First chance of the year. Probably way too early too have something too organized, but I figured I'd get this thread started.

5/22/2010 9:51:50 AM

It's gonna rain oil ITT

5/22/2010 10:12:58 AM

Hopefully the West Pacific storms will be at a minimum. North Atlantic storms I don't mind so much.

5/22/2010 10:49:27 AM

how will oil rain in a thread? I NEED ANSWERS!

5/22/2010 2:38:40 PM

I'll be on the beach in Corolla all summer, hope it isn't too bad

5/22/2010 2:46:40 PM

Will we have Hurricane Alex by the end of today??



Looks like it won't really impact the US. Mainly Mexico.

Nothing too big, but it could provide some issues with pushing the oil slick back towards the coast quicker..

7/23/2010 9:06:51 AM

Who else remembers getting out of school early in Wake County back in 1998 for then Hurricane Bonnie?

7/23/2010 9:13:34 AM

^^more than likely it'll help the situation, quickening the natural dispersal of the oil in the water.

I love how this TS is getting a lot of attention already...seems the news organizations are always hungry for this shit.

7/23/2010 9:27:02 AM

^If it wasn't going right over the spill site I don't think anyone would really care.

7/23/2010 1:41:16 PM

Hello Colin

could be our first chance at a storm.

8/3/2010 9:22:16 AM

8/24/2010 8:44:12 AM

Incoming Earl!

8/30/2010 8:58:03 AM

So we can see him.

8/30/2010 9:00:35 AM

Earl is Category Four, expected to hit Five.

"North Carolina's Cape Hatteras is still in the bulls-eye for the closest landmass to Earl's trajectory."

So my hometown.

Fuck it.

8/30/2010 11:56:04 PM

and the are inching the track closer and closer to NC with every update

8/31/2010 12:08:41 AM

way to double post. lol

8/31/2010 12:10:14 AM

excuse me?

8/31/2010 12:10:40 AM

get things ready, I have a feeling Earl is gonna hit.

showing it brushing now...the more it stays on this same track and doesnt hang a more northerly path the more chance we get a hit.

8/31/2010 1:01:44 AM

A great website to track all the storms at once:

8/31/2010 8:04:52 AM

I often wonder if it makes me a bad person to love to follow these and hope they make landfall in the US. I have family in New Bern but other than that nothing in the real danger zone of these things and I know they really hurt people on the coast, but I like them

8/31/2010 8:59:07 AM

We're starting storm prep this morning for our vacant rental homes

8/31/2010 9:06:28 AM

I expected to get better analysis in this thread instead of Chit Chat. Where are you at, wannabe stormchasers and meteorologists? I want some details!

8/31/2010 10:10:27 AM

i'll be at our beach house in emerald isle this weekend. hopefully.

8/31/2010 10:13:21 AM

Took this at mp 21 in south nags head while prepping this house. Beautiful sets, looking waist/chest all morning

Quote :

"From Hyde County Emergency Management - 1 pm, Tuesday, August 31, 2010 Swell from Earl will begin to arrive late today with seas building to small craft advisory levels by Wednesday. The large swell will enhance the rip current threat starting today. Based on the current track, seas up to 20 feet are probable in the coastal waters. Even if the track remains offshore, breakers on the Outer Banks could be up to 15 ft. Overwash issues are likely on the Outer Banks ocean side Thursday night after midnight, peaking between midnight and 6 AM Friday. High tide will be around 230 AM. "

Not at all. After experiencing Hugo in Charlotte in 1989 I've been a huge advocate from more tropical storm/hurricane experience. I've even been entrenched in longstanding tussles with folks who can't comprehend why someone would wish for a hurricane to make landfall. They always say something stupid like "When you have a house and a car you'll understand." But if anything going 14 years without a decent storm only makes me want it more. Material things can be replaced. The awing thrill of experiencing one of the most powerful, and very necessary, forces on Earth is priceless.

8/31/2010 2:46:48 PM

When you have a house and a car you'll understand.

Or loved ones.

8/31/2010 3:03:27 PM

While I dont advocate or hope that a storm hits land, I have no control over it. So if it is going to happen Im gonna make the best of it and enjoy it for what it is .

8/31/2010 3:06:11 PM

^^ Right one cue since 2001.

8/31/2010 3:10:06 PM

supposed to go to the OBX on monday through wednesday...

8/31/2010 3:16:52 PM

i would very much appreciate it if storms could avoid north carolina for just september 7th through the 14th

just long enough for me to have a problem-free wedding and make my way over to europe...if i'm delayed coming back, meh

8/31/2010 3:21:48 PM

I'm still trying to go out to Nag's Head on Sunday - Monday.


Hmmmm

8/31/2010 4:01:54 PM

^I moved back 2 years ago (as of last week).

lol

8/31/2010 4:06:59 PM

Oh my.

8/31/2010 4:09:14 PM

Pat, hit me up if you do come out.

Rumor is the weather channel folks said that their models are having trouble telling when the storm will swing north. As of now its due around Cape Hatteras early Friday morning as a cat3.

They're meeting to determine if they're going to evacuate Ocracoke too.

8/31/2010 4:23:00 PM

supposed to go to a wedding in wilmington, de this weekend. sounds like it will be extremely nice orrrrrrrrrrrr a fail, atleast for the rehearsal dinner

8/31/2010 4:26:33 PM

Perg, I don't have your number. PM it to me or msg me on FB. As of right now I don't have anywhere to stay...you got room to spare?

8/31/2010 4:28:00 PM

we could use the rain...just saying.

8/31/2010 4:40:14 PM

Got to sassy I was getting nervous here in wilm. But think storm will head straight.even had nightmare last night

8/31/2010 4:51:26 PM

Hurricanes should always strike on weekends during the Fall as God's punishment to the bride and groom for making the rest of us miss football.

8/31/2010 4:51:47 PM

^I'm tempted to make that my Facebook status.

Well done sir!
