The following chart helps you tell when the tides peak in 2010 by showing when the lunar perigee, the moon's monthly close point to the earth, occurs in relationship to the times of new and full moons. We can see that the August perigee occurs 14 hours after a new moon (N + 14) while in Septmber it occurs 6 hours before the new moon (N -6). We know that Atlantic hurricane season is 26 weeks long; the half of the year from June 1 to December 1. We also know that 80% of Atlantic hurricanes happen in Aug, Sept and Oct, and that they peak in number, the week of September 8th. The infamous Galveston Hurricane of 1900 made landfall on Sept 8th that year. You can see the perigee data for 1900 above. Serious students will want to note that Jupiter conjoins Uranus in September 2010, as it did in 1900 and in 1928, the year of the Lake Okechobee storm. It has been suggested that storms tend to resonate and get worse on the second and third lunar month after a tidal peak. Above we see the peak marked 2, a pre-cursor event marked 1, and the second and third months after the peak marked 3 and 4. The suggestion is that, while I expect a big storm the week of Sept 8th, chances are good that even worse storms will form after that. Consider the 2005 hurricane season depicted above. 2005 was about a picture perfect fit to the template. Precursor, peak, spike and climax. 1,2,3 and 4. The tides peaked July 21 in 2005. Hurricane Wilma was the most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin. Hurricane Rita was the fourth-most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the most intense tropical cyclone ever observed in the Gulf of Mexico. Note that Rita and Wilma followed KATRINA!!
