The Nasty Weather Thread

Inshallah I give a quick and nearly imperceptible nod of the head.

At five foot six they think I am bowing

Looks like Florence is headed right my way.

Damn Lyle.... I certainly hope it swerves north and avoids land altogether.... but right now doesn't look like it intends to do that. Hope it misses you bro.

Other than many family birthdays in September, I don't care much for the month. Damn hurricane factory off West Africa is churning out these damn things as usual. Isaac is coming in our general direction, but hopefully will pass to the south and it looks like it will have weakened to tropical storm strength as well.

Can't wait for October.

Many thanks Tito, but I welcome the occasional storm I cannot tell you how many Yankees have been scared away from my state because of wind and rain (it hasn't been near enough though)

Now, to fully prepare.....water, batteries, radio, lantern, more booze than you can shake a stick at....oh damn, I need to call and get some green before shit gets serious.

Predictions are it'll be a 4 ...LIKE YOUR MOM





Hahaha I kid. Yeah but it's supposed to be a category 4 and headed right at Wilmington....got to tell you if it's higher than a 2 that's when I start to pay attention. Granted deaths and destruction can occur even in gales much less actual hurricanes, but those typically happen to the ill prepared or those folks who are being stupid like surfing right before the storm comes in, those rip tides ain't nothing to mess with on a normal day.

I'll be fine, I'm far enough inland to really only be worried about tornadoes that spin off this sucker and flooding....those on the coast are the ones who are going to get it.


The last category 4 hurricane that hit North Carolina was Hazel in 1954 and that was a fuckin doozy so my parents tell me.



I won't be suffering like Tito did, but shit I'm hours away from the beach anyway I just don't want tornadoes and I don't want flooding.

I saw a report earlier today that had estimates for as much as two feet of rain, inland, as a result of this storm.
