  1. Two redundant power feeds were installed post Katrina as well as a power plant. They lost everything.
  2. John Hope would always talk about that on TWC back in the day.
  3. Looks like Ida hit during a full moon after all.
  4. IIRC, that report turned out to be unsubstantiated and was retracted.
  5. According to the 2020 census, 50% of the US population now lives within 50 miles of the coastline. Bad decisions on zoning and growth aided by a population that doesn't care.
  6. The seasonal cicadas are really out in force this morning. Feels great.
  7. Really need this to dive south into EZF to DOV territory for us to have any chance, but it looks like this was the last shot we had for the season and our goose might be cooked.
  8. 06z GFS takes Ida north into PA. Shunts the heavy rain up there. NPZ weeps.
  9. Yea Jack and Phillippe were discussing that.
  10. Was wondering why there was so little precip on the NW side then saw this thread. Wonder if this will impact rainfall forecasts inland?
  11. You know it'll hit anywhere but here. Probably will occur in the elevated terrain in the Laurel Highlands.
  12. Oh damn, I'm so owned. How will I ever recover from this?
  13. Nam is not to be used for tropical cyclone intensity forecasting.
  14. Joelsh and potentially Joey Krastel (@NimbusStorms)
  15. Good to know wrt antecedent size or the cyclone.
  16. Going to go out on a limb and say Ida fights pockets of dry air that prevent it from achieving Cat 4 or 5 status. It's running out of time before it begins interacting with the continental airmass. I'm very interested to see if any buoys get close to the center tonight and see what the wave height and winds are. Would give us a clue as to the potential storm surge.
  17. JB consistently makes dubious posts and spins hyperbole. I'm still waiting for the 12" - 18" he promised me last winter in the NW Baltimore suburbs.
