    And folks tell me there's no magic formula for prediction...lol Perhaps not for the other ENSO states, but for Nina? I mean 95-96 is the only outlier! I mean I guess there's enough chaos for something randomore to happen, but...ninas seem to be the most predictable around here...

    Oh dang Iooks like I went to bed an hour too early, lol

    Question: why did the precip max setup inland instead of more in the I-95 corridor? Does it have something to do with elevation? Or is it just the storm track?
  4. Maestrobjwa
    Yep that's the crux of it...I think many of us here have a truly divided mind over this (like the proverbial good angel/bad angel on the shoulder, lol)

    And that's terrible...see that's what you hate to hear. Not as tragic, but still kinda bad...last month lighting struck the steeple of the church where I just became Music Director...fire coulda burned down the whole church had it not been for someone, Praise God, being there at the right time (and it being next to a fire station). So in that instance, it's like...yeah ya love the weather but when bad things happen? Ya hate that! It's a strange psychology...
  6. Maestrobjwa
    The psychology doesn't make sense, but it is possible to feel both. It's like...you want no one to get hurt. But yet...you want that extreme weather too. Like when we got Snowmageddon...someone died walking in the street due to unplowed sidewalks. Did ya want that to happen? Of course not! It's awful. But were we happy with the legendary snow? Absolutely. Same with hurricanes...awesome to see powerful ones, yet awful to see the results. So the humanity feels for the victims of such and wishes no harm. But yet...something in the brain also wants the extremes for excitement too. So when that part of the brain/psyche doesn't get the extreme weather, there's disappointment. And yet you're happy nobody gets hurt. If I had a magic button I'd make it so you could have extreme yet no damage, lol

    Ya know, I had planned to disengage from here this fall/winter so I wouldn't have to see the typical nina screw jobs coming...but this beat me to it! Smh Ya know, no matter how well you know this region and it's tendencies, it still kinda hurts anyway...but so it goes. But still it's better not to see it beforehand!

    I just don't understand how this happens in the summer time with tropical...smh How do we STILL miss north and west...and this has nothing to do with elevation? Those folks up there get everything, summer AND winter. (although I'm gonna guess this is gonna be a flooding threat). It's like somebody put a bubble around us, smh (I mean sure you could see it as protective...that we don't get the bad things that come with flooding, but...still want some fun weather at the same time). La Nina screwing us early this year, apparently...north, west, east, smh
  9. Maestrobjwa
    Same folks that get all the snow...now get all the tropical...of course
  10. Maestrobjwa
    From a weenie perspective, yes...OF COURSE you'd love to see 6-8"! Tbh part of me doesn't like seeing that huge swath north of us...kinda feels too much like winter seeing that, lol
  11. Maestrobjwa
    Dude NBC Nightly News just spent a third of their broadcast covering it...no they didn't "forget"...It's just a bit of an unusual time where two huge events are happening at once.
  12. Maestrobjwa
    Dang...so 95% power outages was them getting off easy, smh
  13. Maestrobjwa
    Ida: "Land? What land? I don't see any land!" But seriously folks are saying it's not really "land" because of all the marshes/wetlands and such...but I didn't know a hurricane could still feed off a just a half-wet environment!
  14. Maestrobjwa
    Pew...will someone please throw out those "won't get there" posts from yesterday? They're stinkin' up the joint...lol
  15. Maestrobjwa
    Probably woulda had to have tracked further east to start! (But then it would stayed south knowing our fortune, lol)
  16. Maestrobjwa
    There was a lot posts last night that were premature, smh
  17. Maestrobjwa
    How would that even work anyway, lol Your dog's poop and pee would be blown in your face so fast it would sting, lol
  18. Maestrobjwa
    That is incredible!! Gotta be the greatest camera in LA right now, lol
  19. Maestrobjwa
    Someone in the other thread said it was a Samsung S20 Ultra...Samsung gonna get some great publicity off of this if that's true, lol
  20. Maestrobjwa
    You almost feel like it's gonna go completely under and still be running, lol
  21. Maestrobjwa
    Heck of camera! But it's giving us great shots of what happens inside of a storm like this!
  22. Maestrobjwa
    Looking at how this thing bombed out...and looking at the comments yesterday about Ida "sputtering" and "not gonna be as crazy as we thought"...I think it's a reminder for all of us: don't underestimate forecastes RI when a storm goes through bath water with few limiting features!
  23. Maestrobjwa
    The hurricane category system is kinda wonky...it's like no difference between 150 & 157 yet it won't be a Category 5...but may as well be with the damage!
  24. Maestrobjwa
    That is an insane coincidence...wow!
  25. Maestrobjwa
    Did you just say "give or take a Cat?" Hahaha I'm just picturing a met giving a forecast..."Yeah so we got a hurricane about to hit us--gonna be 3...give or take a Cat" Lol
