Hurricane Emily

Thats why I live on the back side of the island and on the 2nd floor. And if it gets really bad, I'll just jump in my kayak and ride it out. Its a 2 seater, any takers? :icon_smil

Hmm ... with you in the kayak, too? I'll take my chances

I'm more concerned about the rest of the crap churning in the Atlantic:

Oh that little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy.

It's that damned commie Castro and his dirty commie minions that turn them north. That, and all the reflected sunlight from pale Canadians sunbathing...

That was awesome

Oh that little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy.

And his two brothers? That could be 3 more hurricanes, right there, bro...

Oh that little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy.

The stuff churning out there is just standard tropical waves... nothing special, yet

Read this site: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIATWDAT.shtml?

Awesome info for all atlantic tropical weather developments, from waves to hurricanes.

And I was trying to make a reference to Super Troopers that you apparently didn't pick up on.

I gotta give it to the Navy and their ability to place bases directly in the path of hurricanes

Come on, thats what makes Naval service more fun. Or something like that.

 

[Chubby]

Hurricanes, Navy, water ... it all makes perfect sense.

One of the sim instructors was talking about this today at Meridian. How Pensacola has supposedly spent the 30 of the last 40 years with ungodly near misses from hurricanes, and the last 10 getting schwacked by last-minute direct hits . . .

It just looks so darned cute. Too bad it's packing 120 kt winds. Sheeut.

[nittany03]

If you can call a ball of wind and water the size of Ohio "cute . . ."

 

[DairyCreamer]

Well, personally I liken it to a rapidly spinning disk more than a ball, but then again, I have a sick fascination with things that move in a circular fashion... and the faster the better:

* Turbines
* Props
* Tornados
* Hurricanes
* The vortex of water that happens when you drain your tub
* Etc.

Hooray for weather forecasters. Dairy mentioned UKMET and one of the other big ones forecasts being pretty right on once they are al in sync. Check the picture out here:

NOGAPS should be the Navy's prediction - and is usually pretty right on (according to my sister - phd in this environmental stuff). BUT the good news from this picture is that everyone is predicting it go farther south from Texas than they did yesterday. Promising! But no gaurantees, still .... today I get to sort out what I would evacuate with
