The fact of the matter is it is not a hurricane until you find 74mph. LOL
THANK you Zack..........that's the bottom line- what we feel down here on the ground.
I don't know if you put that there as a joke or serious, but regardless, we have seasoned professional mets at the NHC and Hurricane Hunters who have known what they are doing for a very long time. If their TOTAL data does not support it, then why classify it just because some folks down below want it to be?
Also remember..............it doesn't really matter. Hurricane/Tropical Storm, anyone who is not living in a cave or is not totally sauced at some tavern knows there will be some misery.
Quite honestly, I think it's time to forget TS/Hurricane and start focusing on a misery index. On a scale from 1-10, we'd be feeling when all is said and done..........what.........a 7.4?
"Let's work the problem, people; don't make things worse by guessing!"
I'm telling you all...watch, they'll keep it as a TS and these strong FLW's will come down to the surface once inland and people won't know what hit them.

Anyone just see that piece on WWL from Shell Beach? Water rising quickly and HAULING up Bayou LaLoutre. Capo shut Frank Campo down, ended the interview and said, "WE'RE BUGGING OUTTA HERE"!
I think its going to fizzle out before it gets here
I wouldn't go quite that far, your Honor, but sometimes it does happen that some types of meteorological data do not translate to hell-on-earth down below.

Unstinking real....so we actually have a 976mb tropical storm.
Watch, those winds will work down to the surface as he's making landfall and will shock the heck out of everyone.
What's starting to bother me about this is that reading my facebook, complacency has set in big time because of people's lack of understanding about pressures and FLW. This is not the time to be complacent.

I totally agree. people are watching TWC and seeing its JUST a TS. alot of people are in for a rude awakening.

I can't help but wonder if they are going to do what they did with (I think it was Cindy) and when it's over say, "my bad it really was a Cat 1". Whatever, I agree that the misery level is going to increase as time passes.

stormydds: Thanks for your reply... as usual

Zack Fradella: Yea, Lezak had a paper peer reviewed and published a year or so ago.
Nov 5, 2022 9:03:24 GMT -6
stormydds: Thanks for your response. I felt that is the case. that's too bad. Has there been any peer reviewed papers on the LRC hypothesis?
Nov 4, 2022 14:01:51 GMT -6
Zack Fradella: Not sure, the LRC is something that takes a lot of work to follow and keep up with. It's not as easy as looking at the parameters and making a forecast. This deters many from even giving it a chance. Also, there is some doubt from the weather world.

stormydds: Zack, a friend had a meeting in Lafayette which Rob Perillo spoke.He asked him why the LRC is not used to forecast hurricanes by NOAA.His answer was that Lezak won't share the info.I saw the podcast you and David made with Gary.He seemed open.What gives?

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Been unblocked. Dylan says that the station took major damage, so no idea when they'll even be able to stream again, or be on the air. Hopefully, they will at least let their employees deal with their own property issues!

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: According to another met on twitter, the kitten was rescued by a producer who's adopting it. Of course that hasn't stopped the angry mob, with torches and pitchforks, who are insisting that it's a lie.

nolachic: Pink - he's probably blocking people he doesn't personally know to keep his cell charged and to get his head straight, and I'm sure he is beyond exhausted.
Sept 29, 2022 9:23:35 GMT -6
SKYSUMMIT: I sent him a message yesterday as well, but he hasn't seen it.
Sept 29, 2022 5:46:06 GMT -6
PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Oh hell, I meant for that to be a message!
Sept 28, 2022 19:38:19 GMT -6
PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Dylan is taking a beating on Twitter. I just tried to send him a message of support, since we've been following each other for years, and HE BLOCKED ME!!!!!! Somebody who can get to him needs to do so, pronto!!! I'm very worried about him.

T-man: Well we are looking forward to a cool front, not a scary hurricane, that's for sure!
