[jpsb]

thanks for the heads up, I’d figure this season was over for the GOM, lol, so much for “thinking”.

[Ingtar]

Might bring some rain to me here in New Orleans eventually. Thank you for the ping. ( Yes, Obama’s economy made me move )

[LadyPilgrim]

Thanks NN!

You’re on the ball with this sneaky one! :-)

[NautiNurse]

I know what you mean, we wrote off the storm season too.

Hate to post and run--have a date at the shootin' range.

[jslade]

Was starting to feel that you were bored. LOL

[SlowBoat407]

Straggler.

[brytlea]

Hope your date is not the target! ;)
Thanks for the heads up.

[PeteB570]

Ha, where did that bogger come from?

Looks to be at most a little rain for the Carolinas.

[NautiNurse]

Hope your date is not the target!

LOL! About once a month, we have a little family gathering at the range on a Wednesday--when ladies shoot for free--followed by a leisurely lunch. It's a little tradition we enjoy, and we get to see who got new toys and accessories for their arsenals.

Just call us the Cartridge Family.

[brytlea]

LOL sounds like my kind of family!

My new favorite site for tracking tropical systems:

STORMPULSE

In the upper right corner of the map you can toggle on/off the forecast model tracks, satellite and radar. As of right now, no consensus after it crosses the Yucatan. GFS long range model brings it into the GOM and lets it die there, with one little lead impulse coming through NOLA early next week with some rain. I think its life cycle will depend on how/where it deals with the Yucatan. If it can sneak between there and Cuba and maintain contact with the warm waters, could get interesting.

[NautiNurse]

Tropical Storm Ida winds 65 mph, additional strengthening
expected. Moving WNW 6 mph. Located about 60 miles E
of Nicaragua.

I wonder if it’s going to bounce off the Yucatan Peninsular and out into the Carribbean.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I though you agreed to end this nonsense for the year. Looks like next week is going to be interesting.

[NautiNurse]

Hey you! LTNS...and all that jazz.

NHC is still forecasting a real chance Ida will survive landfall in Central America and enter the GOM. However, they acknowledge a real possibility the storm may tear apart in the CA mountains. Hurry up and wait.

[NautiNurse]

Hoping Ida loses her identity in the mountains. Expect nasty mudslides.

[Viking2002]

Here we go.......tracking early on right towards my roof. IT'S SHOWTIME!

[prairiebreeze]

thank you for the ping, NN

TANKS,NN...

[SouthTexas]

I’m in Dallas, great time for a storm to come in! :)

[GOPJ]

I’m looking forward to Nov 30th - the end to hurricane season.

[NautiNurse]

Rainfall accumulations of 15 to 20 inches are expected over eastern Nicaragua and eastern Honduras with maximum amounts of 25 inches possible. These rains could produce life-threatening flash flood and mud slides.

[Vinnie]

Looks to be at most a little rain for the Carolinas.

Bring it on.

Raleigh is at -9" for the year right now.

I'm listening to a meteorologist as I type.
He said Raleigh gets 25% of its rainfall from tropical systems.

We could use a few inches.

[SouthTexas]

We could really use that much in south Texas, just to get to the break even point!

[Islander7]

Thanks for the ping. Probably won’t be much to it, thankfully. I’ve had all the storm excitement I can handle in one life.

[Elle Bee]

LOL

See .... I'd spoken too soon

.

[TypeZoNegative]

This fluke storm probably is going to be the last storm for the season. If it isn’t, I’ll eat a giant steak the size of a baseball glove and take pictures of it. :)

[SaraJohnson]

Ida ain’t coming to Texas!

Roger Dat!!!,,,

Still got high water here...

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

In 2005 they were still coming after Christmas (I think that was Beta).

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Thanks for the ping NN.

[SouthTexas]

We still need more water! :(

[NautiNurse]

Ha! I thought about you when this storm popped up.

[Right_Handed_Writer]

Time to change the title again! She is now a CAT 1 hurricane. At least for the next few hours.

[aberaussie]

They just said on the weather channel that the main threat in the US is to Florida....

My daughter is blaming me for this because I made the comment yesterday that "I guess we aren't going to have any tropical storms this season!"

[rdl6989]

And she’s headed straight for the Gulf of Mexico.

You can't take all the blame. Elle Bee called an end to storm season Tuesday night--a full day before you did. ;o)

[NautiNurse]

We’re still hoping for Ida to suffer from Mountainous Interruptus.

[NautiNurse]

Ahem! The next five-day forecast update should put Mobile squarely in the center of “the cone of uncertainty.”

[girlscout]

LOL! Here's to that hope.

[blam]

"Ahem! The next five-day forecast update should put Mobile squarely in the center of “the cone of uncertainty.”"

Lordy, lordy.

At least we have the (very good) pecan crop almost done. Some years the storms coming through here affect the pecans so much that we have to buy pecans from Georgia for the Alabama Pecan Festival
(LOL)

[Elle Bee]

LOL

I'm sorry to all in Ida's path

I take full responsibility for the jinx

The Gulf is cooling so I really hope Ida remains a fish and rain event

I'll never give thanks early again

Everyone please stay safe ... and dry

.

[orlop9]

just when I thought I could start getting rid of the bottled water & canned goods...

[dixie sass]

And Georgia buys them from us in SC.

[NautiNurse]

Heads up Eastern GOM--it ain't over 'til it's over--
Ida strengthening...tropical storm watches issued for
portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and western Cuba...

TANKS,NN,,,

Hopefully Ida will miss us,,,

The water still ain’t gone down from the storms/tornados

last month,,,

The last thing we need in NW La. is rain,,,

Just got the damned carpets dried out!...&^%$#@#!!*)&$#@@!!!
