Glad I didn't take my shutters down
I really don't like the far out models for Maria. They're all showing the same exact curve toward the Carolina's and NE that we saw on the Irma models around this same time.
I'm getting a bad case of deja vu.
Maria is expected to remain in an environment of good moisture,
light shear, and warm sea surface temperatures for at least the
next 4 days. This should result in steady to rapid intensification.
The new intensity forecast is similar to the previous forecast in
calling for Maria to become a hurricane in 24 h and a major
hurricane in 72 h, and it lies at the upper edge of the intensity
guidance. However, rapid intensification is a distinct possibility,
and it would be no surprise if Maria got significantly stronger than
currently forecast.
C'mon manFrom the 11PM discussion:
Scary considering the forecast has Maria reaching 125mph.
It will probably be canceled.So... Mario is heading to Puerto Rico this week. My girlfriend & I have a trip planned there this Thursday. It's not looking too good right now.
Jesus fuck, give the islands a break.
lol calm down
I think people like Griss have every right to act the way they are. It's not like they're up in Delaware freaking out.
So the Euro model is on an absolutely terrifying path as if it has a bone to pick with the entire Caribbean. It has the dirty side hitting PR, then gutting the Eastern end of DR, then hooking West into the Turks, hitting the Bahamas with the clean side. Landfall in USA would be sometime around the 26th as the eye makes a direct hit on Myrtle Beach. Obligatory mention that there's no way to know what path it takes and where it ends up, but the route right now definitely seems like the worst case scenario for everyone involved.
No idea on the strength of this thing, but it's crazy just how massive in size these storms are getting. Harvey, Irma, Jose and now maybe Maria. Usually you get one storm of that size every couple of years, but four storms that massive is just terrifying.

Size and travel speed are what determines how long you get hit. Not the best metric considering Andrew was tiny and fast.The size of the storm doesn't necessarily indicate strength.
But, if the storm is strong, size means it impacts a much wider area.

What's not to get? Griss is in th path of the storm and was in it for Irma. No reason to tell them to clam down. If you're in the mid Atlantic and frantic the yes, chill right now.FrySquinting.gif
Hope you stay safe, Griss.

Still no Hurricane watch issued for PR. I would get prepared now if I were there.
It will be issued tonight at 8:00pm most likely. People are getting prepared already and water is getting scarce already in some places. The thing is that we weren't able to restock supplies fast enough from Irma. There are hardly enough portable generators already left anywhere around the west side of Puerto Rico.Still no Hurricane watch issued for PR. I would get prepared now if I were there.
Nah, not that, just wondering why Delaware got mentioned when as far as I know I'm the only active poster in here from there and I'm super relaxed =p
To be clear it was meant as a joke.
Parts of the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts are now in Tropical Storm watches for Jose.

Tropical Storm Watch: An announcement that tropical-storm conditions are possible within the specified area.
Hurricane Watch: An announcement that hurricane conditions are possible within the specified area.
Because outside preparedness activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, watches are issued 48 hours in advance of the anticipated onset of tropical-storm-force winds.
Action: During a watch, prepare your home and review your plan for evacuation in case a Hurricane or Tropical Storm Warning is issued. Listen closely to instructions from local officials.
Tropical Storm Warning: An announcement that tropical-storm conditions are expected within the specified area.
Hurricane Warning: An announcement that hurricane conditions are expected within the specified area.
Because outside preparedness activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, warnings are issued 36 hours in advance of the anticipated onset of tropical-storm-force winds.
Action: During a warning, complete storm preparations and immediately leave the threatened area if directed by local officials.
Extreme Wind Warning - Extreme sustained winds of a major hurricane (115 mph or greater), usually associated with the eyewall, are expected to begin within an hour.
Action: Take immediate shelter in the interior portion of a well-built structure.
There are some left up there but the lines are 8 hour+ long and the markups are freaking astronomical already.It may be worth a drive to San Juan. There's a lot of Home Depots there so surely there are some generators left on the island
We got lucky with Irma here in Puerto Rico, this one is looking like a direct hit.I have an aunt and uncle that rode out Irma ok in Puerto Rico. Here's hoping they do it again...
