Lady Di

First, my thoughts are with all of you in harms way.  Please stay safe and sensible. 

Second, I've been a member here for almost eight years. While I understand this is a banter thread, this is by far the worse thread (as well as the one in the tropical forum) that I've followed. The administrators and moderators should be ashamed to allow some of these posts to remain here. People are losing their property and I fear there will be fatalities. So all of you that feel the urge To post nonsense over this storm, grow up!!!!

I only see an hysterical poster.  Watch the weather channel next time. Stay safe. 

Currently having some thunder with a downpour.

Welp, I’ll be riding this thing out in Wilmington which looks to get a pretty awful hit.  I’m in a hotel which is built to withstand the hurricane but I hope I have something to come home to. 

Good luck.  It's a long duration awful hit, you may want to reconsider staying.  There's still time to leave.

Watching Isaac too, wonder if he'll go into the GOM.

You and me both!!!  OMG I must have had at least 2 or 3 streams going (different stations plus some of the storm chasers).  That's why I haven't crawled over to the Tropical forum yet because I am still trying to recover from following Harvey, Irma, and Maria last year!

I am really really hoping this doesn't happen with Florence.

I'm over there reading already.  She's a cat 4 there was a special advisory put out at noon.   Not looking good for NC.

That's right.  Harvey definitely was cut off from anything.  I streamed live TV in Houston for over a week, he was one nasty storm.

 I need a lesson on the dynamics of a system this size stalling?  My thinking is that it would have to be a huge high and a ridge to stall it.  The remainder of Gordon seemed to follow what typically occurs, spreading out, riding the ridge and or going counter clockwise around a hp system.

I packed lunch today, I'm not going out there!!

Checking in from western Lancaster county - sitting at 8.3" since Saturday. Just about 25 miles to my north the totals are now into double-digit range. Any additional rain is not needed and unwelcome. There are many, many road closures and water rescues ongoing. For those of you who have been lamenting the fact that the heaviest rains continued to miss you to the west the past couple of days...be careful what you wish for. It is not a good situation around here at all.

Hope the shift east gives Lancaster Co some relief.  Stay safe.

I've been in a training rain event several years ago, also with numerous water rescues and flooding in places never seen before, it's not fun at all.

Um, NO!  For same reasons already posted.
