Exactly! Thank you. It absolutely drives me crazy when I read that nonsense on a weather board. The word “worry” is used in place of “Excited!” Cuz what they really mean, is they are tremendously excited that the storm could indeed in fact strengthen more on its way to landfall, and the amount of damage could be even more extreme. This is the real truth, but they use the word “worry” to mask that excitement, because they don’t want folks to say they are wishing destruction on people. This place would go bazurk if Ian could achieve Cat 5 status…it won’t, but if it did everybody here would be Giddy! Just saying.

Lol..ok thanks, now the post makes more sense. All the best to him.

Did flood? Or did not flood? If it flooded the area, what kind of reasoning is that? Lol.

Hmmm…..changes a foot perhaps.

18z is notorious for hiccups. I know most say that doesn’t happen anymore, but it sure seems to happen quite a bit. But it could be legit..0z will be telling.

Silly statement. Things(players) aren’t always(most times not) sampled correctly many days(4-5 days)out from an event. And as you close in on go time, the players start to take the field, and that’s when things start to change many times. This could be that happening, or it could just be a hiccup. 0z will shed more light on this.

Oh yes, for sure. Was just commenting on how the icon was going up the east coast…and the 18z Euro was heading that way too. But it could just be the 18z nonsense?

Icon may not be so out to lunch after all?

Good points Ray. But I’m thinking the same thing…dry air this far south???? Nobody saw that coming. I’m wondering if he’s gonna be one of those systems where he just can’t ever really take off? Has that feel to me currently. Which would be good news for the folks down in Fla.

This thing hasn’t been, nor is it currently impressive. It’s been forecast to do a lot of things…but for various reasons it can’t seem to put it all together. “Off to the races” has been expressed at least a few dozen times lol…and then he goes in reverse lmao. I guess we’ll see? But it would not surprise me in the least if he does not attain major Hurricane status.

I’m sure there is…he’s been struggling from the start.

They always do. Not a surprise.

Agree that some systems of the last few yrs seem to struggle longer early on(doubt it has anything to do with any AGW just my opinion). And this one is struggling too. Long way to go to see where and what this does. Modeling Will continue to Flip flop -flip flop a while more.

Is comical as you read through some posts saying how good he looked yesterday and Friday night, and how it should be a Hurricane soon, its gonna be off the to the races, etc etc…. Bottom line is he’s deteriorated and is struggling. The Euro is already more correct with the slow to develop idea. Toss the current GFS idea hard. Long way to go for Ian to become anything formidable in his current deteriorated state.

Seems that it has a long Long way to go to compare with the ‘38 Beast in SNE?

Hmmm..I guess we’ll see. Katrina weekend significantly…the thing was…it was a Monster cat 5, and weekend to a strong cat 3 on approach. Good thing that happened or N.O. wouldn’t exist.

Have a feeling this is gonna disappoint as far as pressure, and wind for you, compared to forecasts? hope I’m wrong? Maybe you get it good on the back side..?

Weather has a super sense of irony…don’t be surprised if this thing fails to deliver anything. Wound t be the first time.,

It won’t…Tampa never gets hit directly. But There ya go, I just jinxed it so you’ll get a thrashing there in Tampa. You’re welcome

Let’s see what the euro comes with in 90 minutes?

Everything is in play at this juncture…lots of moving parts that aren’t being sampled correctly yet.

Thank you. What other planet is that other guy on? Lol.

Huh? That makes no sense. Charley, Michael, Andrew..I think Katrina…shall we go on?

Yup. Nova Scotia will be sent back to the age of the Vikings…we get a breezy rainy day at best. Ahh we’ll take what we can get I guess.

Ya it’s a joke track for high end T.S. force winds…and zero chance of a bonafide Cane so nothing exciting there. But at this boring point..I’ll take a heavy rain nor’easter in a hot second, so bring that.
