Hurricane Earl

You love me and all my hippie whole-goodness.

I do I do.

But seriously, didn't they just say it may slam you all?

I think it still might. That's a hell of a curve it has to make to avoid us. Weather Channel said it is a strong 4 and could become a 5.

Again, glad I am up here. I'll just have blizzards to contend with!

I'll take rain. I have a boat.

LOL It's not even going to rain in Garner I bet!

So I've been stalking the National Weather Service...

And...my coworker as former Coast Guard.

The front from the west that is supposed to PUSH Earl out into sea has 16 hours to do it (earl is supposed to scuff the coast at 2am FRI). That front is still a ways off. Also, there is a High Pressure point to the north of us. High pressure rotates clockwise. If the front moves west, and the pressure point rotates clockwise, I don't see Earl getting pushed anywhere.

ALSO. The eye of the hurricane is 35 miles across. The hurricane ITSELF is 400 miles across. The eye is supposed to pass NC coast approximately 50 miles from shore. That leaves about 175 +/- miles of the hurricane to pass over land...westward.

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/rah/ You can see that even a tropical storm warning is as far inland is Kinston.

*I* think it's coming. It has a pretty ****ing sharp turn to make to avoid landfall.

Eh let it rain lol

I'm going fishing.

Fish bite better in the rain lol
Makes them think there is food at the surface!

Ya I don't think we'll be out on the boat if it's raining.

Go fishing in the Walmart seafood tank?

Ewwwwwwwww.

LOL I'm sure there is lots of stuff going on this weekend! Any fairs or anything cool locally?
