August 22, 20206 yr I've been following these storms. It is rare for two storms to hit this closely at the same time. Last time it happened in the Gulf was in the 1930's (according to the Weather Channel). Stay safe @Sazerac and others in these storms' paths.
August 23, 20206 yr Author Well, projections for these storms are not good. I am evacuating today and going camping somewhere to the North, hopefully out of alligator country lol. Not sure of internet 'out there' so I encourage everybody to nurture their quits and stay focused. Will be back when I can. S
August 23, 20206 yr Stay safe, @Sazerac! We are still dealing with the aftermath of TS Isaias up here on the NE coast...can't imagine having to deal with 2 storms at same time!!!
August 26, 20206 yr Hurricane Laura is forecast to make landfall well west of New Orleans but it is a monster Category 4 storm with current maximum sustained winds of 140 mph with possible strengthening still forecast. This will be ugly. I hope all in her path do what they have to in order to be safe. https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2020-08-26-hurricane-laura-forecast-rapid-intensification-texas-louisiana?cm_ven=hp-slot-1 Edited August 26, 20206 yr by johnny5
August 26, 20206 yr Oh this sounds scarey ... We Brits had a storm yesterday ...and that was bad ..but nothing on this scale .... Stay safe folks ...
August 26, 20206 yr Hopefully everyone in dangers way has already evacuated, what a monster of a storm! 😞
August 26, 20206 yr Scary sh*t! Those winds, the storm surge and the rain volumes close to the eye wall - holy cow 😱 Can't imagine my house surviving that 😧
September 14, 20205 yr Just saw that hurricane Sally is headed toward Sally. Stay safe @Sazerac and all our other southerners in her path
September 14, 20205 yr I saw that as well on the news here. Geez, they haven't even had time to rebuild stuff after the last one 😞
September 14, 20205 yr Author I'm with a human friend and a dog friend in Vicksburg, Mississippi watching the 'S' storm. Hopefully, won't have to change my address or my name. Thank you all for your thoughts.
September 14, 20205 yr Hurricane Sally is looking like a real rainmaker. The forecasts have the remnants of Sally reaching Tennessee on Thursday. It's gonna be a wet one here on the Cumberland Plateau.
September 15, 20205 yr 20 hours ago, Boo said: The forecasts have the remnants of Sally reaching Tennessee on Thursday. It's gonna be a wet one here on the Cumberland Plateau. Now it looks like Sally is tracking a bit south of here. The folks down in Georgia and Alabama are going to get the lion's share of the rain on Thursday. Guess I'll put my waders back in the closet.
September 15, 20205 yr Author I'm home. Hopefully the last evacuation of the season and Mother Nature will be sending nice early rains to CA. Is 2020 over yet ? (asking for a friend)
