Monsoon
you gotta be a real idiot to die in a Hurricane...you gets days advance warning...and just move 5-10 miles inland and you’ll be fine...only if you dont move and stay right on the coast...pure stupidity. Btw,,,Earth Quakes kill tens of thousands more than Hurricanes...
Hurricane Phoenix, absolute worst case scenario for Tampa, its happening, storm now predicted to slow to a crawl as Cat 4
48 hrs of hurricane winds, with storm surge!
GTFO
Great resource. The sound of rain sounds wonderful right now. I haven’t heard that much this year here in W. Texas.
Hats off to the hurricane hunters. Brave souls one and all.
Right near my old home town GITMO. Every October we’d get hurricanes.
I screenshot this from the weather app on my phone yesterday. It shows the path of the hurricane if it keeps on the track it’s on.
The track “teardrop” that they show you is a summary of all of the computer prediction models for its track. Notice that it’s real accurate within 30 minutes of the hurricane movement, but then varies widely as time goes on.
Similar computer models are used as the basis to scare people about “climate change”.
Tells you all you need to know.
We will only get some rain by the time anything reaches us. It’s always greatly dimished if it comes from S.FL. Now, if it comes from N. Florida, S. Carolina, or S. North Carolina, we can get more. We get our worst storms if it comes from N. Florida. They have trouble getting over the Appalachians if they come from the Carolinas.
It’s the same thing with snow. We rarely get snow but if we do it has to come from the South, believe it or not. The mountain ranges around us block a lot of that kind of weather. Now, if it’s tornadoes, we have those!
I note they moved Ian to a Cat #3......
LOL, cute description. I grew up in S. Florida (Margate/Pompano Beach) and lived through many bad hurricanes. I have been in TN since 1968 and lived through a lot of tornadoes. Give me a hurricane any day! At least you have a few days to prepare for them even if they are unpredictable.
Most of our really bad weather here from hurricanes comes from N. Florida coast or South S. Carolina. Anywhere else and they have to get over mountain ranges and end up being only rain. Anything coming up from the South can get nasty here.
We have neither here in this area as surrounded with hills and sits in a gully sort of.
We have had some wicked thunder and lightening storms though.
I was looking out window during one and saw a bolt of blinding lightening hit the telephone pole and just snapped the wires like a string. The sight and sound were horrendous so close - stones throw away. It did shake me up that close.
I lived in Chattanooga. I know where that dot is :)
**** Notice******
Now posting on The Main Ian thread.....Here at this link.

If a tornado gets in these hills, sometimes it has a hard time lifting off to get out. Fortunately, my farm sits in the bottom of a deep valley. We have seen several jump the ridge behind us, go airborne long enough to skip over the house, and go over the ridge in front of us before getting back on the ground to demolish everything on the other side of the hill from us. I’m so far back in the hills that I have to sit outside on the porch to use the cell phone. The TV and Internet are both satellite. I’m in what the old folks called a “holler”. The old farm house is 70-years old. The older generation knew to build in the “holler” to knock off some of the wind and on ground high enough off the valley floor not to flood.
:-) I’m in Athens, between Chattanooga and Knoxville.
Another SE shift in the 12z model suite
Good one.
