TROPICAL STORM ISAAC Discussion Thread #9

I can't imagine the NHC putting more weight in the Euro than their concensus TV..s models and the GFS, if this was 2-4 years ago I could see that, but not now.

LMAO, yeah going out on quite a limb agreeing the the NHC forecast, haha.

Exactly. The GFS has been outperforming the ECMWF model.

I agree with Mitch..no need for evacuations yet. But voluntary from areas outside levee protection should be happening now.

Meanwhile just got this tweet from TWC:

Swarm of over 50 earthquakes is ongoing in S. California near the Salton Sea. Most were minor; largest was 5.3 in San Diego.. Wow...

Back to Isaac....

Thank God for St. Charles for closing schools Mon-Wed and letting us get out of dodge. Because of that, we are leaving tonight. Will be going to Lafayette. I know it's in the path per GFS but that's where I made ressies and that's where my son is. Hotel is 43' above sea level, no trees, near banks, walmart, walgreens, and my daughter's favorite: Starbucks!

Know we're likely to get bad weather and wind....just running from water. Slosh model for my area is 10' for a slow moving Category 2....

Yall be safe everyone...

We're going to Lafayette as well!!!
