southernskimmer Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Weather nerd here. It’s weird to be in awe of this storm and completely terrified of it as a property owner in the bullseyse. I have been priveledged to be passed down what I have and if it goes, the memories were well worth it. Thankful to not be fearing for anybody’s life. Goodnight all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Di Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 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!!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods and others helping are doing this on a volunteer basis. We can't get everything all the time. And i've been here 10 years and the main thread is not all that bad. There were more problems last year and previous years with the terrible posting. Staff is trying and appreciates your feedback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasiluvsnow Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I have friends in Wilmington who stayed and if anyone thinks this storm is a nothing burger or if you are downplaying this calling it just a "rainstorm" you are out of your minds ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDIII Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 9 hours ago, hickory said: This Hurricane is a joke. People was like worse than Hazel and Fran what a joke.... I don't think this is trolling. I think this person is just being honest about his or impression of the storm. We all root for historic and anomolous events here. That's why we are here. It is what we do. The fact is, however, that whenever we get a significant weather event.. lives are lost. This is true for snow and tropical. Given the gravity of these situations, there is this unspoken edicit that we show by tempering our posts out of respect for those directly affected by the storm. People like Hickory don't understand this. They are "too honest". They want to see GOAT.. they think that everyone else wants to see GOAT and they don't understand why people would mask this desire. So you get posts like the above post.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSC97wxnut Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Close to landfall in Wilmington/Carolina Beach from the NorthEast. Has that ever happened before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you get posts like the above post.. Wilmington = strongest wind gusts in almost 60 years since 1960 ! The wind gusts hitting 92 miles per hour-----> "just a rainstorm" " no big deal " The people writing such things from the comfort of your warm dry beds are clueless. If the trees on your street are still all standing and not falling or landing on your houses and your street still has blacktop and it is not a river , if you still have power this morning and if your house is in the same condition now as when you went to sleep last night be thankful but please if nothing else stop posting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 if anyone has issues with posts, please report them. as H2O said, we can't always be around to clean up threads.

Stormpc Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 ILM gusted to 105. That's nasty. The Narrative on this thing is going to change 36 hours from now with all of the reports of severe inland and River flooding. That's the worst. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Many many people being interviewed saying they left shelters and returned home yesterday once the storm started getting downgraded. These same folks are saying this is the worst devastation they have ever seen and rescue efforts are non stop. This is not the NHC fault imo BUT I do think the old saffir Simpson scale needs to be retired. As a met community WE understand it and WE understand surge etc and how a Cat 1 can often be as devastating as a Cat 3-4 but Joe Public hears downgrade and assumes the all clear has been sounded. Just my $.02 irt to SS 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my $.02 irt to SS Fantastic post and I couldn’t agree more. Just look at S****. (I’m an nyc poster so I will not use its real name) I think surge should either have its own catagory or be included in the parameters. on another note I nailed the landfall location when I said Carolina Beach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Perhaps they should consider more than just maximum sustained winds in the future when classifying a storm that's in danger of making landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Clearly the one size fits all system of classification doesn't always work when you have storms with abnormally large wind fields, examples (Katrina and Florence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
