I'm getting choked up just reading about what everyone was doing that day.

 

Absolutely heartbreaking!!

 

Have a tissue handy when you watch the video @ImpulseRed008 posted. The footage gets me every time.

 

Looks like Tropical Storm Olivia is weakening from wind shear and now wind speeds 60-65mph . This is good news for my Brother however the islands are still under a Tropical Storm Warning

 

I’m right there with you on that.

 

Yes it definitely does !!

 

Tim,
I follow this guy...

He is one of the more knowledgeable ones.
One scenario has the storm stalling and heading South.
Not good any way.

 

2 of these guys were at the Pentagon on 9/11 and both Navy Captains (Ret.). Actually they were fishing together on the Potomac and got the call right after. The one eating an apple is a Chaplain, at the time for the Coast Guard. Navy Chaplains serve the Navy, Coast Guard and Marines.

He didn't make it to SD last fall to hunt phez PBS did a show called We'll we meet again it aired back in February of this year. They flew him to NYC for the filming obviously whoever planned that wasn't a pheasant hunter. There is a segment about him and the Army chaplain. It is the segment named Heroes of 9/11. Army Times did a decent write up on it.

Guess better call my mother and sister in Raleigh tonight. Mom used to live in Fl. and has been through enough of them. I always had to take the ships out to sea, know they aren't any fun to ride in. Or repair the damage afterwards.

On a lighter note:

I remember Camille very well. Watching homes float down the river. And Chandler's barn until it hit a bridge and exploded into toothpicks. A neighbor had a baby girl during it all and they couldn't get to the hospital. They named her Camille.

 

The Euro model started a shift south during landfall. I saw the same deviation when Irma got closer to Florida. All the other plots are showing a different path. Not sure if this is an error or predictor. I’m really interested in the 8 o’clock update.

 

Nice Hunting Pic!!

 

Our local weather is in Stall Mode,they dont know much till it happens..

 

Powerful stuff, thanks for sharing.

 

me, too!!

hi Weesa. Yes, I got gas. Kids are good. Thanks

No change

 

Yup, I’ve been there. Last year, they thought the storm would hit the east side, then it entered on the west side of Florida and came up over us. The result was everyone from south Florida came north. Totally drained every resource along the way. The onslaught of people was worse than the storm. All because the storm plot kept changing.
The latest still shows the same plots, and the Euro model dropping south. I’m wondering if the 3 hour update cycle messes up the Euro models. Seems that happened last year. They were rock steady for a week and are now moving around.

Local owned grocery store located one mile from home has the best fried chicken and fried chicken livers. God help me when the wind is blowing to the east on my ride home from work....
