[H] HURRICANE HELENE - Discussion & Aftermath

Looks like some storms are trying to fire up in the east side of the center

The sad thing is that if it doesn’t get as strong as they expected, people will say that it was overhyped and “much ado about nothing”. The NHC has every reason to put everyone on notice that Helene could undergo RE given the conditions in place. If it doesn’t, then just consider it a blessing. It’s sort of like the old saying “better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.” Prepare for the worst and hope for the best kinda thing. I just really hope she takes longer to get her act together for the sake of the folks in the Big Bend.

I don’t like what I’m seeing

What do you see? Is it kicking out that dry air that was trying to filter in on the north of it?

Mostly what I’m seeing is that it appears thunderstorms are blowing up around the center. But yeah, if looks to me there is less dry air too.

Thanks. I have friends back toward Pensacola I can stay with if needed. I’ll check in the morning and make up my mind. As of now though, I plan on staying. My apartment building survived Michael which was a whole lot closer than this will be.
