Dude NBC Nightly News just spent a third of their broadcast covering it...no they didn't "forget"...It's just a bit of an unusual time where two huge events are happening at once.

2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season Tracking Thread
Maestrobjwa replied to WxWatcher007's topic in Mid Atlantic
Dang...so 95% power outages was them getting off easy, smh -
Ida: "Land? What land? I don't see any land!" But seriously folks are saying it's not really "land" because of all the marshes/wetlands and such...but I didn't know a hurricane could still feed off a just a half-wet environment!
-
Pew...will someone please throw out those "won't get there" posts from yesterday? They're stinkin' up the joint...lol

2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season Tracking Thread
Maestrobjwa replied to WxWatcher007's topic in Mid Atlantic
Probably woulda had to have tracked further east to start! (But then it would stayed south knowing our fortune, lol) -
There was a lot posts last night that were premature, smh
-
How would that even work anyway, lol Your dog's poop and pee would be blown in your face so fast it would sting, lol
-
That is incredible!! Gotta be the greatest camera in LA right now, lol

2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season Tracking Thread
Maestrobjwa replied to WxWatcher007's topic in Mid Atlantic
Someone in the other thread said it was a Samsung S20 Ultra...Samsung gonna get some great publicity off of this if that's true, lol -
You almost feel like it's gonna go completely under and still be running, lol
-
Heck of camera! But it's giving us great shots of what happens inside of a storm like this!
-
Looking at how this thing bombed out...and looking at the comments yesterday about Ida "sputtering" and "not gonna be as crazy as we thought"...I think it's a reminder for all of us: don't underestimate forecastes RI when a storm goes through bath water with few limiting features!
-
The hurricane category system is kinda wonky...it's like no difference between 150 & 157 yet it won't be a Category 5...but may as well be with the damage!
-
That is an insane coincidence...wow!
-
Did you just say "give or take a Cat?" Hahaha I'm just picturing a met giving a forecast..."Yeah so we got a hurricane about to hit us--gonna be 3...give or take a Cat" Lol
-
Now hang on...if this still ends up reaching a Cat 4...what hype would be faded? Has that not been the forecast? As @40/70 Benchmark alluded to...even intensification at the rate of the last several hours would still put us there!
-
Which would be exactly as forecast...which means it won't matter too much if we got there steadily or quickly!
-
Is it just me or do we get way too OCD about a hurricane's appearance sometimes?
-
Very true...I just think we need to show a little more grace in here (particularly to those who aren't intentionally trying to be unscientific)
-
Yeah but you were kinda harsh (I mean I know you're not known for softness, lol) It was just a mistake
-
I have an issue with the term "overhyped"...because it can't be hype if the worst is a legit possibility. If it doesn't happen, not anybody's fault for over-selling!
-
And wasn't strengthening right before landfall a theme last year too?
-
Dang! Of all the times for this to happen!
-
Not in Pokémon land...wind and flying type attacks are one in the same
-
And of course water beats Ground...so it didn't have a chance against the Flying/Water type that is Ida! Only the higher mountains, a Rock type, could've dented it! (this weather lecture brought to you by chief meteorologist Castform) P.S. Being unfamiliar with the generations after Black/White...I didn't even know what your avatar was, lol So...Raboot? Haha
