Official Hurricane Thread

“In the other thread I SAID: NO is the new American Defense against Hurricanes...like Mobile Homes attract Tornados, NO attracts Hurricanes...

Have you noticed that the track now shows the storm crossing the tip of Florida into the Gulf?.......”

“ARRRGGGG!!!! Not again!

I'm buying some supplies tommrow just in case.”

“I do not like this 'new' track.

If I get hit again, I don't know what I'm going to do.”

“crap.”

“We'll have a house for sale soon.. ;P”

“I do not like this 'new' track.

If I get hit again, I don't know what I'm going to do.”
StoveStomper

You know stovie I've heard that New Mexico doesn't get hurricanes and there is a bunch of nice mountians to boot.


I've been watching this puppy since it was called 99L invest coming across the Atlantic. It was below 10 degress latitude and they said it was too low to form. It ran into dry Saharan Desert dust and dry air and they said it wouldn't form. It's running into shear and is being influenced by a upper level low in the Bahamas and they said it wouldn't form. Against all odds this tropical wave is getting it's act together for somebody. Current winds are up to 60 mph and pressure still droppind soon to be sub 1000mb storm. Time will tell. Get that hurricane kit together. I'm going to do a few things this evening and tommrow evening just in case Chris or one of his siblings come for a visit. Won't be doing any boarding until a storm is definite. My danger is mostly water so boarding doesn't do squat anyway. Good luck everybody the next 2 to 3 months could get shaky.

“looks like a nice beach weekend in the carolinas....

errr, I mean, I am praying for you gulf peeps”

“Watch and see how many people do it all over the same way.......

Like Ron White says: "Ya can't fix stupid!"”

“My butt will not be sitting in my house if it's headed my way.”

“I just know StoveStomper is looking for another good hurricane. With all his new insurance, he'll be able to retire rich! Good luck.”

“Might take an early retirement due to going nuts, ns. LOL”

“Stovie....I got a place off the lake out here in East Georgia...off I-20. You are welcome to relocate to it if it looks bad.”

“Thanks, but I always go stay with my parents that live about 40-50 miles inland.”

“One of the local forecasters said "It looks like Ernesto will be crossing the border later this week." Any bets as to how long until his a$$ is canned?”

“he better look out for the Ranch Rescue folks.”

“Maybe he meant the TX/LA border.

Hope like heck it isn't the LA/MS to MS/AL border. ;-)”

“http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200605_model.html


Oh s---, it looks like the models are showing a more northerly turn. Hold on, SS.”

“This may be exciting.”

“did I feel the breeze picking up?

nah....”

“look out, stove!”

“ Hurricane Ernesto on track to hit Florida

Now we're talking Hurricane and Matt pushes his super slow button.

“Why is it turning????”

“Ah, #&%!$. I don't need this.”

“Water temps 'round here (in the Gulf) running 87 - 89 degrees.”

“Still to early to tell where this thing is going.
Tampa folks should be getting ready. I have been this weekend.
Got my food, water, gas, etc.....”

“well i just checked the tracking of ernie and i guess i had better start getting ready. we always have to evacuate the beach house. we'll go up to our house in largo and stay with surfergirl. we have to go to home depot this afternoon and i guess they will be very busy, i'll let yall know.”

“Be well, cyndeee!”

“that blue spaghetti line is coming right by us! yikes, i'd better get going..”

“It's looks like another "Irene" is coming to visit. After Melbourne, maybe on to Long Island or New England.

Cyndeee, I'll trade you either the green or yellow spaghetti line for your blue one. In fact, I'll give you the two of them.

The weather forecaster on Channel 13 from Orlando this morning in reference to the prediction track said, "We're going to try to change that!" I wonder what the hell he plans to try to change a hurricane! These guys try to take so much credit, if one listens long enough, one will be convinced that these forecasters actually generate the weather. With a straight face these *&$%# can tell you that there is a 60% chance of rain, when it is pouring buckets.

“hey paul i forgot that you were back from the smokies.”

“we just came back frome home depot and winn dixie and neither store was busy. i guess tomorrrow i will start making my list for what i need and pulling in the patio funiture. i'll have to get my next door neighbors house secured(they live in california) and then help out my mom and dad and then surfergirls place. everyone except myself will probably be called into work if it looks like we're going to get hit. i guess it can be a good thing being un-employed. yep, it's been 1 year yesterday since i lost my job.”

“As of 8 pm, there's a not so nice convergence of 4 computer models over northeast Florida. I hope like hell this thing moves away.”

“It will, treebait. It's drifting down my way. I just hoping it stays in the Atlantic and misses Florida.”

“son of a #&%!$, this thing is gonna make for a wet labor day blueberry massacre in Grayson Highlands”

“cyndeee - Fret no more. I got them to remove that blue spaghetti line. It's no longer in the picture.

“we just need rain here in nc. I hope this storm maybe fizzles out and bring us some precip”

“I am betting, regardless of the track it misses...totally The CSRA (around Augusta Ga.)....I swear even natural disasters don't want to be there.”

“Lol XL, a bunch of the "Harry Potter" actors dropped out of DragonCon (this weekend in Atlanta) for some unknown reason... I mentioned the storm to some obsessed teenager fans on a certain website.

It's the wating for the storm that always gets to me. Whenever it finally arrives, I typically sleep through it. Those darned low pressure systems. Although I'm a little more concerned this time around, as we're about to put our house on the market.”

“The way the forecast has been turning to the right, maybe it will miss FL and go out to sea.”

“If it continues as projected it's not going to be a good weekend for travel in the southeast.”

“LOL..Stovie..it turns right, steam across the Altantic and wipes out Spain and France...(LOL).

Nah I just heard that they are forecasting a colder winter!!!!!! MAN I love cool weather for camping (heck even cold is fun.)”

“ICE AGE!!!!!!”

“looks like its going up the east coast now. watch out nowslimmer and treebait!”

“So I've been watching local noontime news... nothing but "Panic! panic! panic!" and "Oh yeah, buy more batteries" to report. That, and some woman is in critical from walking in front of a car at 6:30 this morning.”

“Looks like it's headed for Washington D.C.

:)”

“Headed for MONTANA....EVERYONE IN MONTANA begin formulating your "Blame BUSH" plan. ....unless you are a Conservative State like (Mississippi) then you are on your own.”

“LOL...I love the strategically placed TWO MEN AND A TRUCK moving advertisement.”

“

Maybe it will be back down to a Tropical Depression by the time it gets to you, NS.
It's barely a TS right now.”
