[threekidspa]

One model shows a direct hit on H'burg. Cool....NOT!

[Conveyor Belt]

Haley Barbour just called me with an alarmist message about this storm... Oh, sh!t... get ready for a run on the grocery stores today! Why did he do that? I mean, I know why, but, c'mon, guys... this is going to panic people...

[Guru]

Barbi Bass says if the High Pressure system lingers over Oklahoma it could allow the depression to enter the Gulf and pick up strength. This scenario would not be the good part for us.
She says if the HP system slides on toward the Gulf it will make the depression jump back up into land somewhere along the Ms or Ala coast and just drop some rain.

[countrygirl]

Oh s#%t! Haley just called here too. Dadgumit. Guess I better at least go get some batteries.

This is just getting ridiculous to me. It's not even a tropical storm yet.

[Bahlk]

It's all right people...Haley hasn't called me yet so don't worry.

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

I will welcome some rain but that be it....

[CircusRide]

CB, what's the best site to go to follow this dude?

Thanks!

[BlueDogDemocrat]

oh lord, when will the gas whording begin?

[noway]

I like weatherunderground.com (http://www.weatherunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200793_model.html)

[fuzzis]

I think I see an excuse to join the MS family for some heavy drinking this weekend. :alchoholic:

:clap:

[amanda]

I so don't have time for this crap.

[Hermione]

I did fill up my car this morning. Shell was $2.59 at Lincoln Rd & 28th. I have pretty much everything else I need. Wish I could ship my mom out of state.

[Augustus McRae]

According the the weather "Dr." at the site to which No-Way referred me, we can look for it to "rain." Good preparation would be an umbrella, a rain coat if you're going to a ball game, and maybe make sure your wiper blades on the hoopty ain't wore out.

[jkspatty]

Just beautiful....I'm leaving for a cruise on Monday, from Mobile to Cozumel. First vacation in two years. I'm just AMAZED at my good luck:smt023

Katrina was already a hurricane when it passed over Florida and re-entered the gulf. This thing only has like thirty mile an hour winds. Even if it does come near us I doubt it will be more then a category 1.

Well, my problem is creating panic based on assumptions. If this was a category 1 hurricane, then yeah, tell people to get prepared. Even though, we've had several cat 1-3 hurricanes hit the coastline and do little damage. They have to realize that there is still Katrina panic out there and there will be until we have a few that do nothing in hurricane terms besides some strong winds and heavy rain.

If this thing was already a hurricane I'd be telling the wife to stock up on the canned food and water. But right now it's no bigger then a bad winter storm.

Please, Please let is just peter out......

[ComputerDude]

Please, Please let is just peter out......Even if it doesn't I doubt it'll get that big before turning and hitting land.

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

I will be glad to get rain everything is so dry lakes, ponds etc...
My yard and flowers like the rain water better than the city stuff anyway and so does my checkbook ha ha

You'll prolly be O.K. JK......Storm will make landfall somewhere by then......Happy cruising.

[RGDoherty]

Please, Please let is just peter out......


That probably will not happen.....the water in the Gulf is warmer and that's fuel for it....but like I said....Your cruise will prolly be safe.

[sidelinetolong]

There are still a lot of dead trees form Katrinia hanging around that will blow down in the next big wind. A lot of peole will prob have power outages.

So much for looking on the bright side...

[LipsofanAngel]

I'm hoping for good, strong rains so I can have an excuse to be lazy and stay in pjs all day and watch tv/movies. I think I will try to convence my roomate that it's gonna be BAD though... that way she won't have her 12 year old niece from out of town come stay with us for the weekend. I work with kids... I don't want them in my apt on the weekends too!!

[gonefishin]

No matter how bad the storm actually is there's going to be some issues in this area if it gains much strength. My understanding is that the gulf coast has a mandatory evacuation for storms with 35+mph winds. That means a huge influx of people will be heading north if this thing turns out to be a tropical storm.

[RGDoherty]

Latest Update from the Company Meteorologist:

"Disturbance #50 is currently strenghtening off the West Coast of Florida. A recon plane will be investigating this system later today. It could be upgraded to a depression or sub-tropical depression in the next 24 hours. Track models are in better agreement focusing a landfall threat over Southeast Louisiana or South Mississippi. Intensity models are slightly weaker with the system forcasting it to reach tropical storm status. Next name on the list is Jerry."

[dollfus46]

It's all right people...Haley hasn't called me yet so don't worry.

I called Haley, he noted my area code and hung up on me.

[dollfus46]

That's what Ray Nagan said.....

Heh heh heh . And kept on rollin' dem bones.

[EricStratton]

And note my safe location in northwest South Carolina.:smt023

If things get bad, I'm coming to your house.....I need beer (preferrably cold), peanut butter and jelly, and.......beer.....I like clean sheets too.....and I like my comforter folded down before I get in bed.....and I'll need you to sing me to sleep also.....Wake me up no later than noon.....

[dollfus46]

CB, what's the best site to go to follow this dude?

Thanks!
Try 30 degrees North and 90 degrees west, pack a picnic lunch and watch all the action.

[dollfus46]

oh lord, when will the gas whording begin?

I don't know but people in SC heard about it and now you can't find a Gal. of milk nor a loaf of bread anywhere. WTF? That' just what they do here.

[dollfus46]

I'll bet now you'll think twice before you piss ME off again.;)

[ComputerDude]

Well the Governor called us and gave us the warning that there's a possibility that maybe a storm could possibly kinda-sorta come our way.

[firefly]

I got that recorded message from Gov. Barber & I thought that it was some political cr@p so I hung up on him!:oops: I told my husband that when I found out just what that was all about(on the WDAM News) I said "Well, I guess that will teach me not to hang up on the Governor again!:ohnoes:

[countrygirl]

If your mom is like mine, she probably wouldn't leave...Old folks sure can be stubborn. I tried to take mine north where there was such nicities as drinkable water and electricity after Katrina and she wouldn't go.

[Imapepper]

Gee whiz. I missed out on a call. I guess not having a landline puts me in danger of not knowing about emergencies such as this. That is, if I lived under a rock and didn't have tv, radio, or MH Forum to rely on! :kekeke:

[Fish-Bait]

We need the rain. We are at a 8" defecit (sp?) When is it gonna get here?

[Fish-Bait]

You mean we need more doo-doo?

Get your head out' da' pooper!

[bpitt]

I like rainy days, there good for watching westerns and old war movies, plus other things I shouldn't have to mention.

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

We really need rain everything is so so dry...

[Fish-Bait]

The weather station boyz and girlz have been bored this year, so they're doing their best to talk up dis lil TD like a major event. We prolly get a lil rain, maybe. and maybe 20 MPH wind. :smt102

I think I am gonna fish right in the middle of it just for the helluvit.

[Augustus McRae]

"......I think it's goin' to rain today......"

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

10% chance of rain today
30% chance of rain late this evening
60% chance of rain both sat and sun

[bpitt]

Hey man, the fish bite during fronts, of course, you already know that.......

[Fish-Bait]

You just said that, Bait!

I was thinkin' bout it in the first one...I made up my mind now. So I am. Get it? I have nothin' to do really so I am makin' up useless crap so pay me no attention. I have tractors on my mind.....and bush hogs and front end loaders...

[Fish-Bait]

Go find Tommy Riley. He'll keep you occupied the rest of the day AND likely sell you a tractor!

Actually what needs to happen is Mrs. Fish-Bait needs to make me mad. Then I can take a few shots of bourbon and con someone into takin' me to the tractor place and I can buy me a new tractor. She can't move out. We ain't got any place to go!!!:smt102:bowrofl: It'll prolly take a year or two to blow over, but hell, I'll have a new tractor! (Hopefully):-D

I think my suggested tractor vendor may be able to offer you some well-founded counseling in those areas as well....

speaking of panic. the governor of LA declared a state of emergency. LOL!!! that is crazy to me!

[aaron]

All de policitians are covering dere arses and just to be in de news. Dis is funny.

That's pretty much it, but it also probably has to do with getting federal money.

[Augustus McRae]

Just talked to our good neighbor skrimp boat capt and he is hoping for clouds today...said de white shrimp will start to run early if we get cloud cover. We are looking foward to anutter guut night to watch de squaws trow nets. Elle May is a natural. Got some guut pics of her last night trowing perfect halos, bringing up skrimp on almost every cast. We tossed nets until midnight yesterday and start again today around 5pm.

De Red fishermen are still bringing in good catches of perfect size reds. You can catch all de bulls you want down here, but dey no lke to clean dem hogs so dey release dem and keep dose in de 4-6 lb range.

Today, is usually when many fishermen show up but de weather thang may be makin' som of dem skert to travel far to got chere. De locals tell be tings are just starting to get better, but if it gots any better, I coldn't handle it.


Have a good time, guys, and brang home some skrimps!

Good thing every web-based news outlet and all the news channels are covering it like it was a category 12 about to make landfall on all the states from Texas to Florida.

Fish-Bait, you gonna have to tone it down abit- I am at work, rotflmao and folks are starting to look at me funny!

If it rains too hard then my hubby will think I am faking it when I start crying to get out of operating the manual post-hole digger.

Me thinks they are delivering it as we speak- I ain't stupid...blond, but not stupid.

[Fish-Bait]

This sucker is gonna slam the coast and it's packin' 35 mph winds!!!!

We are gonna have little small areas of power outages. Try to stay indoors and watch re-runs or sports on the tube. If you have extra barrels laying around, put them under the edges of your roof and collect rainwater in case we have a drought next year. Make sure you have enough supplies on hand to get you through 24 hours. You'll need 2 aa batteries and 2 aaa batteries for your remote controls. 1 can of soup. 1 box of crackers. 1 litre of Crown Royal and 1 case of miller lite. Go to the store now and get some nice steaks and some potatoes. Invite your friends over if needed.:smt023 If you are a smoker make sure to get at least 4 packs of smokes...hurry, time is running out.

Just out of genuine curiosity, how much wind can a FEMA trailer withstand?

Prolly 60 -80..Campers around here made it through Katrina so I would think at least that much.

[Honey]

I know they can withstand about eighty-I got behind some going down the road. HA

[Fish-Bait]

I know they can withstand about eighty-I got behind some going down the road. HA

Yeah, but if you were standin' still on the side of the highway and it came by and you chucked a pot plant up at it I would believe you could do a little damage...heheee..I know a 2 x 4 would.
