The Nasty Weather Thread

[El Kabong]

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.

These damn things strengthen from one bulletin to the next. 130 mph at the 16:00 GMT bulletin, and now 140 mph at the 21:00 GMT bulletin. Warm water and favorable atmospheric conditions are like jet fuel for these monsters. Well.... stay safe, Lyle. These track predictions have come a long way in the last couple of decades, but it's still far enough away it could veer either way. North would be best... that way it avoids all land mass altogether. Good that you're far inland though. Once they smack into the U.S. coastline, they weaken just as fast or faster than they strengthened.

Lyle my wife and I were just at Wilmington for 4 days during the last few days in June. There's a great seafood restaurant there called King Neptune those were the greatest bacon-wrapped scallops and crab cakes I ever had in my life. We bought a bag of wild North Carolina Shrimp which we just cooked last night and finish it up and I would say it's the best shrimp we ever had

I love the fact that Brock thinks Lyle would bother with a greenhouse, indoor growing tents have been around for decades, why grow outdoor when you can control everything? Even for ya tomatoes.
