The first Isaac wasn't considered major enough to merit retiring the name. This is acts a reminder that even "less severe" hurricanes can be very damaging.ml wave wrote:What happened to retiring the names of hurricanes?WaveProf wrote:I'm still paying off an SBA loan for damages caused to my house from the last Hurricane Isaac.

way ahead of both of you.. I bought Lowe's 5 gallon buckets for Irma last year for the specific purpose of scooping tub water and dumping it in the toilet tanks to flush...gerryb323 wrote:The bathtub thing is a good idea even if just to flush toiletsRoller wrote:Scrub your bathtub, and fill it up before the storm hits.Johnny Mac wrote:Wilmington NC is going to get hammered..

You're pretty far inland, though, so it's doubtful you'll get more that TS winds, if that. My wife is in Winston with her mother, and people there are getting nervous, too. But I think y'all are good, that far inland (I mean, like, how worried do Shreveport and Jackson ever get?).
the storm's track looks like Charlotte will only experience mild tropical storm level winds but a sheet ton of rain... so any power outage will hopefully be short lived and a local issue.

while there aren't a lot of male names that begin with I, they shouldn't be back on Isaac this soon.. Igor, Ian, Ibrahim, Israel, Ignatius, Ignatio, Isaiah, Irving, Ira... all available
only Ivan and Ike are retired.

Yeah, who decides that 42 fatalities isn’t enough?

Re: Hurricane stuff -
Meteorologist on the NBC station here in Charlotte had that very possibility out there last night... I don't wish any ill on the folks of Charleston, but that path would pretty much leave CLT unscathed.. and the only scathing we are set to receive with the current path is 7-11 inches of rain in 2.5 days... I could do without thatsr wrote:Watch this path due to High Pressure moving in north of N. Carolina...

Re: Hurricane stuff -
Since this one is now located in the Gulf of Mexico, it is the one (without any name yet) we should be focused on right now. Stay tuned.
But I have two friends who live in Alma, GA near Waycross, who are emergency personnel and, depending on that fickle Florence, could be in harms way if it heads that way, so I am also for them also.
Forewarned is forearmed.

Re: Hurricane stuff -
It is not a thing to be worried about if you live in SE LA. Maybe some rain. I noticed they discontinued further warnings from Isaac 2.0 which is the one to watch (was?).

Bob Breck:
http://bobbreck.blogspot.com/The affect from Florence for us is to build a surface high that will dry us out and block any northward movement of a rotation over the southern Gulf. There are no storms around that system tonight, but NHC is giving it a 70% chance to develop Friday into Saturday over the western Gulf. The only impact to us will be stronger winds, especially off the Louisiana coast. Way out in the Atlantic, Isaac continues to struggle with wind shear and might not survive much longer. For us, there is news that the MJO will move into the unfavorable (sinking air) phase during the next week and that should shut down the tropical activity that has made for an active September. Doesn’t mean the hurricane season is over for us, but October is only 3 weeks away. I have placed a call into the “Fat Lady” to see if she’s getting ready to do her yearly song…”turn out the lights…”

Why do reporters reporting on hurricanes have to stand out in the wind and rain? We know that there’s a lot of rain and high winds in a hurricane. Reporters reporting on a house fire don’t stand in the fire.

Re: Hurricane stuff -
I tuned into the Weather Channel this morning to see some announcer in knee deep water with a batting helmet on. Michael Dukakis and his too big tanker helmet came to mind. Both looked ridiculous.
Having said that, it’s the rain. It always was the rain. The pain is just beginning for the Carolinas.

It's pretty evident that TWC has now fallen prey to the dumbing down of America via reality TV. Their reporters are being JUST. PLAIN. STUPID.

Re: Hurricane stuff -
As you know they sensationalize thier reporting. There are so many cameras out there now that they either catch more sensational things or show soemone walking their dog right next to where Jim Cantore is standing and acting as if the wind is about to pick him up like the wicked witch of the west.PeteRasche wrote:It's pretty evident that TWC has now fallen prey to the dumbing down of America via reality TV.
