Sugarloaf1989 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 He has a power-outage fetish. It is what it is It's funny because as I type this there is a special about the 1938 hurricane on the History Channel. As per Wikipedia: Impact The majority of the storm damage was from storm surge and wind. Damage is estimated at $6 billion (2004 US$),[9] making it among the most costly hurricanes to strike the U.S. mainland. It is estimated that if an identical hurricane struck today it would cause $39.2 billion (2005 USD) in damage.[10] Approximately 600 people died in the storm in New England, most in Rhode Island, and up to 100 people elsewhere in the path of the storm.[11] An additional 708 people were reported injured.[12] In total, 4,500 cottages, farms, and other homes were reported destroyed. An additional 25,000 homes were damaged. Other damages included 26,000 automobiles destroyed, and 20,000 electrical poles toppled. The hurricane also devastated the forests of the Northeast, knocking down an estimated 2 billion trees in New York and New England.[13] Freshwater flooding was minimal, however, as the quick passage of the storm decreased local rainfall totals, with only a few small areas receiving over 10 inches (250 mm).

Bostonseminole Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 As some of us thought everything shifting east today at 12z . Ukie curves it NE very near Fort Walton Beach and GGEM us now back to east coast of Florida. That Midwest trough has gotten stronger and is doing the dirty work still on track with my forecast for a E GOM hit, in the panhandle, I would be wrong in thinking it would re-emerge, but lets see.

Brian5671 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm simply hoping and hyping that we have a 1938 redux in SNE this year. It's simple . good luck with that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I am curious as to what the 6,000' + high mountains of Cuba that Isaac has to pass over will do to this fairly weak system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neweathereye Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 One has to wonder...midwest trough digging deeper, models trending more eastward then yesterday's Euro run into NO and signs of Issac are looming for an East Coast run instead of GOM landfall...Just saying..If Euro comes in this afternoon with a much bigger eastward and of course northward shift... Bing! Reality check for East Coast residents...this will most likely sound the alarm bells..not to mention its pretty much bath water out there in the Western Atlantic..with SST's running in the 80's right up to SNE.

I still think it's going to be a matter of timing with that trough. You can see it clearly on the WV. Just imagine the interaction between Isaac and the trough...it's one reason I think the models have been to the west or east of it. I called for a southern tip of the peninsula hit the other day and I'm going to stick with it though it does appear that it's probably going to be west of that but we'll see.

N.

ROOSTA Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I was thinking today about a storm off the Outer Banks. In reference to "expert analysis" From what I recall a huge trough was going to sweep it out to sea. One trough, then the second trough. The storm basically stayed stationary. Finally 7 days later after a 360 double loop a system strong enough to do the deed verified. Issac is going to do what it will do. Last time I checked there still is freedom of speech.
