ATL: IRENE - Remnants - Discussion

[Bocadude85]

Where do you hang out over there? We are pretty friendly with Vida over at Bootle Bay (about 10 minutes from West End)[/quote]


We have quite a few friends on Grand(near Walkers Cay)

It's completing another loop - hopefully (I hate when they do that - gives me the quivers):

P.S. Last evening Brian Norcross (TWC) mentioned that the trough had set up a bit more to the west - it'd be terrible if this hurricane fooled everyone and headed this way...

People need to stop focusing so much on the USA imo. A wobble to the west or sw matters for parts of the Bahamas. Comments like it still has plenty of time to turn north, obvoiusly is being referred for the US. How would you feel if it makes wobble to the west and you are in the bahamas (closer to the storm)? Exactly.

Hey Admins....

I see the word "fish" being tossed around a lot today. Please remind all that ever since her jump to tropical storm, Hurricane Irene has never been a "fish". Ask countless Puerto Ricans who have already faced her wrath or Bahamians who are either experiencing, or are currently experiencing this Category 3 monster.

Just because she has YET to make any CONUS impact doesn't make Irene a "fish" and calling her such really disrespects countless islanders.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, many members here, sometimes I am included; tend to think only in terms of the CONUS so if a storm avoids hitting the CONUS, especially a recurve to the East; we toss around the word "fish".

I really don't chalk it up to being insensitive or not caring about those in The Islands.
I just think that we just think in terms of the country we live in.

they can hang around and cover the record highs coming this weekend for the east coast of Florida, unusual for us to see mid to upper 90s in the forecast

I long for the cool mid 90s. We've hit 100+ every day this month (without any rain) and may well extend our streak into September.

Irene may yet make landfall as a hurricane on eastern Long Island or eastern Massachusetts. And if I lived anywhere in eastern NC or SC I'd be keeping a close eye on Irene until it was safely past.

Any more west wobbles (without an immediate correction to the north) brings the core of the storm through the center of the Bahamas. Nassau would be decimated.

It's nothing more than "discussion", lighten up.

[Frank2]

I wouldn't say these are wobbles - it's moving in a looping motion, and the most recent loop (as last night's) are very large, so that does make a difference for the individual islands in the Bahamas (eyewall versus no eyewall) and can make a difference for the weather here, too...

Its very significant. The areas it could affect are economic nerve centers of the world. We all know a hurricane could impact New York, DC. But its one of those 100 year events like Katrina was. So we are watching closely.


Disclosure. I trade stocks for a living. This would be very bad for your 401k

Bahamas is part of the British Empire Correct? Or is it US province like guam?

Bahamas is part of the british commonwealth like Australia or Canada, but I wpuldn't say that those countries are part of the British empire.

It's not really a matter of opinion. You're either independent or a colony, and the Bahamas is an independent nation.

Exactly. And there are people there. Im 100% they would care.

My elderly neighbor told me something last night that gave me pause. I was talking with him about Irene. He is in his 80s', and was a good friend of my grandparents whom I inherited the house from several years ago, he told me if Irene takes the track through Cap Cod and then NE through our area of Passamaquoddy Bay at or near high tide (like the mets have seen saying) he'll be leaving Sunday to stay with family 50 miles inland. He told me unless you've been through storms like Edna 1954, Gerda 1969 or The Groundhog Day Gale of 1976 in his words 'you can't imagine what it can do'. He told me, as my grandparents had, that during those three systems the whole area flooded due to tidal flooding and the houses were on small "islands" for days. During Edna, the benchmark storm for this area, the ground floors also flooded. He went on to say storms like Bob were "nothing", in this area, compared to those earlier ones.

Taking yet another spin to the south, this time centered over Acklins Island.

That is some wobble there! Making a giant loop.

And thats matters more than lives? Thats still days away, and we dont even know how strong it will be by then. jeez.

[Frank2]

Yes, perhaps these large twisting wobbles are due to the LLC and MLC not being vertically aligned - perhaps one of the Pro Mets can explain this...

No your right. That came out wrong. I guess we are just concerned and there alot of nervous people out there. We wanna know how it will affect us.


I dont want to go offtopic anymore ill leave it here.
