2018 Hurricane Season

[conVINCEd 21468]

A few months ago I was in Charleston for a wedding.  Met some of my wife's family who told us that we could use their house on Folly  Beach anytime we wanted to, which is nice, because I really like Charleston.  Now it's going bye bye????  I has sad.

[G650 13849]

It's been really blown out unfortunately until today @Loco.

 

It looks way below Hatteras to me, which help diffuse storm surge too.

 

I love the chairs under the tree lol. The whole letting the boat fill with water thing works very well though.

That vid of the plane flying into the eye was badass.

DO NOT USE THIS MAP 
TO MAKE DECISIONS
SEEK OFFICIAL INFO
 
What if your decision is "stay home, drink beer, and get frisky with the wife?"  What official info should you seek before you make that decision?

You should seek my advice and I'll let you know when I'm done with the wife

I'd inquire about this weekend. They're probably giving it away

Or, if they just stay put and wait a day, it may float over to them.

So it's going to hit the coast and stall?  Sounds familiar.

I’m in the same boat. Was going to go to church Sunday morning with my 95 year old grandfather then fly back via Baltimore, southwest suggested I change my flight...thought long and hard about it, and changed to return early Sunday via Chicago. Didn’t want to get stranded and have my wife solo with the kids an extra day or two. Now it looks like I’d have been fine. Crap.

[Bash Riprock 1695]

are we going to see another blue shed?

I have family in Wilmington, NC and they’re planning on riding it out. I don’t like it at all. Why not just fly out and hang with family for a few days? Why risk it?

never made sense to me. your home gets flooded and youre stuck in the very top floor with little or no supplies...or else your house is spared the flooding and theres minimal water but everyone else gets it and youre stuck basically on an island with little or no supplies. its just a house and going down with it in a fight with mother nature is the definition of insanity.

 

being stuck with no internet, communication, power or AC isnt my definition of fun

How do they know the sailboat knew nothing about the hurricane?  More likely they were repositioning it further up the coast.

Wow, what a wild 24 hours.  Now D.C. is likely to miss this almost entirely, although now it might turn up in Kentucky and back NE over us as it moves up and out over the Maritimes.  That big summer high over Bermuda is pushing Florence more southward and westward.  Well, thank you, Mr. High.

Suddenly my weekend plans look good again (going to Temple-Md. game).  

I'm happy although have sympathy for the Carolinas.  Plus, this thing is going to rain out over Appalachia, and in those mountains floods can come through and sweep everything before it.  Crossing fingers.

I'd say the weather lady may have been dramatizing a bit. But there are certainly some looney cruisers out there. Basically the ageing hippie version of the wakeboard boat driven by a guy with barb wire tattoos and Axe body spray.

[LongestHorn 759]

No doubt.  But if airplane reached him on his sailboat radio, I have to believe same sailboat radio receives around 10 NOAA weather channels including alarms for emergency notifications.

Invest 96L, that popped up today, already has an eye. I assume it is forming too far north to be a threat in the Western hemisphere.  What is the furthest north a hurricane has formed?
