Subtropics Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Love this time of year. August/Sep is looking to be epic (with fish? ). Seriously though, the pattern should lead storms to the US this year I think. Anyone chasing to the banks this year if something makes a pass?

AvantHiatus Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 but but but... SANDY Sandy was dirty rabble compared with 1938 and 1944 Hurricanes, storm surge appears to be equal tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi Cove Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Bring that puppy up the Chesapeake Bay please! Um, do you live within 300 yards of the bay? I do. So, not just "no" but F*CK NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropics Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'd like to see a major enter the chesapeake just once in my life. Imagine a Cat three enter the chesepeake and hit 90 degree water and right front quadrant the mall. One can only imagine how bad that would be.. Edit: Extrememly unlikely, but possible. Consider what would have been if Isabel had made her sharp northwest move about 100 miles northeast. That baby is making a beeline towards DC up the bay. An Isabel type pattern would make this scenario possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvantHiatus Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 since when do I live in NJ? There are not many viable hurricane analogs for a DC-area impact. Hazel and Isabel are probably the most severe, and also the 1933 Potomac Hurricane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1933_Chesapeake%E2%80%93Potomac_hurricane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane force winds in Swath from NC to DC, ranking as one of the most significant wind events ever in this area on "record", if we are to believe the stories. Sustained wind in DC hit 81 MPH.

WxUSAF Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 1769 was probably one of the most severe and legit hurricanes to affect the chesepeake bay region. It could maybe even be argued that DC is due.. although have to ask Mr. Livingston his opinion on that. @ "due" Haven't we been impacted by an ongoing TS or Hurricane in each of the last 3 years?

mappy Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Haven't we been impacted by an ongoing TS or Hurricane in each of the last 3 years? Yes, I believe so. Just because they were Hazel or Isabel, doesn't mean they were worthless. I was without power for 5 days after Irene... never lost it with Isabel. So what does that say?

Subtropics Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Haven't we been impacted by an ongoing TS or Hurricane in each of the last 3 years? We do live along a major body of water... That is like saying Dallas isn't due for a major twister because they have had a bunch of severe thunderstorms the past 3 severe seasons (example). I am talking about a significant wind event. SNE is even more "due". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been down this road before, Sandy was not a red meat tropical cyclone. It was a late season hybrid storm from hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
