Egads!—go to the top of the thread and take a peek at the monster size tropical wave that just dropped off the Africa coast. Too early for forecast guidance. Hopefully, it won’t develop.

To: Interesting Times
Let me tell you something, and I'm not going to argue with you about it because I know that I'm right. NOAA sucks and now that Odumba$$ is at the helm they really suck. They are wrong more than they are right. Local meteorologists kick their butts on a regular basis. Learn to read the weather, take what NOAA says with a grain of salt. Use the computer models and ignore what they say. Watch the storm on satellites, watch the radar loops, listen to NOAA, but don't take what they say at face value, especially not now.

We have evacuated probably 10-15 times and NOAA was wrong. No, I don't trust NOAA and I really don't pay much attention to what they say. If we get a mandatory evacuation order we close the hurricane shutters, take care of the outside and get ready to leave. But we always wait a little while, many times this has saved us from evacuating. Mandatory, we leave, voluntary, hell no, not unless it's knocking on the door.

Now that the Marxist Kenyan in chief is at the helm of NOAA, I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYY don't trust a word they say since it is quite apparent he's desperately trying to look like he's not the infantile Marxist Narcissist that he really is, to desperately try to do anything to boost his rapidly sinking poll numbers.

NY TIMES headlines Monday:

"OBAMA SAVES THE ENTIRE EASTERN SEABOARD FROM THE MOST DEVASTATING HURRICANE IN HISTORY. HE SAVED THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, NY CITY, HE WILL SAVE THE WORLD, MANY ACTUALLY SAW HIM WALK ON TOP OF FLOOD WATERS, WE ARE TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE THIS MAN AT THE HELM".

PS... I bet you also were one of the ones that believe BP wasn't spraying Corexit over homes during the oil spill. You know all of those people that saw them lied, the gummit would never lie, neither would BP. It's those damn Southerners spewing lies to make O look bad, don't you know? If FL should be unfortunate to get hit this year, I pray to God the clown in the WH stays the hell away, the only Floridians that will fall for his staged photo ops are the ones in Palm Beach and Broward. The good ole SE coast. Yanks that messed their states up and come down here to mess this one up too.

Over and out...until later when I hear from my sister in MD and see what her winds were there. She's been through many FL canes so she will have plenty to compare with.

My weather station is wireless (as long as it’s intact!) and I can post from my cell, so I will do updates as I am able.

I saw that a little earlier. If that starts to form it is going to be very, very ugly.

shhhhhhhhhhh, don’t state facts. Better to just say it’s going to be a catastrophe of monumental proportions. It will make Katrina look like a spring shower. This is one is important, it’s a liberal storm. That makes it much worse. Hero to his sheeple....poll number daydreams.... Everything is political nowadays, everything, even the damn weather.

Enjoyed that movie.. quirky & off beat but fun

Checking in. Been following the thread off & on all day. Nothing significant to add but hoping to see a gentle as possible outcome to this storm.

Lots of tragedy & heartbreak already. Doesn’t need to be cataclysmic to be so.

Thanks to all for the good information you add

To be sure the only things I say NAY to are (1) overwrought emotionalism and (2) knocking fellow Freepers, beyond some utilitarian limit.

Hey Manhasset! Used to sail over to the old Louie’s all the time.

Uh yeah, sounds like you’re gonna be soggy. Fortunately I live at the very tippy top highest point on the Island, good for flooding - bad for wind.

I fully expect us to be cut off from the mainland for a couple of days, they closed our bridge at 5:pm. Bloomers is an idiot!

A barrier island is not where I would want to be in a tropical storm or even a tropical depression. Especially with unusually high tides. I pray that it continues to weaken and that your family is safe and sound after it passes. You can’t force people to leave, I know, I have tried. One of our sons actually thinks they are fun and hangs around to ride them out. Not me, I evacuate. I guess he didn’t think it was so much fun after he drove over a bridge during Hurricane Wilma and the wind driven salt spray sand blasted his new Range Rover. I suspect he will leave the next time.

Update from here in Norfolk...........

Lots of wind and rain. Tropical storm winds since I got up and rained all night. Lost power around 11:20 and got it back at 2:40. Flooding in low lying areas. Went down to Ocean View part of Norfolk, on the bay. Drove the Nissan Titan. The waves were lapping at the underside of the new fishing pier, the one that replaced the pier that was destroyed by Isabel. Right now the center of the storm is at the VA/NC line right on the coast. 80 MPH winds with gusts to 98. High tide right about now. I live on some of the higher ground in the city. Lots of flooding, a large watermain break, tree limbs down all over the place, and an 11 year old in Newport News was killed this morning when a tree crashed thru his apartment building. The ocean is up on the boardwalk in Virginia Beach.

Spent the day teaching my wife and 10 year old daughter how to play Risk. We played Clue last night, and started a game of Monopoly after I won Risk. With the power off we didn’t want our steaks to spoil, so I was out under the covered patio grilling in the storm.

The storm should be pulling away now, I hope we have no other problems, but I think it’s going to be a long night.

LOL—I am actually decaf, although I confess I’ve been sneaking a few of the regular leaded beans into the grinder the past few days. :o)
