This system is headed for very warm waters.

I have added Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama to this thread. Hopefully Texas will not be in the target areas.

And that was just fine with me.

It wasn't fine for people living on Eastern Long Island in the thirties. The weather service knew there was a hurricane but had it forecast to stay offshore. Instead, LI took a direct hit from what came to be called the Long Island Express. They started the day with calm weather and were fighting for their lives by afternoon.

I actually remember that storm——and have posted about it here on FR.

That forecast, Sunday 8:00AM, shows a direct hit on New Orleans.

Let's hope they got the overdue parts for the broken flood pumps.

Your post, reminded me of the night (must have been 1961) that I slept the night in the Montauk Point cemetery.

I was in submarine school over in New London, Connecuit and was persuaded to take the ferry over for a 'night on the town' there. I wasn't told that we took the last ferry of the day.

I hope it was summer-—Montauk is nice then.

Yup...summer time.

Coming right for me.

This is not good.

It is now Hurricane Nate. Methinks we need one of your special hurricane threads now.
