TS Erika Ping!.................

[rktman]

I’m still waiting to hear the glow bull worming statement from the lyin’ king on how this would never have occurred if we had close them dang infernal coal power plants 50 years ago like he wanted.

[Dacula]

Oh good. We finally get to reactivate the old weather ping list.

Tropical Storm ERIKA

Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt: Erika

[John S Mosby]

Headed to Bermuda. Check the models. Hopefully not continuing into NC and VA. They don’t need it.

[T-Bone Texan]

Wow, it passed over Vieques.

It was a very beautiful place. I hope it fared well; they have a sub breed of horses unique to the island. Ponies, actually, and they are so docile you can pet them. They run free, which is all fun and games until you want to operate a motor vehicle. Then they suck.

[T-Bone Texan]

It’s going anyhere near Houston, so yay!

[Cementjungle]

Headed to Bermuda. Check the models. Hopefully not continuing into NC and VA. They don’t need it.

It looks like it'll be a cat 1 off the coast of Southern FL (right where I am) and then hug the coast heading north. Might strengthen on it's way up, then slam into some state between SC on up to NJ. If it hits NJ then Chris Christi gets to hug Obama again.

I look for the projected path to shift further into the Atlantic in the coming forecasts.
Joe says it still may amount to something a bit later.

Should be a big convection collapse next six hours in Erica. If it survives up then look out great pattern for intensification on weekend

[ken5050]

We’re about to find out if the Marlin’s new stadium is up to snuff..

[867V309]

Great! It's time for the weather-babe with a windbreaker to stand beside the railing on Cocoa Beach. They tie a ribbon to the railing so we can tell it's a hurricane.

Hurry, buy your generators. Fear sells.

[Parley Baer]

Joe predicted if it breaks through all the wind shear it might develop into something once it hits the warm waters off out coasts.

[Chasaway]

Hey, there!

I may be a little slow here, but whatever happened to the NautiNurse hurricane ping list?

I live on N. Padre Island and used to get all kinds of updates from him/her.

I haven’t seen anything in a long while from NautiNurse.

Did they quit running a list? Or has the activity been that slow?

Wondering......

[NormsRevenge]

I saw a report where it has been a few years since a major landfall of a major blow..

Now with el neenyah getting shipped up, who knows the relationship.. But.. Ya never know when climate change will really whupp up a mess and where these days.. ;-)

[HotHunt]

Looks like the rain won't let up here in north central Florida anytime soon. It's been a really wet summer. We had a hellacious two hour thunderstorm last evening with lots of close lightening strikes and got 3.5 inches of rain out of it.

Our hay is ready to cut but it is too wet right now. Fields are saturated with water and soggy, even in this sandy soil. If this tropical storm heads our way, we will lose our hay. It's ready to mow but we can't buy a dry day with some sun to dry it out. The sun comes out and is hot and humid in the mornings but usually rains in the afternoons.

Living on a narrow peninsula, like Florida, with water on both sides of us, this is pretty normal, I guess.

[Red Badger]

Yep, normal Florida weather for this time of year. We needed the rain, but looks like you all got it!......................

[Ingtar]

Courtesy ping.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Been, what? 9+ years since the last hurricane actually hit the US coast? (NY’s bluster re-elected Obola - with Chris Christie’s and his mainstream press corpse’ magnanimous help!) ... but that was only a storm by the time it got that far north.

[GOYAKLA]

Max Sustained winds 45-50 MPH.
In Florida, equivalent to a gnats f-rt!
We all goin’ to die!
11pm last night to 11am this morning it traveled in a WSW direction.
Keeping that course for additional 24 hours could put it south of Dominican Repub.& Puerto Rico, 150-180 miles.
My hope is, a turn just east of Jamaica and rip a new one in CUBA!
