!!!!!
I love this story…have a safe trip and please keep Angelica safe. If the storm does hit…don’t let Tina blame Bette for sending her to camp all the way in NC.
Excellent as usual, Jwet.
ahhh, so wonderful…yes I see your calm before the STORM, tks, I love this..
Great connection between B&T,look for to some B&T loving, post again soon.
well storm can be metaphorical or real, i hope angie’s camp isn’t on it’s path
Thanks for the post! Oh dear calm before the storm, almost literally. Guess both will panic like mad. Ok, here’s to next week. Have a productive weekend! Take care.
Glad you went for the comfort. It is just what I needed this morning. Oh, and the support and guidance…that goes both ways my friend…both ways. Thank you.
Hy JWet, Happy to hear that all is going well with you. Am about to change job which will involve more travel so charge up and ready to rock. So have a successful trip and hope you have time to write more Resume chapters. Pul-lease. And back to this terrific tale. Wonderful and warm writing. There is always a sense of love and longing between your Bette and Tina. Time and mistakes may have kept them apart however there is such an intense connection between them that cannot be overwhelmed or broken. You have given it a chance to nurture and consume the gals’ hearts. Now they desire each other again and it motivates them to take a chance and renew their relationship. The aside re Hurricane Alice had me thinking that Alice was getting into a frenzy about this resurfacing of adour and affection causing her to blow her top and go all whirlwind on B&T. Maybe later. The gang back together is adorable. Thank you some much for providing a safe harbor during this turbulent storm. Can’t wait to see where this voyage sails to. Your Loyal Fan. PS – You just make a bad day into a glad day by posting a chapter. Thank you.
Man I’m slow. I kept thinking, “WTF does a storm have to do with anything other than it being named Alice?” It never dawned on me that DURRRRRRRRRR Angelica is still at camp. I’m also wondering if the name offers some foreshadowing as well.
Another great chapter full of what we all love – just pure B&T in the place they should be!
Oh Lovely! Thanks jwet! So at last B&T are where they belong. I was also very slow in trying to figure out what was all this about the storm. LOL! Didnt dawn that Angie was still at the camp. ^_^
A new chapter from you is such a treat although I’m not happy about waiting an entire week for another. I love the ease, comfort and passion of their relationship. Here comes the drama. Take care of yourself.
Do you have a lot of hurricanes in your area? I know I always have one eye on the weather during Hurricane season, but that’s because of where I live and what I do….huh. Anyway, thanks for this, but I would think Angelica’s “camp” would have called her by now….so; I hope little Angie does not have any problems at camp. After last year’s Katrina…that’s too scary! I hope you have a good business weekend. Oh, yeah, football. Which game are you cheering for on Saturday? I’m waiting for the NY Gaints/Indi Colts game! Oh yeah! Thanks for this…more soon????
nice one…
Storm Alice just love it. Bette and Tina together like this is real nice. Thank you
Have a safe trip. Watch out for those storm clouds. Ill winds will be blowing. Longhorns have inexperienced QB, your Buckeyes should have the advantage.
This is wonderful!
So now I’ve been catching up and this is a great story, I love where B&T are right now, comfort is great :o)) But I’m a little confused, are Bette moving in right after the week away and is Angel still at camp??
