someone pinged NN but in case NN is not available to ping...
And a sigh of relief is going out from this Jacksonville person for answered prayers. Keep these systems coming with more rain, no hurricane force winds and fill the aquifers, lakes and rivers back to normal as well as put out the raging fires. Thank you Lord!
Freegards,
Lex
Barbara and Barry, sitting in the sea ...
Churning it up for all to see.
If there is a Hurricane Ping, please add me to it. Thanks!
First came floods, then came looters
That track takes it over the wild fire areas of Georgia...should help a lot there!
Well, that didn’t take long, now did it?
When did *A* happen? I know we don’t start with *B*.
We still have way too many forest fires still burning, but already, the Apalachicola National Forest and areas eastward are getting persistent light rain, with bigger showers offshore and headed our way.
There are many mechanisms in nature here in Florida that quite literally depend an occasional tropical storm or hurricane.
Barry is heading out of the gulf quickly, but Barbara’s probably going to track up near the Mexican coast. My read on this is that Barbara has more potential to give a low, long greasy swell in the Western and Middle Gulf, if there’s enough energy left there in 2-3 days, and Barry is going to give a more choppy swell that will probably be negligible west of the middle Gulf (85w if anyone cares). I don’t see much interesting happening unless Barry stalls out in the next 12 hours. It seems to have formed too fast to have much oomph... but I’ve been wrong before.
sO TRUE
Starting early this year, eh?
I remember 5 years ago I was on vacation in Florida and the Weather Channel was going on about a Tropical Storm Barry heading our way. They reuse names quickly, I guess.
With any hope, hurricanes this year won’t be politicized like Katrina and Rita and governors will actually ORDER EVACUATIONS. And the Dems think the Republicans have the lower IQs...at least we actually get the crap out when there’s a category 5 200-mph wind hurricane coming straight for us.
We lived in VA Beach from 2000-2004 while my husband was in the Navy and only had to outrun Isabel (they sent my husband’s sub out to sea. THAT’S another fun story) Now we’re in Maryland just down the road from NAS Pax River, so this is our first hurricane season I won’t have to worry about my husband getting sent out to sea. Something tells me I have a lot to learn....
As an aside, our RINO governor is in Israel pursuing trade agreements.
Another Jacksonville Amen.
BTW- the gulf stream tends to shoot Atlantic hurricanes into the Carolinas, and the ones that come in across the Gulf loose alot of steam over land when they come in the back door, but Mayor Peyton this morning was reminding us Jacksonvillians that Hurricanes that come across the Tampa/ St.Marks area have a potential to feed on the warm water of the St. Johns.
