Thankfully I don’t have a granddaughter on the NC coast anymore, not that this thing is going to do that much.
You’re really not playing very nicely, you know..........
I took my toys and went home.
All good news for FReepers living and vacationing in NE this weekend.
“NOMAD Buoy 41002
Station 41002 went adrift on 12/04/2008 and the last report from its moored position was at 1842Z. The buoy has been recovered as of 04/01/2009. This buoy will be restored to service when it can be worked into the schedule. When the service date is known, it will be posted in the weekly maintenance report.”
Hmmmm, still missing
Advisory 12 is the last National Hurricane Center advisory on Danny.
Note that it is still gale force but not a tropical system.
Note also this caveat from the advisory:
LARGE SWELLS FROM THE EXTRATROPICAL LOW ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE DANGEROUS SURF CONDITIONS AND LIFE-THREATENING RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE U.S. EAST COAST DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. PLEASE CONSULT STATEMENTS ISSUED BY YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE FOR MORE DETAILS.
