    What was 00z showing?

    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.

    I probably did.

    The seasonal cicadas are really out in force this morning. Feels great.

    It's a tradition like no other.

    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.

    06z GFS takes Ida north into PA. Shunts the heavy rain up there. NPZ weeps.

    Yea Jack and Phillippe were discussing that.

    Was wondering why there was so little precip on the NW side then saw this thread. Wonder if this will impact rainfall forecasts inland?

    You know it'll hit anywhere but here. Probably will occur in the elevated terrain in the Laurel Highlands.

    Oh damn, I'm so owned. How will I ever recover from this?

    Nam is not to be used for tropical cyclone intensity forecasting.

    Less than 18. Clock is ticking.

    Don't feed the troll.

    Could be equipment failure.

    Good to know wrt antecedent size or the cyclone.

    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.

    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.

    Hospital refueling contracts are redundant. There shouldn't be a problem. The big issue is extended loss of clean, potable water. In a situation like that, you get water delivered in intervals of about 8,000 gallons and the delivery process is to last long enough for the hospital to depopulate.

    Beautiful combo. We fail on an I storm and it breaks down the NAO just in time for us to transition into autumn.

    FEMA USAR Task Forces are already being staged and their utility operations support headed down yesterday. FEMA didn't break on their hurricane response coordination during the 2017 and 2018 years...this storm won't break it.

    To be clear, I am not discounting the need for targeted evacuations, just the timing and location. Evacuations are costly both for the agencies supporting and the residents who relocate. Some businesses will not allow their employees to take unscheduled leave for something that, in their eyes may or may not happen. Thus, some of the most vulnerable people will roll the dice and not evacuate because they simply cannot afford to lose their jobs.
