Wow .. that came up fast. Looks like
my family in New England are gonna feel
some of this guy.
Looks like Florida has dodged another bullet.
Why do you want everyone who is concerned about their lives and property to see that photo? Please find an adult and ask them what they would do in this situation. Your own judgment is impaired.
so, saturday in new york city probably won’t be looking too good, huh?
Are we seeing the beginning of a trend? It looks as though it’s going the way Bob went.
It’s too early to tell yet for the NE coast. Certainly worth watching.
i’ll flying back to NYC from chicago on sunday evening. hopefully everything will be back to normal by then.
It’s starting to look that way.
*******SIGH********
We really Don’t need any more rain..........
There goes my weekend...
I just saw a show on one of the science channels that talked about how primed NYC is for disaster if a hurricane ever hit. Long Island and N.J. form a perfect funnel to aim and concentrate a storm surge right into Manhattan.
Just lovely. I’m heading down to the Outer Banks for vacation on Saturday. *sigh*
you say that like it’s a bad thing
I put this thread into Extended News since the forecast uncertainty covers much of the East Coast. If watches/warnings come up, please go ahead and post the threads into Front Page

Was thinking along the same lines myself.
I never knew I would one day find myself praying for a hurricane to come into the Gulf coast of TX-—but we very badly need rain down here—especially in the heart of the state. Sometimes, if these storms hit just right, we will get plentiful rains from them in this area. I sure wish this would be one of those times.......
YIKES!!!!
Here on the Eastern Shore we just can’t handle anymore water. We haven’t had any rain since Sunday night/Monday morning, but everything is still “damp.” Oh don’t suppose things are much dryer on OBX either.
Thank you! You are the best! :o)
I totally sympathize with your need for rain.
Thank you for the ping. I didn’t know Danny was out there.
OK, I HAVE to ask, just to see what you say. Are you Nautical or Naughty?
yes
Oh Danny boy,
The pipes, the pipes are playin,
Across the glen and down the mountainside.
Start filling your sandbags...
Take it back!!!! No hurricanes for Texas!
“Oh don’t suppose things are much dryer on OBX either.”
SE VA and NC around OBX are swamped.
Here on the Carolina/VA line we are 4.5 inches over.
Bump to save my spot.
You will probably be fine with a little rain and wind. It all depends on where it comes ashore.
It will be rough surf. Last weekends storm caused high surf all up and down the east coast. Having a house on the Virginia shore has made me very watchful of these things.
Gee, thanks. LOL!!!!
I amy live close, but I don’t live THAT close to the coast.
It's FReeper tradition to post a photo of someone who shares the namesake with the hurricane.
Please find an adult and ask them what they would do in this situation.
I don't know, chuckle at it?
Your own judgment is impaired.
Uh, OK...
You mean you don’t like 10” in a week?
I’ve never seen the grass grow so fast. I mowed 3 times in 9 days.
Well done.
get that storm a “reality” show.
I’m sure it’s all swamped.
I haven’t checked lately about how over/under we are, but at least one of these storms over the past month dumped 10 inches on Chincoteague in about 36 or less hours.
A friend and I laughed at the local weather guy last night trying his best to find a central circulation point.
Guess they finally did. :)
Bump for later.
Hate to second that, but we really need the rain.
There must be a message in this.
Things haven’t dried out enough here to mow. Just when it seems like we are making headway, we get even more rain.
The picture of Banaduce was priceless....well played!
OH NO..................
