We Could Talk About The Weather

^ I'll support that, take it seriously...

Predictive models are putting SC back on as a direct target. Then curling south before being pushed back out and traveling up the coast.

That's not good. That will just make it's devastation more widespread. The two best courses are 1) It stays out at sea and eventually diminishes as it moves northeast. 2) It makes landfall and rapidly downgrades, minimizing damage.

This thing's fixing to get really messy.

Be safe, all.

Model changed again. They keep dropping it further south. We'll see.

Well, that's not good news for people who live further south. :( But of course its bad anywhere it hits population.

It looks like we'll catch a serious break in central VA due to this. Some stiff winds Friday/Saturday, and a few inches of rain. The ground here is super-saturated, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the near TS force winds take down some trees. We are way over our normal rainfall here this year.

We are also supersaturated and things are also likely to fall over with the winds.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I wrote the above. With the ground and trees heavily laden with water even diminished winds can easily topple trees.

In just a couple months we'll be looking at the same weather maps but wondering which areas will be most affected by the blizzard.

Last I heard the hurricane is weakening and has expanding as it loosens up a bit. This could be both good and bad. Less tightly focused intensity could spell out less devastation and somewhat less danger due to lower winds, etc. On the other hand the wider coverage area could mean more widespread problems such as flooding...etc.
