The cone of uncertainty has shifted northward to the Carolinas and Maryland. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at5+shtml/215101.shtml?cone#contents
Good morning all, I feel like I am living the movie "Groundhog day" starring Bill Murray. Every day I wake up and the storm is still sitting there. It's crazy. I lived in south Florida my whole life and never saw a storm just sit in one place for days. Frances was a slow mover, but at least it moved! Anyway... Yesterday we went to the beach. Naturally the cops had it closed, so we did what everyone else was doing. Parked in a bank parking lot and took an access path to the beach. The waves were good, but we've had better. After that we went to the boat ramp. It was high tide and there was supposed to be flooding. The water was high, but again, I've seen it higher. After that we went to a buddy's garage and drank beer. At least the wind and occasional bursts of rain are coming from the NW so we can BBQ and hang out in front of my SE facing garage. I loved watching the national news this morning. The weather forecasters all say a trough is moving down and it "will" interact with the storm. This "will" cause the storm to move north. That's funny because that is NOT what the official forecast from the hurricane center said. Their forecast said the trough "should " move south, and "should " move the storm north. Oh well, a couple pictures from yesterday. A couple pictures of the beach.
As a kid, was there anything better than a puddle? Hey John, are the seagrapes ripe enough to eat yet?
Eat the Seagrapes? I've heard the Indians boiled and ate them, but I've never heard of any rednecks eating them. I just checked the neighbor's tree and the seagrapes look small and immature.
Good morning Steve! I doubt it. Our summer thunder storms have far greater down pours than this wimpy storm. Your burnouts are safe!
I agree Jim, and believe me, those people are in our thoughts and prayers. They have been pounded for days. Very sad.
In the southeast we are currently getting hit by a swarm of tornados spawned by Dorian. The Weather Channel broadcasters in Wilmington had to take cover. One made a 10 mile track. See this Tornado coverage live on Direct TV Channel 361-2 which is being specially broadcasted.
3 tornados around North Myrtle Beach: https://www.wyff4.com/article/video...h-in-a-rain-band-of-hurricane-dorian/28923919
Dorian is currently a CAT 3 with max sustained winds at 115 mph and max gusts to 140 mph. N. C. appears to be the only US state upon which Dorian may make a landfall. A waterspout just came ashore and badly damaged a mobile home park at Emerald Isle , N. C. https://www.google.com/amp/s/myfox8...r-possible-tornado-amid-hurricane-dorian/amp/
