No cleanup FTW!!!!

My roommate has the "let the f***er disappear in the Bermuda Triangle" theory...I think by Friday or Saturday we'll be able to tell whether to have the coast board up again...

P.S.-If you check the Tropical Weather Outlook link above the Florence info on nhc.noaa.gov, it looks like we may have another storm forming in 2-3 days...

90 degree turn, wow

Looks like things are gonna be fine with this one...As long as the NHC knows what's going on...

9/7/2006 4:43:56 PM

haha bermuda is gonna get pwnt

9/7/2006 5:04:28 PM

From the 5 o'clock bulletin:

Quote :

"FLORENCE IS AN UNUSUALLY LARGE TROPICAL CYCLONE WITH TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTENDING OUTWARD UP TO 405 MILES...650 KM FROM THE CENTER. A SHIP LOCATED ABOUT 360 MILES NORTHEAST OF THE CENTER RECENTLY REPORTED SUSTAINED WINDS OF 38 MPH. "

Damn...

9/7/2006 5:51:52 PM

But still not a hurricane

9/7/2006 6:06:59 PM

Not for another day or two, but if one that's already this big turns into one, I get worried...

9/7/2006 7:02:44 PM

it should be a cane at the latest 5am Sat, it is finally kinda looking halfway descent. The question is will it be a major Fish cane or not. This has been a boring season after the last 2, i guess Mother Nature throws one in every once in awhile.

Heres the nws case study on ernesto for anyone who cares.

Florence should be heading in a more northerly fashion soon right?

9/8/2006 1:54:01 PM

nvm, my above-posted track updated itself, so see above...

9/9/2006 12:54:56 AM

Yeah, looks like we may be getting some rain off that longer band...she's a healthy lady of a storm.

9/10/2006 4:37:28 PM

9/10/2006 5:16:14 PM

The waves that Florence is kicking up made bodyboarding a lot more interesting today out at Atlantic Beach! So many surfers out there...

Sucks to be Bermuda this week...I hope for their sake that this new one turns away...The first reports on a storm are almost always wrong anywayz...

9/10/2006 11:16:13 PM

worst season ever.

9/11/2006 5:09:36 PM

I guess they're having global warming in Bermuda this year.

9/11/2006 5:48:25 PM

I just wanna know what they did to get slammed like this so I don't do it...damn...

9/11/2006 9:53:42 PM

It's more teaser for NC. Last year they went to the gulf and these last two pansied out. It just sucks that it's been 10 years now and we haven't had anything like Fran. (Yes there was Floyd but I was refereing primarily to Raleigh). I have faith remaining that there is another Hazel/Hugo out there with our name on it. Maybe not this season but hopefully soon.

9/12/2006 12:21:15 AM

we had isabelle(wind)
and dennis(rain)
and alberto(rain)
but none as intense as fran. i think fran was still a cat 1 when it got to raleigh AND it dumped alot of rain.


but the main reason fran was so bad here was because we had LOTS AND LOTS of rain the week before it came and we hadnt had any big winds in a long time. so there were many weak old trees around with the ground very very wet the roots were loose and when fran cam it just uprooted all those trees. now we have mostly strong trees so even a storm as bad as fran wouldnt be as bad as fran.

with the steering currents aroudn the bermuda high it is pretty much the rule for them to take the "C" shaped turn as they approach the east coast and accelerate ne afterwards. fran was one of the few exceptions to that cuz it came in almost west-east.

i want to see ny get one. ittle be fun watching millions of people evacuate.

9/12/2006 2:28:31 AM

also many of the buildings arent built for hurricanes like in houston no and miami. a 120mph wind would tip the lincoln building over.

9/12/2006 2:30:43 AM

I mean yes there are weak trees, but that much rain and then alot of wind. Many strong trees just weren't any match b/c the groud was so soft.

9/12/2006 2:34:40 AM

SAME STUPID ASS SHIT

9/12/2006 6:21:20 PM

Da-duh...Da-duh...

9/12/2006 7:55:19 PM

9/13/2006 8:23:15 PM

Look at that crooked-ass path...looks like Helene is doing her best to stay south so she can visit somebody on the East Coast.

^Damn what a beautiful storm Gordon is...

9/14/2006 12:59:09 AM

the storm doesnt have an eye in the middle of it. the eye has a ring of storm around it.

you are a sick person.

one of my friends died in fran.

hurricanes are more than just your fucking entertainment

9/14/2006 12:44:17 PM

your friend died playing in a river AFTER fran




lets not blame a hurricane for bad decisions

[Edited on September 14, 2006 at 1:18 PM. Reason : s]

9/14/2006 1:17:47 PM

yeah... my house made a horrible decision to be located where it was


it had never ever flooded until fran

then we had 4 feet


WOOHOO I WANT ANOTHER HURRICANE

9/14/2006 1:22:48 PM

Guys, you know, Smath is totally right. I got into my weather machine and brought Fran to us just to kill his friend. My bad?

You're right. I am pretty sure it did it's job of transporting heat. But at the same time it was a most exhilerating experience.

9/14/2006 6:27:07 PM

looks like Lane actually formed off the coast of mexico, how often does that happen?

9/16/2006 6:17:24 PM

pretty often

9/16/2006 6:19:13 PM

^^lol a noob

9/16/2006 6:41:32 PM

eh, yeah
newbie to hurricane paths. I usually only pay attention to thoes that are on course to NC
went to weather.com to check the weather for tomarrow (decent week ahead too) and ofcourse Lane was front page
checked the path and it parralells mexico's coast nicely, thought it was odd, guess not

9/16/2006 7:03:33 PM

a newbie because you didnt know there was an east pacific season seperate from the atlantic

9/16/2006 7:16:12 PM

^ yep. that too
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane#Major_basins
learned somthin new today. it makes sence ofcourse, just never occured to me to look it up.

9/16/2006 7:37:29 PM

Helen

9/16/2006 10:27:30 PM

oh snap almost a 50/50 chance of it coming our way.

9/16/2006 10:37:44 PM

and 5/8 of the recently updated ones have it coming our way

9/16/2006 10:42:43 PM

hot ass kim deaner says NO

9/16/2006 11:50:12 PM

The 3-day could be very ominous, and the shape of the 5-day says "We don't have a f-in' clue which way it's headed."
