Local Report: From SC
Seeing some clearning skys, but a possible rain band coming in from the East in the next few hours... looks like it might stay out of my area though. Saw the sun momentairily before it set. We're still getting some 20MPH winds.

It's probably just a temporary wobble. Large hurricanes like this wobble very erratically.
Look at this microwave image of her as of late, she's basically been on a drunken stumble.
You can say that again! Looks like she's had a few!

« on: August 23, 2011, 12:59:38 AM »Depending on how some people want to look at the situation, it's either unfortunate or a good thing that Irene's projected path keeps turning in a northeasterly direction towards the end of the week. It looks extremely close to the US, so effects will definitely be felt, but I am now starting to wonder if it's going to make a US landfall at all, or have the eye wall/eye every so slightly brush the east coast. The models have really been shifting around all day.And that is the question of the day! Everyone here keeps asking it... We're just going to have to ride out the next day or two before we start making landfall or not predictions.

« on: August 22, 2011, 05:11:19 PM »Haven't heard of that... Really Good to hear they're getting ready though.Short Story... Today in guy class, well after gym in the lobby... My heart literally dropped... The teacher upright said "Guys, we have a category 3 Hurricane potentially coming by NHC"........ I'm quite nervous, but right now there isn't nearly much concern as there will be potentially Thursday/Friday... I'm just outside Charleston, SC. I'm seeing a trend with the models shifting to the east, so possibly this thing will miss with its most distructive part... None the less, category 3 isn't something we on the SE Coast want to play with.. Get ready now.
I'm sure your teacher was just as concerned as anyone would be, but to say something like that when there's still uncertainty in the track is not really a good idea, but it's always good to prepare anyway to be on the safe side. I've heard what I considered to be good news from Savannah, GA on the local news. Residents are taking the time to brace for Irene now by buying hurricane supplies and even calling into the NWS/Emergency Management to get information on Irene and evacuations if it becomes necessary for them to do so. It's great to know they are taking the threat serious whether it's a direct hit or a near miss.

« on: August 21, 2011, 08:34:02 PM »It's way too early for storm alert mode, in my opinion. Basically, all they're saying now is that the entire state of Florida should be prepared for a possible landfall or near-miss during the second half of next week. We don't quite yet know where, we don't know exactly at what strength, but... be prepared.O_O Why are they 4-5 Days early on this? C'mon!
It's a good thing to let people know ahead of time that a tropical cyclone may be coming. But such an advance warning doesn't require sounding alarm bells quite yet. The first two storms this year (Bret and Emily) that were "supposed" to affect Florida just didn't. Irene seems a better bet, but... you never know. It could do what Emily did and fizzle out.
