August just ended and the Atlantic is a hot tub right now, if that sucker makes no/partial landfall it's gonna be organized and pushing Cat 1 winds till it passes Maine or makes landfall, whichever comes first. Chesapeake Bay is still very much in the cards to take a cat 1 hit.

Chesapeake Bay is still very much in the cards to take a cat 1 hit. It's a bit disingenuous to call this a hit unless it gets here, makes a hard left and then stalls. You're talking about a few hours of really strong wind into the bay before it's far enough north for the wind to reverse course and blow the water back out. It'd be loving great if noreasters could learn that trick.

Looks like I'll be riding it out here in Jax Beach. We're not in a flood zone, so usually it's just dealing with the power outage for a few hours.

I've volunteered with UMCOR, an offshoot of the united methodist church devoted to disaster relief. They do disaster relief around the country and the region and long after FEMA is gone they'll be there on the ground fixing peoples' homes with a very well-oiled machine. I spent a week in Pensacola with a small team and we partially reframed a couple of old ladies' homes in-place, fixed their roof damage, remediated their mold, and replaced mattresses and appliances that had been moldy/busted for 2 years since they flooded. I'm not religious but it was a great experience, I learned a lot and the recipients were super grateful. You can be sure they'll be in the bahamas and florida and wherever this storm goes, helping people who've slipped through the cracks. If you've got methodist churches around you can probably find a local group to tag along with. They've also got an 89.9 on charity navigator.

The high tides to the west of me (Anastasia Island) have been freakishly high all this week. Some super lunar moon magic psycho tide or something but it's very concerning because with Matthew and Irma, both times all of the flooding came from the west and the intercoastal waterway. The eastern ocean side of A1A was fine CROSS POST from CSPAM: etalian posted:Florida saved by the northward tilt of the storm! Everyone is counting on this turn, like waiting for a curve ball to break into the strike zone but I'm not that confident and everything seems to be hinging on it. This storm has been bizarre. Not my first either by a long shot and I can't recall one before where the predictions have been so extremely off and varying. My assumption is that the accelerated impact of climate change is rendering past predictive models somewhat obsolete, or at least inaccurate. They really haven't been updated to account for the warmer seas and the Atlantic is like bath water right now. I realized the other day though that my place of work is a perfect place to evacuate so I might be pulling a Costanza and sleeping under my desk for a few days/nights. It won't flood, is a veritable fortress and has a kitchen, a shower, vending machines, TV, internet, etc. Just need to bring some cushions or pillows to sleep on. Will be the shortest commute of my life.

So forecasting goons, how bad to you think it will be in NC on Saturday morning? Everyone is focused on FL for obvious reasons but I got family out there in NC and one with a flight out there in the 7th 😅😭

Koalas March posted:So forecasting goons, how bad to you think it will be in NC on Saturday morning? Costal and low land flooding in areas that usually have it, wind damage of a cat 1 or 2 on the coast, unless a significant change in track but you days to figure it out this thing is slow as hell. Unless you are on Hatteras or something.
