2021 Hurricane & Cyclone Thread

[Amos Moses 795]

David Paul on channel 11 is who I watch…he’s a Longhorn.

This right here. Mixed in with space city weather.

18z GFS is even further east.

Please stay away from Port A (Labor Day trip)

Shifting further east, but still a lot of uncertainty until it forms in the Gulf

I gotcha man.  Just everybody is so damn touchy with any thread getting slightly political.  We can't talk about Afghanistan, Delta Variant, school, the football stadium, anything without somebody declaring "AHHH Cloak Room!"  Mea culpa.  
You're right about the inevitable veering of the thread, but for now I want to see how we can help. Lots of Cajuns on this board.  Maybe they know something concrete we can do.  But then yes, right after that we can cloak room this shit up and bitch again!  
I've never liked August.  Now I know why.

It’s the fucking daily Texan thread about hurricanes.  I know you can’t help yourself but no it’s not the place to talk about any of that.

[justhookit 4191]

@NorthLoopCalled  it. Twice. This thing is going to Tampa. I hope. I really don’t want to be looking for a place to stay early next week. No offense to Tampa or Clearwater which might have been the worst place I’ve ever spent 3 or 4 days.

[crimsonlonghorn 2306]

All of the models this morning are pointing at Louisiana. The center is going to form further north than everyone original thought and it's going to take a straight line across the western tip of Cuba straight to New Orleans. Supposedly. 

[phdhorn 6224]

Good chance wherever this goes, that it'll ramp up quickly near the shore (typically) and might be a major hurricane (3 or more?).

I don't like the looks of this one.

Ugh. Living in Houston there’s obviously some degree of wanting it to go somewhere else but Louisiana does not need a major hurricane.

[Storm the Field 5302]

Yikes, that's a bullseye right on Vermillion Bay and Lafayette. Not good for Baton Rouge.

Lake Charles done pissed off the hurricane gods, that's for sure.

Yeah. You just drive through the damn place and can tell without leaving the freeway it's basically just never going to recover. Abandoned homes and construction projects abound. Damn near looks like a post apocalyptic landscape.

Apparently the high pressure system from the west is winning over the eastern high pressure system and pushing this thing toward Louisiana.  I'm planning on heading to New Orleans/Morgan City next week for work. 

[Jshep34 2321]

Wonder if itll destroy the I10 bridge in Louisiana. Last year a casino barge was parked under it. They dont need a another major hurricane

Unless your job is "debris removal" I might not bet on it.

[utee94 15863]

I had a trip to New Orleans planned for Labor Day weekend but canceled it a couple of weeks ago for unrelated reasons.  Guess it was Fate...

[TXSooner518 2438]

I'm in NOLA Wed-Sun for a trip around the OU-Tulane game. Uhhhhhhhhhh.....

I forgot OU was going to New Orleans. That would explain why the storm is being sucked in that direction. I hope forecasters are taking that into account when they plot those paths.

My unpopular opinion: The Louisiana coast should not be rebuilt and/or populated going forward, if possible.  With a warmer planet and oceans, we're going to keep seeing bad things there annually.

Noticed some dry rot in my straps, my reinforcements just came in @Hate:

Supposed to be in NOLA next Friday-Monday for a friends bday. Soooo…..?

I'd request indoor seating.

Not unpopular with me. It’s the economically and ecologically sound move.

How's that supposed to hold down a whole double-wide??

It's been a lot lighter since they repossessed his TV.

Y'all laugh. Next spring I plan to be the first man to climb Mt. Everest using corkscrew trampoline anchors.

Cloak Room is where someone blames someone else for the warmer temps, and then a debate ensues about how it is/isn't influenced by people.

The *fact* that land and ocean temps are higher than they have been in my lifetime is not fake news or unfounded.

not sure if that was supposed to be a /s or not.

[Guest Lobo]

Dude, you're just an astro-turfing troll sent by Big Thermometer 

We're all educated men of science on here.  The oceans, if anything, are getting cooler.  I grew up in Chicago.  When the sidewalk would ice over, parents sent me out to spread salt over it so we could walk on it without slipping.  And it worked.  The icebergs and polar ice caps are melting because of the salt in the ocean water, not because of rising temps.

So you are responsible for it...  Well, your parents are.... and Chicago....

[Guest Lobo]

Not true.  Also---you ever stop to notice, smart guy, that the hurricanes in the Caribbean/Gulf always rotate the same way?  Is that more of your man-made fiction?  It's because of the rotation of the Earth!  You know who's responsible for that?  Not man, it's God!  So all of your observations are explained by salt and God.  Not man-made climate change.

Counterpoint: New Orleans is awesome and your opinion is wrong.

 In 2023 we better go and fuck up the SEC like this storm is about to. 

[Gatorubet 30316]

I think as this storm forms that will become the major story. It should be being discussed. 

FML. I’m in Denver drinking before heading into the woods. I guess my generator won’t walk out the garage and set itself up to the transfer switch to save my freezer.

OTOH, I won’t be driving down Canal Street in a month saying,

[NorthLoop 14248]

I'm headed to NOLA...... in November. When the weather is nice. Unlike you dumb bastards.

[Zeus 6127]

Here she comes!

Years where we have a big freeze we seem to have a good storm too. Don't think this will be it but it's probably coming. Buckle down!

Raining hard in Houston, but nothing out of the ordinary. 

I won't worry until I have to backwash my pool.

No.

There are remnants of a low that was actually part of Henri in the Atlantic off Georgia the tailed off and swept across Florida and has come West through the Gulf. It's not tropical in nature at all.

We are way, way out of Ida's influence at this point and judging by the way it's going probably won't see a wiff of Ida in texas.
