snowfan Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 One of the bright sides of this is that we get lots of live studio coverage from LaRosa, Egger and Carfagno on the weather channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symblized Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 lots of hemming and hauling over 50 mile jumps from run to run I may have contributed by just posting a link to a snapshot map, so maybe I'll make it better by pointing out that models' margin of error are still somewhere north of 100 km this far away from the storm's closest passage to us.

lsukev Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 you guys should stop looking at the models if you arent going to interpret them usefully I like looking at models, though. I especially like that Marisa Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Some of the posts in the main forum live thread are funny. I've seen posts saying the east coast "lucked out" because Irene is not intense. There's also a certain poster who is acting like everything is working against this storm to maintain intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Actually no... it goes over OBX then jaunts NNE/NE cause it misses Cape May to the east Score one for the national meterological firm advising the Germantown Soccerplex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master of Disaster Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 32 calls from residents for sandbags today. I thank DC and Fairfax County for propagating that expectation. They issue 5 bags per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Disaster Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 are your arms starting to hurt from filling them? If I have to leave my office to fill a sand bag for residents, I am fine with that. Lets get it done. Probably the poorest trolling attempt from you in a few years BTW.

Master of Disaster Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 i would think very few need sandbags given the wind trajectory... sheeple. Agreed, and that's just the start. I didn't even mention the 10 calls for evacuation info and shelters. As a result of the calls, I think we will open 3 shelters for tomorrow.

ThePhotoGuy Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Mad Cheese posted a nice ewall graphic of the latest NAM run valid at 12z Sunday. Shows 40kt +10m wind over Baltimore, eastern HoCo, AA county and down to Wes-land. 900mb winds at 70kt+. That's TS sustained and gusts to hurricane force.
