Tropical Storm Erika charged into the teeth of Hispaniola's high mountains on Friday night, and emerged from the encounter shattered, without a closed circulation, and is no longer a tropical storm.
REMNANTS OF ERIKA SPECIAL ADVISORY NUMBER 19
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL052015
930 AM EDT SAT AUG 29 2015
...ERIKA DEGENERATES TO A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE...
We are pleased that we did not have the opportunity to meet you TS Erika.
What did we learn from this? I look at it as an opportunity to make sure the updated Palmetto Bay emergency operation plan was ready and could be implemented if needed. It is ready. It was implemented professionally and smoothly. Now we can improve on it and be ready for what will hopefully be the next close call.
There will be no further advisories issued regarding Erika - See The official NOAA website: Remnants of ERIKA Public Advisory
