You’re on the fringes of the cone, buddy, so don’t be so sure it won’t end up in your backyard. Not worried here. At least not until Saturday, when there will be a far better idea where it will end up. -D > On Aug 29, 2019, at 1:42 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > Looks like CAT4

Yeah I am watching that, these things can be a surprise up to the end.  If it sticks on the current path and turns north after coming ashore, we'll get some solid rains --R On 8/29/19 1:47 PM, Dan--- via Mercedes wrote: You’re on the fringes of the cone, buddy, so don’t be so sure it won’t en

The models don’t agree on 3+ days out. One shows it going south, making landfall around Miami, the other swinging north. If either one works out we’ll miss it for the most part and just get wind and rain. At least that’s what I’m hoping for. If not, Saturday the storm shutters go up. -D > On A

Right now our forecast is for minor drama and alarm, designed to impress the tourists and scare off the truly skittish folk, gradually increasing (especially during primetime viewing hours) to outright panic by Friday night, with sheer terror for the rest of the weekend and then incredible tension

We’re full on clear out the shelves of water, toilet paper, gasoline and plywood mode. I topped off all of our supplies on Monday. Yawn. Got gas at Costco last night. Every lane was probably eight cars deep, but it moved quickly and orderly. That was the ML, which really didn’t need to be toppe

I remember watching TV a couple of years back when there was a hurricane threatening Hawaii. The reporters stood on the beaches and went on on and on about the potential dangers of the storm etc. The longer it went on, the more desperate they sounded. They were so disappointed that the storm mi

Is this where we roll out the clip of the reporter in a canoe talking about the terrible flooding until a guy walks through the shot showing that the water is only a few inches deep? A real favorite of mine. :) -Curt On Thursday, August 29, 2019, 3:51:54 PM EDT, Randy Bennell via Mercedes

Yeah and likely coming up and over us mid week with some wind and probably lots of rain. My buddy and I are going out this weekend to deploy our water monitoring gear to get some good data from a large storm event. We have 4 probes to place. Last night I was coming home over the bridge at sun

King tides are occurring this week, making things even worse with the hurricane. Most people don’t understand that the majority of the damage from hurricanes isn’t from the wind, but from the water in the forms of rain, flooding and storm surge. -D Hatches ready to be battened > On Aug 30, 201

Well the sea is rising around here, but it started happening before Trump, so there's that... It's actually due to a very slight slowdown of the Gulf Stream, you can do the homework on why that has happened... --FT On 8/30/19 10:40 AM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes wrote: Glad you're part of it
