What Are You Doing Right Now? (199 Viewers)

[Bjerknes]

There's supposed to be a state of emergency in MD but on the news they're saying it's going to stay east of us but it's still going to get windy around here? Is that right?

The local mets are blowing this thing off, but not for good reason. They are model-hugging far too much. All the major models have all trended more and more West over time, and if we don't get a more NNE hook soon, then Earl may hit Hatteras and hug the coastline, creating a path of destruction from the Outer Banks all the way up to Long Island. If this thing goes annular (perfect circular formation and strengthens to a Cat 5), it could jet off anywhere, including into the Chesapeake Bay area.

These local meteorologists are playing with fire here and not taking this situation seriously enough. But many of them did the same thing during the Winter storms. Guess they haven't learned.

If you're on the Eastern shore, I'd take precautions and have a plan in place.

Na, I'm in Frederick. I'm just a sucker for natural phenomena. I know it causes destruction and death but the force of nature is exciting to me

How far inland is in danger of being hit?

Just got back from the bar. Earl was the topic of discussion. Hurricane parties galore on the Shore, probably a bad idea.

They turned Vince into a drug addict and Ari has hit rock bottom. What's not to love?

I hope this thing goes ashore and comes our way.

How far inland is in danger of being hit?

Worst case scenario is that it comes into Cape Hatteras and rides the coastline North. That will send hurricane force winds 50 to 100 miles inland and tropical storm force winds 150 miles inland. Of course, the system will weaken over time over land, but it still should keep hurricane strength as it works its way up towards Massachusetts. This is assuming Earl makes landfall as a strong Cat 4 hurricane.

lol people actually do that?

You too, huh?

I guess you people forget that zidane played in the same league as Messi and still has not won more than Messi with his club. Messi is better than Zidane.

Things like this makes you lose hope in humanity.

 

[Enron]

Yep. People go to the hurricanes and party. Surfers will flock to Ocean City this weekend to get a taste of some mondo waves. Everyone else will be there just boozing. Doesn't help that the local Mets are giving clear forecasts for Sat-Mon, so folks are traveling up tomorrow and staying through the storm.

 

[Bjerknes]

Oh shit, wobble Westward in the last couple frames.

Some of these mets are gonna have a lot of fucking egg on their faces after this...

I heard even a few were telling their audience to not cancel their Maryland and Delaware beach plans over this. :wth:

 

[Enron]

You too, huh?

We need the rain.

 

[Zé Tahir]

We need the rain.

Do you have a farm?

 

[Enron]

Do you have a farm?

People wouldn't know what rain was if it weren't for the farms.

That sounds like it would be sick if it wasn't so stupid.

 

[Zé Tahir]

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

 

[Bjerknes]

The problem with this is because of the counter-clockwise flow pattern of a tropical cyclone, Earl is going to send in massive storm surge into the Chesapeake. Depending on the track, if it hugs the coast, this could turn out to be worse than Isabel.

Forgetaboutit.

If I didn't have to work I'd be at the beach tomorrow without a doubt. Head high sets with some 7 footers with a clean break. Can't get much better than that.
