Thanks yall but I haven't seen it! LOL
About darn time for one. For awhile there I thought I'd moved to Kansas.
Now, that's the spirit!
Already cancelled (postponed) same trip FOUR times last year!
Be safe NN and thaks again for one fabulous thread. You do such GOOD work.
To be perfectly honest - I don't remember that storm.......but I can understand not wanting to be cooped up inside :)
After seeing that horrid photo I'm really worried. I can't stand that hateful woman.
fyi: the link above for TD 12 track archives didn't update when the storm was upgraded to Katrina. The new archive link is: Katrina Track Archives
wow great stuff.
He's the XTRREME WEATHER D00D!
It's not as if we couldn't use the rain! :)
LOL!
Oh. I just heard that some MTV awards show is scheduled for Friday in Miami. This should be pretty funny...
Mud football (actually frisbee) was being played in my yeard yesterday and it was primarily marsh mud :^)
It gets worse -- I'm already looking forward to the first big "DEATH SNOWSTORM 2005/2006!"
You're one sick puppy :)
Man, the system looks like it is really starting to get its act together - a thick semicircle of convection now wraps all the way around the western half of the storm - which had been its least-developed sector.
Yeah, it is starting to explode. Can pick it up nicely on Miami radar as well.
Just damn! Look at that convection...and some beautiful outflow.
