Welcome back. I am so envious you had the chance to FReep with the legendary DC Chapter! Saw the photos of you doing good work outside Walter Reed on a Friday night or two. Bravo!
A few weeks ago there were stories in the local news about families that DID receive their insurance check but had not yet completed repairs. The caution was that any damage until the repairs were finished would not be covered! You might want to be wary of a sudden offer of a check on Friday morning!

Looks like Alpha might be on the way, NautiNurse. Check out the huge burst of deepening convection just SE of the Windwards:

You don't think there'll be surge wherever she happens to make landfall in FL? For example, the Naples/Everglades area?

Looks like Alpha might be on the way I was watching that last night, even as Wilma was bombing out. Accuweather was saying it could develop over the next few days.
I'll go out on a limb and say we get to TS Gamma before all is said and done. ;)

I was just doing a search for something else and came across
this site. It is a site about a ship that rescued some Vietnamese boat people in 1980. The Vietnamese are now grown and thanking the crew for their rescue. I was struck with the success of these rescued people: Master degree; CalPoly, college math professor, etc.
Isn't America wonderful! (These people sure blow a hole in the welfare mindset, huh?)

I vote right here and now that instead of 'Alpha' we name the next one
algoreThat's just about as 'alpha' as we can get at this time of history, I would think... a couple years late, but I don't think that whosername... his campaign advisor... brawley?... would think it inappropriate - she would support it completely.

"I don't know if they are sold out in your area, but in the sporting goods/camping department Walmart's has some small single burner propane stoves." I have one of those, they're excellent. The propane lantern is very good too.

Isn't America wonderful! It sure is, for those with the initiative to make use of the opportunities it offers, instead of sitting around whining and griping and demanding to be taken care of.

No Need for divorce It's kind of a joke right now, but I'm not kidding about getting out of dodge and he's not kidding about staying. We have plenty of cars, but we both feel like the other one is being ridiculous. It's funny now, but won't be when THE BIG ONE is coming.

Storm surge isn't an issue for the east coast of Fl. with this storm.

It's kind of a joke right now, but I'm not kidding about getting out of dodge and he's not kidding about staying. My mom and dad live along the Texas Coast near Corpus. My dad pulled a Nagin and did crossword puzzles for two days as Rita moved into the Gulf. By the time the town they live in issued an evacuation order, it was nearly impossible to find a hotel room within 600 miles (I spent two hours and finally found one).
My mom was ready to divorce him after that one. But she got over it, especially since Rita missed them by hundreds of miles. So in the end, a lot depends upon what the hurricane actually does.

One of my son-in-laws has the propane latern... it really puts out the light! I like the little stove cooker because it is so compact... easy to store and easy to transport.
We also use our propane fish cooker... to heat water for cleaning. Even water caught during the storm is useful with a little bleach and heat! Save the good stuff for drinking! AND I keep clorox wipe ups on hand.

It's fiction. Fiction is fiction. That movie is liberal propaganda. It might as well have been written, directed, and produced by algore.

There will be some surge, probably moderate... nothing that most won't be able to deal with though. With Rita and Katrina we saw massive surge thanks to the fact that they churned at cat 5 for a while, but also because they didn't deviate track too much. This storm is pushing the main body of surge towards mexico, then it will weaken as it moves the opposite direction... so, surge shouldn't be a major deal.
