It sounds like overnight it made a north turn and won't have any impact on our area.
We dodged a bullet.
All the rain we are getting now is not associated with Joaquin at all. Could you imagine all this as an appetizer for even a glancing blow from a strong TS?
Saw that this am, when getting up to go work out.
Probably will still get a lot of rain, though. Would be nice not to make up for lack of rain all in one week!
I know -wasn't really clear in my posting. Glad to have dodged the bullet - but we ARE still getting a ton of rain from the nor'easter and it would be nice to not have it all in the same week.

SoMD won't get 50mph winds. At least not from the hurricane. The NHC has us a ways out of the 50kt wind probability area. The biggest weather impact for us is this "nor'easter" that's been dumping all this rain on the east coast.
Uh...how long have you been in Florida for? 5 years? Florida used to get pummeled and it will surely pick up again at some point (I heard it goes through rotations between Florida and the mid-Atlantic). One year we had 3+ hurricanes/scares in a 2 week period. Plus, it's further south where the water is warmer and the hurricanes get stronger. No offense to Sandy or Isabel, but they were much weaker than a lot of the storms that hit the south. Sure, there's flooding and that can be damaging, but that happens with tropical storms too. Florida is just a bit more prepared now since everyone is serious about hurricanes down there, whereas up north we don't prepare properly (including building codes). Just looking at the list of hurricanes, Florida has the most major storms to hit in that not too distant past (cat 3+). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_hurricanes
errm....until it has passed us, we haven't dodged a bullet. It's only a projection until that point and they're never accurate. Some of the models still show it coming this way. Even if it passes us, I remember one hurricane that made a circle and came back for usI know -wasn't really clear in my posting. Glad to have dodged the bullet - but we ARE still getting a ton of rain from the nor'easter and it would be nice to not have it all in the same week.
Was that better?
Thank goodness! I see that my trench is doing a good job of routing the rain we're getting now, so I'm happyIt sounds like overnight it made a north turn and won't have any impact on our area.

RAIN or SMOW which is worse?
You might catch a break. Weather guy just said that due to wind direction, water is being pulled out of the bay instead of being pushed in.
Sorry, buddy.
It's just life on the island.Sorry, buddy.
lol!It's just life on the island.
Be safe and good luck.It's just life on the island.
Plenty of good stuff..and a much lighter crowd than usual, of course. Scored a diesel lawn tractor and a couple smalls today. But Bubby cut it off early..so tomorrow they are going to really have to move out to auction off what is left.
We missed you.
Island being hammered...solid 35-40 mph winds on east/north side....roads completely flooded..piers on both sides of my place badly damaged..trees going down everywhere.
Still haven't got a clue, eh, shorty? Life in the lobotomy lane...must be interesting.I'm at CIP. Come on up Baldy!
