    I’m sorry you’re disappointed.

    Sigh.....

    I think we need to find a way to better account for freshwater flooding. Harvey was cat 4, but the winds are not what caused most of the problems.

    Sadly I agree. You know there are going to be people on the barrier islands that get inundated, and if it tracks down towards sc/ga that just further exsatribates the issues because they weren’t really fully expecting this.

    Floyd was a cat 2 on landfall..it killed 73 people in the US. Ike was a cat 2 at landfall, it killed 110 people in the us and did 30 billion in damage. Isabelle was a cat 2 and did 5.5 billion in damage and killed roughly 50 people. Stop downplaying it.

    It isn’t so much a group think tank as it is with frustration of the general public ALWAYS wanting to downplay these storms. I expect that for the average joe but not from someone on here. Even if this weakens to a cat 2, the surge potential is absolutely massive. So is the flooding potential. This isn’t a joke. It isn’t a time to sit there and criticize the media. I’d rather everyone be over agrresive if it means saving one life.

    I’ll say it again.... when I’m on a weather board and see people complain about storms being overhyped I just shake my head.
  8. KPITSnow
    Why is it that it is always the same couple of posters that try to downplay every Hurricane? In this case, I see no one calling for rapid intensification, but I see the same people that downplayed Irma and Harvey doing the same here. I know that “wishcasting” a cat 5 into your house is annoying (and frankly I don’t understand it) but so are all the posts saying this is overhyped and will not be that bad.

    He is the worst poster wherever he posts.

    I remember last year people downplaying Irma as it was heading towards Florida, and that storm killed 92 people In The US and did 50 billion in damage. People need to stop downplaying every threat. I rather that everything be overhyped and overprepared than people blow it off and be under prepared.

    And this is just going to sit and spin and plow water into the coast over a long period time which could potentially cause large issues. It is also a large storm with a big wind field and that can exasperate issues as well.

    Katrina was “only” a decaying cat 3. This is dangerous thinking.
  13. KPITSnow
    Can someone explain why sitting off the coast by 100 miles means it weakens? I remember Harvey last year absolutely crawling onto the coast and bombing out while it was just off shore?
  14. KPITSnow
    I get angry at this every time....especially on a weather board where people should know better and understand shifts do happen. It is is much better to inconvenience some people and be over prepared than have a catastrophic disaster and be under prepared.

    I’m very concerned. I have family in Charleston, and also sunset beach, NC. The ones in sunset beach don’t live in the barrier island, but they are maybe less than a mile from the sound. I know track is key. If it hits north of them, they are probably ok. If it hits near the nc/sc border, the ones in sunset beach are frankly screwed, and I doubt they will evacuate.

    So since this is going to be approaching at a rather odd angle for the area (more e to w than s to n) does that increase surge potential since it basically can work up a long fetch of surge?
  17. KPITSnow
    I’d imagine that a lot of creeks are going to hit their breaking point soon.
  18. KPITSnow
    Yeah. The ramifications of Gordon, then Florence coming through would be quite serious. Could easily be looking at a foot plus of rain if Florence dumps on us after Gordon.
  19. KPITSnow
    So, we are about to get crushed with possibly 5 inches of rain through Monday...then Florence could come in next week. I sincerely hope Florence misses our are because the effects of that could be catastrophic.

    I’m in Bellevue, and can’t figure why I have a severe thubderstorm warning.
  21. KPITSnow
    I think we may have had one of those “wet downburst” in Bellevue/westview this morning. A ton of tree damage and big limbs down. Very localized, but damage was extremely impressive.
  22. KPITSnow
    Surprisingly almost no lightning with those heavy showers west of the city, though the atmosphere probably was stabilized by the initial rain and it now being cloudy. It seems that that every day the severe storms have started to form directly over us then ramped up to our south and east. We we will probably see the watch canceled over our area in the next hour or two.
  23. KPITSnow
    Hah. I think your round of golf is pretty toast.
  24. KPITSnow
    Radar is exploding right now.
  25. KPITSnow
    Hey! Another two inch event!!! Maybe I should move to snow havens like Norfolk, Wilmington, nc, Charleston, Savannah, or birmingham to get a decent storm!!!!
