Thanks as usual for doing the normal fantastic job that you do NN,no one better!
I have been watching Laura for a few days now with the first track pointed directly at us which was actually reassuring.When a storm is pointed directly at your home as Laura was a few days ago odds on it keeping that track or really low.Its more likely to go either north or south of us since they don't go in the same direction forever,they always move.This one moved South and I'm glad.
We are now out of the cone and unless it moves north we wont get any really bad issues from Laura.
This is a storm to watch however.
Some of the forecasts are for it to move over Hispanola and Cuba and still stay at 50 knots and keep its circulation which means its a serious storm. Lots of times they lose a lot when the center crosses land especially the mountains of both islands, we shall see.
Once again we go into prime time storm season without any meaningful buoy info thanks to NOAA.
Key to this storm,information wise, would have been Molasses reef light.This info has been gone for over a year which supports my argument that much of NOAA needs to be privatized.
