Yeah. It's going to be a real soggy few days for both of us.
To show you how crazy those five-day hurricane guesstimates are...at 11:00 EDT last night, the NHC 120-hour track had Jeanne parked directly over Hilton Head. Six hours later, at 120 hours, now they're saying she'll be at least 100 miles east of Jacksonville westbound for St. Augustine.
I almost wish they'd go back to issuing just three-day maps and skip the five-days...or just put a blob out after 72 hours, without a center track line. I know they tell us "look at the cone, not at the line," but it's human nature to look at that track line and think it's authoritative. And when that track line can wobble 200 miles in a six-hour period (no slam on the NHC/NWS, that's just the best they can do forecasting these things), people are going to get pissed.
Just had a hell of a rainband come through northeast Columbia. 35-40 mph winds and blinding rain for about 20 minutes and it's just started up again. And we're supposed to get these off and on all day, with long periods of no rain in between. Nothing like what the folks on the Gulf just went through, but still not much fun.
