Maria Discussion Thread

Thank you. I'm on the West coast. My neighbor went home two days ago (he owns a generator) he said they haven't even gotten to our town yet alone our street. He thinks it'll be another week or so before we get power. I might stay a bit longer and see what this storm does. No sense in going all the way back if i have to leave again around the 27th.

All....my.....friends..know the low rider.......

Doesn't the Gulf usually have to worry about low riders too?

Was speaking of the model's runs very far out. Eh had Irma hitting NYC. Didn't come close.

I believe they were just referring to something we used to say here....the best place to be in the long range is right in the bullseye because the forecast will likely change.

Ah.. I gotcha!  I need to lighten up I suppose  

As a refresher, the GFS runs took Irma out to sea, then to Boston, then to New York, then to Philadelphia, then to Virginia Beach, then to Myrtle Beach, then to Savannah, GA, then to Jacksonville, then to Miami, then eventually settled upon the basic track that Irma actually took.

Allow me enough guesses throughout the season, and even I can (eventually) forecast the Saints' final W-L correctly. 

While the Euro performed rather admirably, IMHO right now the models are brain candy for those of us who are weathergeeks; not much more than that, though.
