I had a couple of thoughts about this - 1. It's interesting that Irene is the same in sequence this year as Isabel was, and that it's headed in roughly the same direction. 2. We haven't seen much damage from the storms that head up our way - nothing like the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, anyway. I think it would be an unusual storm indeed for us to get much damage or danger from it.

If a hurricane comes up the bay, we're screwed.

Were you around for Isabel

Did you drive through North Beach, just as an example...

I was thinking about you this morning. Looks like it's going north of there no matter where it goes, you may just have heavy surf. Watch the kiddies and have a great time!

Thanks!

Heavy surf is way better than heavy wind and rain for both the beachcombers and golf addicts.

Here's another thought the last 2 Hurricanes that have really messed with the area were Ivan believe and we know what Isabelle did, both started with the letter I.

The weather channel showed that comparison last night.

- Both storms orignated in the same area.
- The storms tracks were almost a direct overlay
- One major difference at the storms location (yesterday) Isabel was a category III huricane (115 mph winds) Irene is still a tropical storm with 50 mph winds.

Report was a possibility of three "steering" weather dynamics that could affect the path of the storm.

I'm on the Incident Command Team at work, we just got a "head's up, your ass might be coming in for some overtime" email.

Latest forecast (1440Z) has it reaching Cat I and turning back to the northeast around the 17th while still offshore.

The forecast changes every minute it seems. It is gaining, it is turning, it is getting stronger, nope, gonna turn, getting weak, turning, stronger.

Kizzy girl, they're weather guessers. They got to cover their azz with every possible forcast. :shrug:

jazz lady · Aug 12, 2005

I just watched the Weather Channel and it is definitely strengthening. There is little wind shear now to prevent it from gaining strength as it heads over warmer water. It should be a Cat I hurricane very soon. Their projected track has it curving and heading almost parallel to the coast:

I know I know, and they are putting out every possible guess.

The male pow wow decided to take the chance and go down. The way it looks now, it is going to miss S.C.

Ken King · Aug 12, 2005

Errors in projections out to day #4 and #5 average around 250 and 325 miles respectively for position. I use this little site that plots out the NHC data and projections and it includes an archive that you can search to see past storms and the tracks they took. Hurricane Data
