The real thrill will be seeing how I make it on the news this year...

Hopefully not dead.

5/1/2012 10:25:32 PM

5/1/2012 10:26:53 PM

Especially after Boosie gets fried.

5/1/2012 11:40:06 PM

June 1st is a stupid date for the start of the season, shit doesn't pop off for at least another month or two

5/1/2012 11:43:33 PM

5/2/2012 2:03:50 AM

Hurricane Gordon Freeman is coming.

5/2/2012 2:24:09 AM

Got a little something out there...probably will amount to nothing...but it's there

5/13/2012 9:45:30 PM

if "Debby" comes through, D. Yow will go outside and be all like "YOU SHALL NOT PASSSSSS..." and it will just go back down to Myrtle or somethin

5/13/2012 9:46:36 PM

We got something that has a 70% chance of forming into a storm here soon.

5/25/2012 8:53:53 AM

again...this happens every year...I create a chit chat hurricane season thread that is more sucessful than the lounge hurricane season thread...

Please don't get upset with me...it's just how the world turns

5/25/2012 9:20:48 AM

it doesn't matter to me who makes the thread, but it really should be in the lounge.

5/25/2012 9:26:28 AM

Well I enjoy the chit chat thread...makes it more fun...


I have this conversation with someone every year that I start the thread...but then as soon as a hurricane pops up people are in this thread cause sawahash is in the middle of the hurricane giving up to the minute updates...until the power goes out

Anyway...looks like the possible paths of the storm at this point could affect the Raleigh area more than my area.



also...this is always fun to just watch

5/25/2012 9:36:12 AM

we now officially have a tropical storm

BERYL

5/26/2012 12:55:22 AM

I hope it doesn't affect my ability to go to Ocean City next weekend.

5/26/2012 9:07:07 AM

Gonna be getting a lot of wind and rain Wednesday night about the time I'm getting off work.

5/29/2012 8:15:31 AM

5/29/2012 8:47:35 AM

5/29/2012 8:49:18 AM

5/29/2012 8:50:48 AM

5/29/2012 9:39:49 AM

anyone else expect hockey

5/29/2012 10:32:03 AM

beap beap

5/29/2012 11:11:41 AM

5/29/2012 11:11:46 AM

Are y'all getting any rain in Raleigh right now?

5/30/2012 8:32:00 AM

drizzle

5/30/2012 8:35:35 AM

it is pouring in New Bern..

5/30/2012 8:40:13 AM

pouring here too. Nothing gets closed down for tropical storms, so it's gonna be a nice little pain in the ass going to and from work and lunch and taking smoke breaks. At least it's only going to be one day though.

5/30/2012 8:41:18 AM

^^second that, it is definitely pouring in new bern. Started around 7:30, and we have 1.40" recorded right now.

5/30/2012 10:55:38 AM

stopped poring in fayetteville about an hour ago

5/30/2012 10:56:50 AM

Goldsboro getting pounded, probably close to 2 inches. Expecting 6+

5/30/2012 10:57:28 AM

Got a ton of rain in Charleston. Won't have to water the yard/garden for a couple days now.

5/30/2012 11:01:01 AM

This isn't going to end well. The ground around the east is already saturated from the past weeks rain, and this 6+ rain isn't going to help matters. All runoff at this point.

5/30/2012 11:03:07 AM

Its been surprisingly dry in Morehead city, so much moisture inland.

5/30/2012 1:11:30 PM

The pacific is having all the fun right now. June is such a boring month.

6/13/2012 8:46:09 PM

Tropical Storm Chris!!!

Aint gonna do shit!

6/19/2012 9:46:39 PM

Oh c'mon, don't waste a great name on such a weakass tropical storm!

6/19/2012 9:56:45 PM

check yeah

6/19/2012 9:57:39 PM

So this is the typical origin of hurricanes and tracks they take in June...Florida is more likely to be hit by hurricanes in June...



July


August


September


October


November

6/20/2012 10:29:12 AM

Squalls out on the gulf stream

Big storms comin' soon

6/20/2012 11:04:54 PM

invest96 is in the gulf

could be debbie later tonight or tomorrow...

right now could either go west toward texas or east toward florida... the trough swinging over central US could pick it up and carry it toward florida or the ridge could move it toward texas

early models are very spread out....though most are leaning toward a texas direction
