About to go boom, pressure starting to drop

based on radar, probably about 1 hour from the eye moving back over the gulf

Just about to start crossing the island

pressure down to 997 on latest recon

Flying out this AM, Pilot said so bumps as we head out, might finally feel the effects of Henri on my way west.

Meh here, not much but a few passing showers and breezy.

  ...welcome to "weather forum-sphere" when it comes to anything tropical.

I've been staying sort of clear this morning.   I may drive-bye pot shot some statements to occasionally, just to keep the rage smoldering - haha...

But seriously, going all the way back to Wright Weather... then Eastern, in since over the last 10 years in this social media, who knows why but tropical weather monitoring always tended to conjure bad behavior across the spectrum of "internet congeniality" - this latter aspect is completely escaping inside of 10 pages of content, most typically.   I credit ours for remaining more civil?  But that is probably owing to the fact that there isn't as much foot traffic in a "New England Tropical" anything, for obvious reasons. 

 

yeah, I get that I guess.  Even this is kind of cool, tropical rains with rotating bands, 40-50mph gusts, I'm cool with that.

Folks are frustrated, tracking a weak nor'easter for days that won't be memorable. After so much hope .  Understandable

Which direction is landfall trending?

likely

no change still at 75mph at 8 pm

would be funny if after all this discussion, I lose power for 3 days.. luckily flying out Monday AM

I can't remember the last time my power went out

yeah, I lost it for 30 minutes during Sandy, in 10 years that is about it.. glad I don't have to worry about that.

Prolonged power outages are a pretty huge deal tbh. Not the structural damage that flooding is... But a huge issue nonetheless. 

yeah, they both suck
