All together now: HARD RIGHT TURN! HARD RIGHT TURN! Please?

 

Re: Running Hurricane Hanna thread

We'll be less than a week shy of the seventh anniversary of 9/11 this weekend.

A little freaky, if Hanna ends up wrecking havoc here over the weekend.

 

Re: Running Hurricane Hanna thread

You get away with it this weekend. She's making a beeline from east Virginia to the Maine coast in 24 hours this weekend.

 

Re: Running Hurricane Hanna thread

Here's what I don't understand: In one spot, the Weather Channel's site says Hanna could make landfall near the NC-SC border on Friday or Saturday. (This was yesterday, which means it may have changed by now.) Anyway, I checked the forecast for places like Wilmington, N.C., Myrtle Beach, S.C., etc. None of them listed anything more than a 40-percent chance of rain for any point in the weekend.
How can this be?

 

Re: Running Hurricane Hanna thread

Weather Underground lists Wilmington with a 70 percent rain chance tomorrow and Saturday and gives Hilton Head a 70 percent chance tomorrow and 30 on Saturday. Same site gives Newport News, Va., a 60 percent chance of rain Friday, 70 percent Saturday and 30 percent Sunday. Richmond gets a 50 percent chance tomorrow, 70 percent Saturday and 20 percent Sunday.

Different forecasters interpret the same data differently.

Pathetic... all these networks have people on the beach for a tropical storm.

 

Re: Running Hurricane Hanna thread

Strong tropical storms can still be a pain in the ass (Gaston and, after its landfall, Isabel come to mind). But Cantore needs to skip this storm and spend some time weatherproofing himself in preparation for his trip to Key Largo or Homestead.

Danger Jim wouldn't miss a chance to mug in front of a camera in anything close to a major wind gust.

He's got a rep to uphold.

Looks like Ireland's under the gun sometime next week. I love when these things last long enough to take a European holiday.

 

Here in western NJ we got a little bit of rain last night and nothing this morning. In the last half hour the rain has started to arrive again (very steady, but doesn't look like its coming down hard, yet). Not much in the way of wind gusts either right now. The heaviest rain and wind is supposed to arrive in a few hours - right when I'm walking out the door for work.

 

Will the system help replenish the icecap?
