Ivan is what finally convinced my late mother in law to (finally) sell her house along the Youghogheny River. It dumped so much rain, so fast, that the volunteer firemen had to evacuate her...we were on our way, but (flash) flooded roads delayed us by maybe a half an hour...they got her (and elderly neighbors out). She had water 3 cellar steps from entering the first floor. Awful storm and clean up job.

I hope for the sake of your MD holdings, and your peace of mind, the beasty keeps heading to the Gulf. Good luck.

Yeah, no question, Ivan was a nasty one. I was out driving around in it trying to get somewhere. I made it, but probably shouldn’t have. It was warm, calm, and damp when I left, but all hell broke loose halfway to my destination.

Will Fox News Channel send Shepherd Smith and Gerry Rivers to the beaches in rain slickers for the entire weekend?

Yep. Saw they had gone now to a CAT 3 on the advisory...but I think its going to a 4 in the next 2-3 days. Upper levels are going to awesome. Given how much it is deepening now....just wait....

Serious hot towers poking up in the last couple of frames of the loop in #78. Not good at all. I am thinking major hurricane by 11pm advisory, with all that warm water to work. with

Some models are starting to show a Sandy-like track but further south. Other are having it park over NC/SC for days.

Models shifting south and west, other than Euro that still wants to send it out to sea.

GFS has come around closer to the Euro for an out to sea scenario. Models are all over the place this morning.

Oh, and Joaquin became a major hurricane last night as I expected, Cat 4 quite possible this morning.

Hurricane (Tropical Storm) Irene did a number on us in upstate NY and I am feeling a deja vu with this one.

Yow! That says it’s going to track right up the Connecticut river. That’s my back yard!

Last hurricane that tracked like that was Bob, back in the ‘80s. Left a nasty mess in western NH and estern VT.

You never know.

Here's the reason why: this area of the Atlantic is part of the infamous Bermuda Triangle, an area of ocean where because of sharp turn of oceanic currents from going west to going north to become the Gulf Stream, you can get major storms starting up and disappearing in a matter of hours. It's this unpredictable weather that explains most of the mysterious loss of airplanes and ships in this area.

Because Joaquin now moves in this area, even the National Hurricane Center in Miami can't predict easily where it will go next....

You're welcome! Pinhole eye forming, this will be up to Cat 4 by 11am advisory, has a shot at Cat 5. Is forecast to be in the Bahamas for at least 24 more hours if not 36, horrible news for the islands directly impacted.

Listen to Nelson fellows, that storm can do a 90, a 120, a 180 or anything in between. It can also bob back and forth and imitate Mohammad Ali, “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” There is a good reason the reports seem uncertain and that is that you only know the real most likely path until it is all over! Only a bona fide psychic could pin it down to one path beforehand. Get a map, draw out your prediction on it, have it witnessed, dated and signed and if you get it right you may have a future in show business. By the way, I am NOT saying that there are not any bona fide psychics.

Don’t get too fascinated, I nearly drowned in North Florida during Hurricane Dora in 1964. I was at Mayport reporting for duty on the Saratoga when it hit and Uncle Sam saw fit to assign me, along with a lot of other young dummies, to try to stop a hurricane with sandbags.
