Another Hurricane
Whatever you did to prepare for Irene, don't take it down yet. There's another one, and last I heard, they're still tracking it.
Anyone care to join me in hoping it fizzles out?

If you are talking about Lee, it is heading towards Louisiana and is just a tropical storm at the moment.

Considering we are only beginning the hurricane season, I expect a few more either hurricanes or Tropical storms to hit the coast. It would be unusual if they didn't.
I tend to track hurricanes/tropical storms/depressions to see if they will track over the southern Caribbean islands where my parents boat is located.

Katia. For the East Coast people, that's the new one.

Katia's been out there a couple of days, but it's still so far out, they can't pin down its path completely. It does look, though, as if its headed to the east coast again.
As Cloud said, its that time of year. We were due for some hits.

Katia, keeps tracking West instead of swinging North like they think it is going to. So yes indeed, it looks like the East coast will get hit again towards the end of next week or into the following one. But not before T.S. Lee hits New Orleans.

Poor Louisianna is getting drowned by Lee. They're saying some areas may get as much as 20 inches of rain because it is moving so slow.
And its going to track up to the northeast. We've already been told to expect 2-6 inches of rain between Monday and Thursday.
It's a shame it didn't go into Texas. They've had a horrible drought this year. They could use the rain.

Only I don't think ANYone could use 10-15 inches of rain in one fall. No matter how much of a drought you have been in.
BTW: best of luck with this storm heading your way Becky.

Like UW said, I'm still prepared from Irene. I'm just afraid its going to screw up my son's football scrimmage Tuesday night and first game Thursday night.
When my older brothers played high school football, they only stopped or cancelled due to lightening. Today, the insurance companies hold the purse-strings and make them cancel if there's too much rain (I don't know what they consider too much rain).
My brothers used to tell stories od nearly drowning on the fields during pile ups because there was several inches of water there and worms everywhere.

Yeah, the freshman will be playing Thursday and the JV/Varsity Friday. The freshman have to attend the Varsity game because they have the joy of cleaning up the stadium afterwards.
It just seems things were so much simpler when we were kids.

They keep saying its going to turn north and stay out to sea. I have my doubts.
The flooding in Louisianna and Mississippi has been bad with Lee. They were saying one location had gotten 17 inches of rain.

I suspect Lee is what will push it out to sea, Becky. At least that is my hope for you and everyone else who was impacted by Irene.

I have a friend down in Nags Head NC that just had her house condemned due to damage from Irene. She had to move in wit her son and his family in Charlotte, NC for now.

Sorry to hear about your friend Becky. I hope she will be able to get some help to restore her home.

It was completely shoved off its foundation. They'll have to demolish it, then see if the foundation is still good enough to build on.
Some flooding in Pennsylvania so far. and at least another 12-24 hours more of rain. We've been in a lull the past two hours, but it won't last.
