If it misses us it's a good thing, but I hope we get some badly-needed peripheral rain.
Things are so dry around here the cows are giving evaporated milk.

Hurricane Betsy, back in 1965, began going up the Atlantic coast, did a complete loopy-de-loop, then came back down to Miami, entered the Gulf of Mexico, and hit New Orleans. First hurricane I ever lived through. In those days, we didn’t evacuate. Thankfully, New Orleans didn’t experience the flooding that resulted from Katrina.
In the mid 1980s there was a storm called Elena that threatened the Gulf Coast, went west to Texas I believe, then came back and headed east and hugged the Gulf Coast of Louisiana for days. It wasn’t too strong of a storm if I recall correctly. Didn’t do any serious property damage to Louisiana.
Here in Jax we have fires going and its gray and smoky...we need the rain to put the fires , wet the brush and ground and get our water levels up!
Bring it on!
Looking at historic storm tracks, there have been a few to behave like that, but they eventually make a beeline for the southern Appalchians and stall out.
Was that the same year as Bonnie and Floyd ?
Amen! I’m in the same town as you. I’ve had a runny nose for months, if it’s not smoke it’s pollen. Can’t get a break.
I had to look it up but it looks like Bonnie was in ‘98 and Floyd in ‘99.
we’ve had our share of hurricaines, this town is ready for that...NOW we need torrential rains..the smoke and pollen is bad now, but if we don’t get rain, fires will be leaping across freeways again!
It seems Beryl formed from what was the remnants of that storm.
Alberto was last seen heading Northeast... So maybe when the cyclone reformed, it headed WSW...
If Beryl was formed from the remains of Alberto, it seems like this is a twofer storm -- two named storms from one area of disturbance (or whatever)...
But we are on the 'B's for named storms because Alberto was the first named storm of the season...
Yeah and we don’t need leaping flames. Bad stuff. City of Jax is tweeting and I just followed Cantore...may regret following Cantore. He is probably a high volume tweeter lol.

Prayers to anybody that gets whacked ............................................ FRegards
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Leave it to a dedicated Freepr to wade through all the storm sutff ( pun intented) so I don’t have to try to figure out 400 or more weather maps, listen to TV “updates” every 3 minutes, or see Drudge headlines” storm coming”!
You are succinct, to the point,and clear and yet focus on the impt stuff.I think Fox news should just contract with you!
Now , get ready for the 24-7 weather coverage with the guy standing in the rain and wind yelling
...”Yeah, its really coming down here, yeah, wow, the wind is now 3 miles an hour!”..ha.
(Just hadda say it. And I like your tagline! True dat!)
Jacksonville is getting bands and gusty winds... glad it’s not a strong storm. I was in Beaufort Sc for Hugo and a hurricane in the dark is not my #1 choice!
I like this page:
I am lightly live-blogging the conditions in Brunswick at our Canadian sister site- starting here:

And for those of you who remember me from old times I am infinitely better after the untimely death of Miss Emily. About a year ago the darkness lifted and I went over to the Island to look up the widow of an old friend & neighbor of mine. I guess we’re seeing each and as a bonus she gave me a job. too.
per nhc center about to move inland
My folks lived in Beaufort during Hugo. I moved to Charleston the spring afterwards. The immense tree damage was really shocking.
