It was. I wonder if it had anything to do with downsloping, though. Mag?

Not if you were in SWPA (Pittsburgh area). I took a PSU soccer team out there for a game in Pleasant Hills, and the gray drizzlies ended as I was coming down off the Laurels, and it was sunny and 86 out there during the afternoon...

True, but I don't know if anyone thought early on that she would do what she actually did.

Ouch... Good luck!

Where are you going? The wife and I have a Cape May NJ weekend booked for the 21st to the 23rd, so of course all eyes are glued to the models right now.

I'm sure if Sandy's final track was predicted 216 hours out, that it would have been considered a comical solution as well. When it comes to hurricanes (and I'm certainly not claiming to be an expert) I don't believe that any scenario is "off the table" until nowcasting time.

We rolled out at 11am. Rain wasn't too bad yet at that time.

It funny though. I can't even do a coastal location with a approaching tropical system right. It was supposed to get going (for what it was going to do) by this evening. What happens? He slows down and now tropical conditions might be here almost 24 hours later than originally thought...AFTER we leave for home.

Haha...I tried going in the water here in Ocean City and even knee deep it was trying to knock me off my feet.

Yup. Just saw that. We roll out of here at 11am Friday, but I'm sure I'll see some effects. I almost with we were staying until Saturday now...lol

Thanks much!

Thanks for info and the history! I never knew about the 1933 hurricane or what it did. Interesting!

Actually I wanted to know more about what general conditions are like in a tropical event (flooding, wind and bridge crossings, etc) in OC, not so much what Dorian's effect would be.

Well, at least you got answers. When I asked about Ocean City a couple days ago, all I got was crickets...

Thanks MAG! Next interest is the 21-23 timeframe when the wife and I do her birthday vacation in Cape May. The Atlantic basin has become quite active, so I'll be watching the tropics for the next few weeks.
