Tropical depression 9

Had to beat Andy to the punch. Lookout!

 

[SST55]

OH NOES! Heading straight for Tampa!

Would be a damn shame if it hit the Republican National Convention.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I'm not worried about this one at all -- it'll fall apart over Cuba.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Still to early to tell what it will do. It could go over Hispaniola or Cuba. It could fall apart for good or re-strengthen after landfall. It could go to the Gulf, Florida, or stay in the Atlantic.

 

[BobbyFord]

Hopefully it doesn't make it over to So. Cal

Charley showed everyone what a hurricane could do in the Gulf. If it hits Tampa for Ft. Myers the same way Charley did, Charley exploded from a weak 2 to a strong 4 (almost 5) in a few hours.

And Wilma, that hurricane went from a tropical storm to the strongest ever Cat 5 in 24 hours.

Bite Wang.

 

[Clutch]

This coming to So. Cal...well maybe Great Lakes

Looks like he's aiming right for Andy.

A lot can still change but the current track is not good, not for South Florida.

If it stays together over Cuba, there's no reason it can't become a Category Three or Category Four hurricane in a matter of hours.

Again, look up Hurricane Charley 2004.

I woke my kid up laughing so loud I may never look at a weather forecast the same.

Holy crap, that pic and wisecrack is too damn funny. It looks like me getting an infrared exam from a hot nurse.

Well it looks like it wants to come right up Hurricane alley into the Western Panhandle, got to check the oil in the generator.

 

[SST55]

A friend lives in Bonita Springs, he fully expects he'll be hit, maybe not bad but he's got his generater ready.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Isaac is up to 70 mph now.

 

[VaDirt]

Why's everyone freaked out? I mean, everyone loved Isaac!

 

[SST55]

 

[HoneyBadger]

Best case scenario looks like a strong-1 or cat 2 hurricane hitting. But those Gulf waters are very warm.

 

[HoneyBadger]

New Orleans better run and hide.

 

[Johali]

Three Hurricane tracking programs have the eye of Isaac as a cat 2 coming across my home on Perdido Key Fl. Wed. noonish.

Most of the models say NOLA direct hit Wednesday.

I was in NO after Katrina for disaster response. I hope we see nothing like the images we seen then.

I have lived through them for 68 years GP, one more should be a breeze. Its a large diameter storm so the models are from Panama City Beach To New Orleans. It'll hit wherever it hits.

 

[HoneyBadger]

The eye is becoming more defined.

 

[VaDirt]

Finally found how they really create these computer models.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Forecast models are pushing further and further west with each new update. I hope this ain't the next Katrina.

How far west??!
