That was just changed, but accuweather, nhc, and twc said this is a typical jog and they suspect it to jog back and forth subtly. They don't make straight lines.

Irene is tipsy. She is taunting us.

IRENE HAS NOWHERE TO GO BUT NORTHWARD WITH A GRADUAL TURN TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST AFTER THE CENTER CROSSES OR PASSES NEAR THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST. THE TRACK GUIDANCE HAS BEEN VERY CONSISTENT AND CONTINUES TO BE TIGHTLY CLUSTERED...GIVING NO REASON TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE OFFICIAL FORECAST."

Exactly.

They just said she is doing what they expected. This is going to be unreal up north.

A bit of a letdown for the Raleigh area. If rain's gonna ruin most of my weekend it'd be nice to see a show of sorts.

Ah, where at? I'm from near Flanners Beach.

^^Maybe you'll get lucky and a roving pack of lumberjacks will come by and saw a tree down such that it lands on your house.

^^hey now...it's a rental

8/26/2011 9:41:32 AM

I had to call two tenants that are in an area prone to get high winds of tropical and possibly hurricane strength to spend time taking pictures of the property today just in case I have to make claims next week. Sucks.

8/26/2011 9:43:08 AM

^^^ Pamlico or Craven County?

If anyone cares...loop should be a little smoother, and imagery resizes correctly when moving between short and long range.

8/26/2011 9:45:24 AM

I've got an 8:30 am flight home tomorrow to Newport News. Any bets on the odds I'll make it there by Monday?

8/26/2011 9:48:34 AM

^ Neat.

8/26/2011 9:48:56 AM

^^^^pamlico

8/26/2011 9:53:06 AM

^^^where are you coming from?

8/26/2011 10:00:26 AM

anyone have a tracker that shows it's growth from day one to now?

Coming down pretty hard in Charleston right now. I'm the only person in my office complex. Probably should have stayed home...

8/26/2011 10:59:46 AM

^^i was looking for like a radar view of the entire time lapse (just wanted to see this hurricane develop and grow)

8/26/2011 11:04:50 AM

watch out for them road sharks

8/26/2011 11:40:32 AM

^^Lol aint that some shit.

8/26/2011 11:43:45 AM

I seriously would piss my pants if a shark swam past me in my car

8/26/2011 11:53:35 AM

I was told by someone yesterday that no insurance company is binding any new quotes until next week due to the storm. Makes sense to me.

8/26/2011 1:15:57 PM

Yeah, I have a friend who wants her policy to start end of September (renters), and was told she had to wait too.

8/26/2011 1:16:38 PM

How does that make sense? So they don't have to pay out for people that jump in the system right before expected damages?

8/26/2011 1:21:53 PM

Yes.

8/26/2011 1:29:32 PM

i was always under the assumption that thats how insurance companies worked.

its not a surprise nor do i feel it is wrong.

8/26/2011 1:34:23 PM

Got the hurricane shutters up and doors sandbagged. Hunkered down beachfront in Kure Beach. Hoping for the best......

8/26/2011 1:47:43 PM

Obvious jog back to the west on visible satellite. Warmer waters ahead as well. We'll see what happens.

8/26/2011 1:56:34 PM

^^take pics


Com'n people, we can't let that retarded thread in CC surpass this one.

8/26/2011 2:59:17 PM

Neuse River, Oriental

8/26/2011 3:00:52 PM

more webcams ppl

8/26/2011 3:13:35 PM

I don't know what this means but Mike Bettes from TWC said it hasn't turned as quickly as they thought and that RDU should expect cat 1 winds and heavy rain.

8/26/2011 3:25:25 PM

I'll go ahead and post ones that are of interest to me (near my house). You will need to reload the page for these to update. The pictures update every 10 minutes during the day (not operation at night )

These will be interesting if the storm stays east and blows/pushes water up the river. Wind tides are what cause major flooding here.

General location of these cams: Around the Oriental Harbor, Oriental, NC (ignore Google's markers... those are meaningless here)

it's weird to look at the radar loop and see storms moving east to west

Just starting to see the first bits of rain in kitty hawk now.

8/26/2011 3:57:20 PM

it's raining hard as shit in East Raleigh

8/26/2011 4:17:16 PM

yeah we just got a 10 minute DOWNPOUR in fuquay. the wind is already pretty intense. this storm has a huge wind field evidentally

8/26/2011 4:20:45 PM

not good... i can hear my roof flexing and adjusting already. I just had to replace a bunch of damn shingles from the tornado

8/26/2011 4:23:25 PM

8/26/2011 4:24:55 PM

its wobbling but certainly tracking more west than I expected.
