NorthArlington101 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Reports from my family that the Harris Teeter in Arlington is out (or low, possible exaggeration) of bottled water, milk, bread, and batteries) Rumors @ UVA are that the school is actively having meetings about possibly postponing classes later in the week. Hype is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hype is dumb away from the bay and atl coast. There is a near zero chance Flo is more disruptive than Isabel for most if not all of us. Flood prone areas inland could be in for some trouble I guess but mass power outage and destruction mania is absolutely silly imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourseasons Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Nats-Phillies game has been postponed despite no rain in the area. Apparently the problem is that the tarp wasn't on the field, it rained, and the dirt is unplayable even after the Phillies' grounds crew has been working on it for at least 3 hours. Even Bryce Harper was raking. The tarp is now ready to be put on once they dry the dirt out. They will try to play a traditional double-header tomorrow starting at 3:05. Good luck with that.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 The mass hysteria this storm is generating in central and southern Maryland is just mind-boggling. IMBY we had hurricane force wind gusts in March, nearly 6” of rain in less than 90 mins in August and nearly 7” of rain in one day in the July system. Maybe I’m turning into Eskimo Joe.

I should know, I was there personally. I am in south central Texas now, and I envy you all. You will get drowned in place by Florence, then you will get totally annihilated by a super frigid, super snowy winter, the Epic Winter of 2018-2019 in the Mid Atlantic. Florence is only the beginning. Florence will finish the job that the summer started. Wish I could be there to see it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourseasons Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Figures that on Monday the DC media went ape over hurricane coverage (Channel 9 was the worst offender), and today is pretending that didn't happen.

Mrs.J Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Did not want to banter up the Tropics thread so will do it here. I know there are some that are disappointed in the current forecast of MD not getting walloped with rain and wind. But I for one am liking the track more and more. My daughter is showing at the PG Equestrian Center on Saturday in the outdoor covered arena. And while they have said that they can and will if needed move all classes into the indoor it will make for an exceptionally long day. So as Equestrians show in the rain we can handle that and a bit of wind. I just don't want to get stuck down there with a kid, pony and no stall as we are trailering in. That being said I you need an activity for this weekend come and check out the MD Horse and Pony Show. My daughter will be showing in the afternoon.

mattie g Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Sister-in-law and her family “evacuated” from Summerville, SC to Hilton Head. Tough life. F*ck’s sake...we can’t get an ounce of help with our kids, but even when she has to evacuate she ends up being able to pawn the kids off with grandma.

I want it to stall over D.C. as a category 10 that has a 500 mile wide eyewall with a pressure so low that people's heads explode and 10,000 mph winds that suck everything into the stratosphere where any remaining survivors can suffocate. At least then we wouldn't have to suffer through this BS anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Currituck County NC (where I am at right now) cut off all alcohol sales yesterday at 7 a.m. It may run through Monday from what I understand. No problem at all here. I'm going back later to Woodbridge anyway and will return tomorrow with full provisions (including wife and dogs). We don't expect much more than 60 mile per hour winds and 4 to 6 inches of rain. Not a big deal. I was so surprised they cut off booze so quickly though.
