Tropical Storm "Debby" (6/25)

Tropical storm "Debby" formed in the NE Gulf Of Mexico on June 24. This was the FOURTH named tropical cyclone of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. In the image below, the "topside" of TS Debby can be seen from a high-flying commercial airliner (en-route from Toronto to Miami) at nearly 43,000 feet!


In the next image below, the storm can be seen as of June 26 as it was about to cross N Florida as a weak tropical storm / depression.



No intercept was done on the storm because of its weak structure. Debby caused severe flooding in Northern Florida, as well as some tornadoes on June 24 in other parts of the state. 2012 has got off to an extremely busy start, with four named storms before the end of June!
