Looks like I will be seeing some state active duty monies soon.. fun fun

I'll be in LOVELY cocoa beach tomorrow until the 18th or so. On a jump trip.

I mean, Atlantic coast, what could go wrong??

 

[Grunt]

I hope the worst of it curves back out to sea! I don't wish hurricanes on anyone in the US.

I hope it does spin off back to sea....

HURRICANE IRMA

We are gearing up for this now, even if it doesn't come up the Atlantic coast I'd rather have a shit ton of water and canned goods just in case.

 

[SpongeBob*24]

Agree....I ran out of water and food during Mathew....this will not happen again.....

Yep. Winter is coming....

 

[Gunz]

I don't need more rain. I'm gonna get it unless this bitch curves N.

Models keep pushing this storm further west. Which is good for I live, not so good for the Gulf States. Which really stinks, I have a lot of family in Biloxi, Gulfport, Long Beach, and Waveland Mississippi. And I know a lot of you guys are down that way too.

 

[BloodStripe]

Read today that there's a 45% chance it stays on the coast, 45% chance it heads further east out to sea, or 10% it hits the gulf coast states.

Our company trip of the year heads to St Thomas tomorrow. I opted not to go on the trip this year based on the season they chose.

All this hurricanin' and namin' tells me wymmin are to be feared....

Tex/Mex border,
That said we really do not need another TX/LA strike.

 

[AWP]

I hope it does spin off back to sea....

HURRICANE IRMA

This model really concerns me. Storms tend to curve north, so that one passing so close to the keys means it could cut up and hit FL. Bonus points: I live in Orlando and start vacation next Tuesday.

Our cyclones are mostly named after women because they howl and scream when they come, and they take the house when they leave.

Wishing all those in the affected area all the best. Mother Nature has been a real bitch there this past week.

While I have no worries of hurricanes here in Minnesota, I do have to tangle with the occasional multi-day thunderstorm related power outage or winter blizzard.

I have always had an acceptable stock of water/food <stored> in the house, but today I added to the water supply just in case. Tomorrow I am going to add a few extra gallons of fuel for the generator.

Seeing how some act in times of trouble, it just makes sense.

Most of the models agreeing is a bad sign for you guys.
Strong Hi is keeping it south for now, but will also allow it to crawl up your coast.
Strong (very early) cold front going through TX in the next 24-48 hrs would also tend to move things away from us, we have to see if the front hangs around after passing or weakens.

No you don't, you start SAD... so get your kayaks out, you've trained for this. :wall::wall::wall:
