Our TS warning just got extended from 6pm to 9pm...and we're still under that tornado watch till 9pm. Rain is picking up and the winds here are 25-30mph.
Ours has been til 9 for quite some time. and flooding until morning.
It has not stopped raining here at all this afternoon - although it hasn't been a pounding rain - just staedy.
But it is absolutely deadly calm.
I'm not sure I like the last statement I heard that it would start tracking back east once it hit Norfolk and hit the Atlantic at the mouth of the Chesapeake........not good ......but at least it's moving rather fast and the winds have subsided a bit.
Now all we have to do is watch TS Danielle and Earle - now moving through the Atlantic.
You can see all at this WPTF weather website.
I know, I know - it's hurricane season til the end of November - so this is not a surprise. But it does become a bit nervewracking......
(That WPTF Weather Guy - Accuweather's Joe Bastardi - has his own pay for his expertise business linked there at the WPTF website! Good for him. Entrepreneurize his Weather acumen. ....but I don't plan to pay for the expertize....still, not a bad idea for him to do that. Here's Joe Bastardi's Professional Weather Watching Service website for any who might be lurking and interested.) Joe accurately predicted Charley's intensification. There's a lot more to "payfor" weather stuff on this site.....just passing the info along for those who may want to spend some money. )
Once again - hope this storm speeds on by you in Va and on up and out. But it looks like it will hit some in the NE - hopefully not too severely.
