Better watch out for that stuff off the Carolina coast - it's heading south and starting to look nasty....

Yes, Camille was far worse. I was about an hour away from Camille's devestation, and all we experienced was a thunderstorm. It's amazing.
I was right off of Franklin Avenue for Betsy. Looks like we were in the same area for that storm. I remember the neighbors' dog was on the roof of their house.
I hope to never experience anything like that again.

Where do I apply to get the job of "naming hurricanes"?
I would name them more appropriately, after some of the monster children I have known:
Blake
Hunter
Stetson (yes, really)
Cameron
Tyler
Ashley
Jerrica
Kaylee
Cindy (lol)

In fact, we should evacuate in May and not come back until October!

Well - we can hope it just dissipates - and what we are seeing now is an attempt to form that won't succeed....but, I sorta think otherwise.
Here's the latest picture of Bertha:
It's big!

And here is that "disturbance" off the coast of SC - which looks to me like the next Tropical storm in the making - but is nothing officially right now - just being "investigated":
(Big again - last one of these - good website over HERE.)

Ha ha! So, that's where the Bertha Butt reference in the old 45 record called Convention '72 by the group The Delegates came from!

Stetson? I presume they named him/her after the hat company? A Yankee version would be Susquehana.

I think that is a Tropical Depression.....if the recon info doesn't show it, I will be wrong though.....lol.
To: All
The blob off the SC coast is now officially as tropical depression and may strengthen to a tropical storm.
