  1. Right under the northern part in Franklin Farm, two huge thunder claps woke me up and then there was just constant lightning (1 per second) and my whole family woke up. Have 2.80 inches of rain and the lightning is now stopping a bit. Whole family has said that they have never seen anything like it and the weird part is that there has been little thunder except if it is super loud. Anyways looks like the storm is just a taste of what's to come. That said there have been near constant spin ups so this shows how any storm even at night can be rotating in this environment, I really hope schools decide to not open today. Also the power has gone off and on three times.
  2. Luckily tomorrow I'll be in a school with no cell service and is under construction with half the hallways just being pipes and wires so there is no chance anything goes wrong.
  3. Looks to have a broken line of supercells hit tomorrow around 7pm there is a line before that is even more scattered in nature but with these scary looking cells as well, definitely will be something bad that happens to someone tomorrow but where is still to early to tell.
  4. After looking at the latest NAM run we can now pretty confidently say that a major precip event from this storm is looking more and more unlikely, so we should probably just shift to thinking about severe for this storm. Also we can always count on the northward trend within 48 hours on a storm that looks borderline for us tropical or winter.
  5. Discussion/OBS, made the other tropical storm thread of the season and thought I'd make this one as well. Banter is fine after I would like to post in my own thread. Keep complaining to a minimum. Happy forecasting and lets hope Ida does not end up like every snowstorm we've tracked this year.
  6. I used to love watching the weather channel, now I don't unless its winter and there is a storm. I would come home from school in 5th grade to weather underground (back when weatherunderground still was somewhat scientific and new) so excited to see the latest storms during the winter... never got those dark purples on the map though, always went to the north. Now I still like turning on weatherunderground if a storm is coming but its more of a memory/nostalgia thing, still can be ok to watch but not great for a main source of information.
  7. Did you mean sand drifts? If not you really are as old as Mappy thinks you are.
  8. Not only being an terribly awesome picture but we can continue to see clouds "peaking" and building more than before on the western eyewall. This once again shows that no this is not leveling off and that a CAT 5 before landfall is not impossible.
  9. Looks like a chainsaw, hard to imagine anything it heads into lives. Also the dark black on the eyewall continues to expand which shows strengthening.
  10. I think they are rated for a CAT 3 and no climate change? Don't know for sure but we do typically only build back things to prevent what happened (CAT 3) and not what could happen (this thing).
  11. Not to mention that they will be in the most dangerous spot for tornadoes as well being in the NE quad.
  12. The second I go to sleep this thing takes off.
  13. I have always found it difficult to "root" for hurricanes unless its a fish storm but in the end it does not matter what I think/want to happen the storm does what is does anyways. This is a reason why I like rooting a lot more for snowstorms.
  14. Constant lighting and thunder with a darkening sky to the north looked on radar and there appears to be some rotation on the storm heading my way.
  15. I ment to say that The photos probably are faked but Mistyped, oh well.
  16. Was he/she there for Katerina?
  17. Look, I went to that site and it is a conspiracy site but that is besides the point but for the last image it does look odd on the surface. Though we have no idea if 1. They did not photoshop the clouds there. 2. If there is an actual HARRP base there. 3. If we are even going to talk about HARRP we have to clear up it is not true, there is no way that this exists but even if it did how do we know that the station was on during that photo. As for actual explanations I am not a Met so this is just what I think, first judging the site I would have to think it is fake and two, that looks like a mountainous island which can cause odd cloud formations that spread out over time not unlike that picture.
  18. There are a lot more knowledgeable people on google than here (just in numbers) and google wanted you to see this site if you are here so I am sort of confused.
  19. Maximum Sustained Wind Overall (mph): 130 mphMaximum Sustained Wind at Landfall (mph): 120 mphPressure at Landfall (mb): 963 mbLandfall Location: Directly south of Franklin (the coast of Atchafalaya bay)
  20. The second that eyewall closes its off to the races. Though one thing that could cause problems it if we get a large eye versus a pinhole eye, currently it looks like it trying to make a pinhole style eye. With how the convection is wrapping around.
  21. It appears that the large blowup of convection over cuba was mainly orthographically enhanced which we suspected and now the IR does not look horribly impressive or horrible cant wait to see what this thing is when I wake up.
  22. Yeah, that why I think that a low end cat 1 would be the highest I would be willing to say is an acceptable idea and if the kids are older. I myself am still in high school and would like to case storms but that wont happen until I can drive and even then I am going for cat 1s or below until I am older because anything higher is just a bad idea unless you really know what you are doing.
