George BM Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Hurricane Idalia Advisory Number 32 11AM EDT Friday, August 25, 2023 Max Sustained Winds: 230mph, Gusts: 280mph Moving: NNW(345*) at 29mph Min Sea-Level Pressure: 832mb Idalia has taken advantage of the 35-36C SSTs off the southeastern US w/ limited shear and a moist environment available and has become an unprecedently catastrophic category 5. Idalia will race inland over the Carolinas and northwards over the Mid-Atlantic region through the day ahead of an advancing through coming out of the west and will blast into the interior northeast and southeastern Canada by late this evening. An unfathomable storm surge of upwards of 50 feet is expected along the North Carolina coast from Wilmington to Morehead City with a catastrophic surge up the Chesapeake Bay all the way up through Long Island, NY. Hurricane Warnings extend north through the Carolinas, Mid-Atlantic, northeast and into southeastern Canada and the Great Lakes. Rainfall will easily total 1 to 2 feet in these areas w/ localized amounts upwards of 3 feet in the Appalachians. Widespread hurricane-force winds will cause extreme wind damage through the warned area with extreme (115+mph winds) extending as far inland as places such as Toronto, Canada and Syracuse, NY. Satellite Image: 10:50AM EDT August 25, 2023 Them dastardly underwater volcanoes at it again. 5 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 It's incredibly frustrating that we can't get a stretch of actual warm weather to bring the pool temps up. Our 8&U practice starts at 6:00 pm, by which time most of the lanes are in shade, so the poor tinies are fully blue-lipped within 15 minutes of the start of practice! We ended Tuesday's practice 25 minutes early, and yesterday's 15 minutes early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, there's no trees left and most of the construction in the DMV ought to be able to handle 140 mph straight-line winds. Outer Banks are gone for good, but, hey, things happen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I just want to point out again the macro pattern- no clouds/clouds. I think going into the Winter it's one of those situations where we could have a 12-36" storm, or nothing at all, a snow drought. I think that we are creating a lot of tendency for a coastal storm, which started last Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Whatever that boom was about 10–15 minutes ago was really freaky. HearIng reports of a gas station explosion that registered as an earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Reading all kinds of theories, but the one that seems most plausible is a sonic boom caused by a meteor entering the atmosphere, which I guess would explain the reports coming from a roughly Manassas-Burke-DC-Bowie line.

CAPE Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Quote An authorized military drill caused a loud 'explosion' sound in the Washington D.C. area that shook houses and caused widespread panic. Authorities say the source of the loud boom at around 3.30pm Sunday was simply an F-16 fighter plane breaking the sound barrier during military drills over the Chesapeake Bay. The drills were apparently routine, and were not the result of any military emergency. At around the same time, the Federal Aviation Administration says, a Cessna aircraft crashed into a mountainous region of Virginia. The aircraft took off from Elizabethton, Tennessee and was on its way to Long Island New York. It is unclear if the two instances were related. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12158275/Explosion-heard-DC-shakes-ground-compared-earthquake-online.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 My son and I were outside playing tennis when we heard it. Thought it was a tanker explosion or a plane crashed. But what was weird was there was a gush of wind right after for like 20 seconds. No wind all day before. Boom. Then gush of wind. Then no wind for the rest of the day. I was thinking of those pressure waves after a bomb explodes. Wind is pushed outward, then rushes back in. Could a pressure wave at 30k feet reach the ground like that and causes gusts? No more wind after that. Light breeze for the rest of the day. So it had to be related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewell2188 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Listening to Staunton fire/rescue, rescue crews still have not reached the crash site by foot due to the terrain. Going to be a very sad and interesting story the next couple days. Another concerning thing about this is that the jet even made it in and through restricted air space. But I guess unlike 9/11 at least the F-16’s were scrambled in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you're serious, but I'm pretty sure it was quite a bit warmer last year during early-season practices, especially overnight. Temps in the 40s and 50s will cool a pool pretty quickly, especially if the air temps aren't getting at least well into the 70s with sun regularly. The kids (we're talking 8&Us here) were miserable. Blue lips, teeth chattering, shivering. It's one thing if you're in the sun and able to warm up a touch, but these kids are in a pool that's almost completely shaded by 5:30 pm, with water temps that couldn't have been higher than 67 or so and air temps at about 72 with a breeze. It was just too much for them. If we were talking 13-18s, then screw them - they can handle it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 There are STILL 167 inches of snow at Lake Tahoe! They are STILL ONLY in the low 60s in the daytime! I am sure Alta, Utah, and Mammoth Lakes are still Skiing it, Boarding it and Digging it! They are going to get BURIED ALIVE by snow in that Brobdingnagian El Nino that is still developing!
