But your original point was there is too much media hype.

When this is all said and done, the residents down there will actually trust the media more because if it was not for their "hype" they may not have evacuated.

Ok. We shall see

Thanks for posting that link

Those waves look like fun!!

Wish we got this. Oh well

There needs to be another scale depicting overall ENERGY/THREAT from hurricanes. The saffir-simpson scale is misleading and I'm seeing a lot of sighs of relief on social media that "at least Florence is not a 4 anymore." It's BS. Her hurricane force winds spread much further from the center than say, Andrew, and her surge will be more devastating. Not to mention her stalling and the resulting epic freshwater flood.

She looks like she’s stalled

didn't euro handle Flo the best so far? If so I'm going with the euro also biased cuz it does a decent storm that actually intensifies a bit as it heads over heh. Last 2 runs have shown this.

Because you're another fool. Taking GLEE in what will lead to terrible suffering. Wishing it was here.

Disgusting.

Been watching haven’t really chimed in for a while, but I get it Frank. The curiosity to experience it and the test to see how your knowledge and skills will fair in the middle of the storm.

Easy there.    No one is wishing for terrible suffering.  But for many on this board, myself included, there is the ultimate quandary of wanting to experience mother nature in all her power and beauty.  If you choose to cont this discussion please do so in the Banter thread and please do so with respect.  If you cont down the current path posts will be deleted.  

Please no one else respond to this in this thread.

Looks like almost stalled.  She is in the process of re-intensifying too.  

Well lookie here we are in the cone of depression LOL, I hope the Euro is right and we can at least get some kind of storm out of this on Tuesday/Wed.

I see that green trying to wrap around the center, uh oh, doesnt the storm start to get disrupted once any of the wind field goes over than though or just the center? I seem top remember hearing that it does.

Any re-intensification will likely be short lived. Sitting essentially still she will quickly churn up the waters beneath her cooling the SST rapidly effectively reducing the fuel for the fire. Combine that with the dryer air mass over land wrapping into her. But the stall off the coast means it will decay slower than if she actually made a landfall.

Does look better organized at the moment than it did earlier.

Eye spy due northward progression Not that it's coming up here, but it gives me a chance for a couple of my ideas to have merit. We shall see. At work, so I cannot discuss deeply to what im referring, but basically my predicted landfall point as well as ideas I presented a couple days ago. Be back later!

I have to say MANY of the Euro ensembles are mighty interesting for next week, some want to take it offshore of NJ and regenerate a little, the lowest I saw was 991mb and got to 988 as it moved towards cape.  We may get a TS like situation and almost all of the ensembles have ALOT of rain, some of them extreme like what sroc posted, Its too early to tell.  Some of them even keep her spinning until mid next week down south!!! Jesus some of the ensembles show 10-14 inches of rain in a strip from NJ across NYC into CT, not many but a few do. Many are 3-6.

What the heck Ray, reel her in screw the blocking mechanism lol, lets have a total reversed cone shift, wouldnt that be something, NHC says WNW though.Just out of curiosity, what would have to happen in order for her to suddenly decide to track up the coast, I imagine many many things that wont happen but just curious what they would be. If its way to hard to or impossible to even decipher then forget it.

When weatherwatchermom posted this link yesterday I said to myself "that flag ain"t gonna last too long..."
Check out the sound of that wind jman

Wonder if anyone booked this week
37 miles off the Coast of Cape Fear, North Carolina is a former Coast Guard tower that has been transformed into a bed and breakfast called the Frying Pan Tower. Working with the B&B owner and non profit, Teens for Oceans, the underwater webcams observe the marine ecosystem where Sharks, Barracuda and even an occasional Octopus slither past.Spectacular vistas abound in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
