Just a heads up...
at least this one doesn't look like jackson pollock predicted the weather. :roll:
Could be 50,000 very damp Republicans.
Hey, wow. We could get rain up here in NoVa outta the deal.

Interesting, there's a European model that shows the storm trending much to the west of FL. Time will tell!
Watch out for storms that begin with the letter "I."

great - we could use more rain up here (irony)Quote:

No, that track looks about right...Marci and I are coming down over labor day and the week after, so lots of rain and the caves blowing out again are right on schedule.
Mill Pond here we come. Again.
Well, I have to look at the bright side. Looks like I left Guantanamo Bay just in time!
I'll be heading to Orlando in 10 days
Is there a bad time to leave GITMO?Quote:

In all honesty I loved it there! $1.50 air fills and all the diving I could handle! I could leave work and drive straight to one of the beaches for some great shore diving.Quote:

We don't need any more rain here in SFL! The idiots in SFWM will dump a few billion gallons of water out of the Big O and damage the reefs...again. Gotta get that damn issue resolved with the everglades restoration.
As far as predicitons....NOAA has to make the broadest prediction to panic ....I mean warn as many people as possible so they err on the side of caution. Other agencies (like utilities and insurance companies) can focus on actual tracking to predict storm damage as opposed to worrying about making anybody with a 10% chance of getting a few gusts of wind rush out and buy all the water, gas, batteries in the state.
I hope this guy is wrong this time:

"A track into the eastern Gulf of Mexico now looks very likely on Monday and I do think that Isaac will make its final landfall on the Florida Panhandle between Fort Walton Beach and Panama City on Wednesday morning. It needs to be pointed out that the ocean heat content in the eastern Gulf of Mexico is quite high and significant intensification is quite possible. Should this occur, then a significant and formidable hurricane could be making landfall on the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday morning."
Ah gee ... I'm heading down on the 31st ... staying at the Hotel California, and planning to hit Ginnie, Peacock and probably Madison.Quote:

Doesn't look promising ...

I hope he is wrong. NOAA is still guesstimating a cat 1.Quote:

That's what we like. I'm arriving Sept. 6; have the Dive Outpost cottage.Quote:

As it is the flow in the river caves is up pretty significantly making it a very tiring swim in. However, if it tracks west then High Springs/Luraville area should be okay.Quote:

Bottom line is "Keep an eye" on the weather and use good judgment.

I tried to get a 6 month deployment to Honduras. The PA said he would go to Belize on breaks to dive.Quote:

It's going to have to shift REALLY west to affect my trip to Colorado on the 31st. :eleQuote:

Ths is what worries me. With everything saturated here, if we get a lot of wind, we are going to have a lot of trees down.Quote:

Right now the projected cone of uncertainty includes pretty much all of Florida, plus the entire coast of Mississippi and Alabama, plus the eastern edge of Louisiana. The eye could cross the coast anywhere in these areas, or it could track on a path such that any of these states, Florida included, is entirely unaffected, and the prediction would still be right.
For some reason I can't upload an image right now, I wanted to attach the current 5-day watch cone from the NHC for posterity's sake. The center track they show makes it look like the storm will probably hook right up into Pensacola some time Wednesday. That center track doesn't mean a whole lot so far in the future though. I'd put down a buck twenty against anybody's $1 that the eye will follow a path that falls somewhere in the cone, but just keep in mind that the distance from edge to edge at the Tuesday 2PM mark is pretty durned big, maybe 500 miles across.
Owing to a trip I have coming up in a couple of weeks, it is extremely important to me that this storm doesn't cause a ruckus in Cave Country-- I'm having to keep a firm grip on myself not to start worrying for no good reason.
In South Ga., we are still really short rainfall this year, There are ponds still dry that I have never seen dry before. This nearly every day afternoon rainfall we have been getting as of late is pretty typical I believe of a normal rainfall pattern. I think we have become somewhat used to the drought. While I do not wish high winds and damage on anyone, I'll take any water we can get.
