  1. Just read this: Since records began in 1851, a category 4 or 5 hurricane has never made landfall in southwestern Louisiana or far southeast Texas. Even if you've ridden out strong hurricanes in the past, you're not going to want to ride out this one. Parts of southwest Louisiana and far southeast Texas will experience historic storm surge from Laura. Also keep in mind that Laura will be making landfall when it's dark. Even though the Saffir-Simpson scale is widely used to categorize hurricanes based on sustained wind speed, remember that it does have its limitations. Remember, Hurricane Katrina actually made landfall as a category 3 storm. There are many examples of hurricanes that were catastrophic but didn't rank as high on the Saffir-Simpson scale at/near landfall. That's why it's so important to assess the potential impacts of a hurricane on a storm-by-storm basis. With Laura, the storm surge will likely be the primary killer, and even those who have lived through powerful hurricanes in the past have likely never experienced anything like what's about to happen.
  2. Yeah, I know you didn't mean anything. I am usually in hibernation from this forum right now. But now it at the very least I am starting to like all 4 seasons more and more with the weather.
  3. I know. Sorry. This is a very first ever for me but again, I just missed the tracking that we didn't have in the winter months.
  4. Agreed. It is another 2020 extreme. I hope people are preparing down there.
  5. Looks like next week the heat will be on break at the very least good news. But heck this is not a hot summer.
  6. Looks like the line of Lake Effect Fake Rain is headed to Bubbler house. I am missing it to my west.
  7. Love it and now for my 2,000 post that I thought I would get there in February. :-(
  8. We got zilch last night when the radar looked so promising. Here is to another night.
  9. wow so that nice cell over Canderson dissipated before getting to me. Thanks Canderson.
  10. I'm not sure what the official total in Lebanon County was last night but we were rocking heavy rain here for a little while.
