Subtropics Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 The reason for my love of hurricanes is three-fold: 1. I love wind. Wind, for whatever reason, is my favorite thing to esperience and I haven't yet experienced true sustained 40+. This is a dream of mine. 2. I love duration events. Thunderstorms are over too quickly. 3. It is WARM during the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOfClimatology Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I hold this same view, but I had a bunch of people jump down my throat for saying that. We love weather so why would I not get excited for a true cane experience around here? More retorical than anything because the same people will tell me snow isn't "dangerous." I can't help it if hurricanes are my favorite weather event. How would the snow lovers feel if a bunch of people said OMG are you crazy don't root for 2 feet of snow with blizzard conditions!!! Some folks just have a fascination for frozen water droplets I guess. I'm certainly one of them, but a 6" storm isn't all that thrilling to me. Posters will call you out for rooting on a 'cane, but come the day it actually happens, they'll be in the boat with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Not exactly the nicest of beach days for Myrtle, Wilmington, Carolina Beach, etc. I suppose the one saving grace is that this is coming at the end of the typical rental week. Week long renters are either already there or will not be arriving until Saturday/Sunday when this thing is long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week long renters are either already there or will not be arriving until Saturday/Sunday when this thing is long gone. We typically go over to the eastern shore(bay side) on the 4th but this storm changed things. It would be too winds and rough to go fishing anyways so no loss. This one was neat to see pop right off the EC and not be a long track CV storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I imagine most week renters that are supposed to leave Saturday morning are getting out of dodge today. Hwy 12 is probably moving at a snails pace. I see that they ordered Ocracoke to be evacuated beginning at 5am today. The last ferry leaves at 5pm. Also see that Arthur is now progged to be a minimal Cat 2 for landfall.

Subtropics Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Family evacuated from ocean front home in Hatteras Island. No big deal, went right ahead and rented at Nags Head where there isn't a mandatory evac. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherCCB Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Tropical activity in the ITZ looks like it might pick up in the next month or so. Hopefully we can get one to come up the east coast. At least some remnants. Getting pretty dry in my neck of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I plucked the below picture from the Weather Forecasting ad Discussion forum tropical thread. I'm going to be in Hilton Head all next week, so I'd prefer 5 or 15 not come true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvantHiatus Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 18z GFS is a money setup for this area, shift the storm east or sharpen the front and you have Hazel part 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosj III Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 18z GFS is a money setup for this area, shift the storm east or sharpen the front and you have Hazel part 2.

StudentOfClimatology Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Except for the fact that it will make landfall as a category one instead of a category 4. My call: 170mph NC Landfall, forward speed of 60mph, track just to our west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvantHiatus Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Except for the fact that it will make landfall as a category one instead of a category 4. Persistent anti-cyclone over 96L, expecting at least one major this season anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
