MJW155 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Heh, you and I talked about this before... the fascination with having high end hurricanes pass over one's house would wear off quickly once power was lost for weeks, windows were blown in and basements were flooded. Exactly. Let's say Irene tells the models to piss off and hits S. Florida as a Cat 4. I lose power for 2 weeks. I have to deal w/ 95 degree temps in the day and 85 at night w/ high humidity. No thanks. And that's if my apartment building isn't destroyed. LOL. If it is, it's even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I love how we're talking about duck faces in a hurricane banter thread. Well, soon enough the weather will be for the ducks. I've had over a foot of rain in the past 10 days, so it's not going to be anything new lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida is a horrible place to live, isn't it? Trust me, after experiencing that earthquake today, I'd rather have more of those (provided they aren't of the destructive variety.)

stormitecture Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Is anyone afraid skyscrapers might blow over in NYC if the hurricane hits there? CitiGroup tower was actually at risk once upon a time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citigroup_Center For the next three months, a construction crew welded two-inch-thick steel plates over each of the skyscraper's 200 bolted joints during the night, after each work day, almost unknown to the general public. Six weeks into the work, a major storm (Hurricane Ella) was off Cape Hatteras and heading for New York. With New York City hours away from emergency evacuation, the reinforcement was only half-finished. Ella eventually turned eastward and veered out to sea, buying enough time for workers to permanently correct the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll go to the beach or fishing when it's 30 degrees up north and realize snow is overrated unless you are in the mountains or near the Great Lakes.

LVblizzard Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 My personal benchmark for a Hatteras/LI hit is 24N/75W. If it passes east of there, it's an eastern New England storm. If it passes west of there, it's following the NHC track up the coast. Bump this post in 5 days regardless of whether I'm right or wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'd like to move to Kansas so I can go storm chasing more than once every two years... Yeah the weather is pretty exciting and extreme there. I like extreme heat in the summer after a stormy spring. That rarely happens here-- last two summers have been the exception.

Ed Lizard Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Despite the slight shift of the models, the magnitude of the shift is decreasing, and I remain glass half full for a devastating (by their standards) Cat 1, even low end Cat 2 strike Eastern Long Island to Cape Cod.

Cypress Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think it's the "I nabbed this pic from a cheap porn site" look You do the duck face in your photo. It's a genre of shot where people think contorting their face makes them prettier. Usually because they have a complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
