Sir Charles [Re: firestar_1]
      #18751 - Tue Aug 10 2004 08:47 PM

It's funny, but not five minutes ago I sent a PM to JK and I used the phrase "Sir Charles." (basketball fan?)

I, too, am not liking the possibilities. Moving at close to 25 mph, surviving the graveyard and STRENGTHENING! The entire GOM, and especially the FLA gulf coast better have their prep kits ready. Don't want to wishcast (quite the contrary) or storm monger, but this could have some serious consequences, and sooner rather than later.

If this puppy gets into the bathtub a/k/a the GOM, and slows down...yeesh.

It's still way to early, particularly when Charley isn't even a hurricane (yet), but all y'all better have your kits ready and your car gassed up.

OK Colleen, I know a shot at me when I see it!!! But this is dejavu all over again! Yes charles is getting his act together, but when and if does he turn. Closely observe the Dvorak. He is not going to cross the eastern portion of Cuba. He actually may strike Jamaica, or at least skirt the north coast of the island. Let's see if he slows before Jamaica....but I doubt it. NHC gives his forward speed, then say this general motion will continue for the next 24 hours.....that was 12 hours ago. Hard to say where he will end up. We will wait for another model run or two to get some validation on track concensus/divergence. Anyhow, I have to go off to fantasy football draft at 10:00!!! It's getting too late for me to be up at midnite! But I guess I'll be up anyhow!!!!!!

The newest GFDL has Charlie entering Florida as a 115 mph storm in the Bradenton/Sarasota area and traveling to Jacksonville. This all happens in 78 hours.

Whoa.

Lots of interesting discussions around the web today. Bastardi weighed in with an evening post noting that Bonnie was indeed splitting. A piece of the energy was being left behind (ala the circulation to the SW) while the main energy seems to be revving up again. He also isn't giving up on his endgame for Charley, though he acknowledged in post #2 that what the models and NHC are up to is legit. I threw in the towel long before he did. In order for Charley to have been a Mex/Tex threat, it would have had to slow down at some point so that the trof could pick up Bonnie and the ridge could redevelop (as in blocking high) over the Northern Gulf. With Charley still blazing WNW around 25mph, that's probably not going to happen. I like the NHC's idea with a second East Gulf threat.

Hard to say about intensity. Bonnnie is a mystery. She had everything going for her, and as usual, is flaring up again. She's been a PM storm from even back in her TD #2 days. At some point, you'd think that feedback is actually going to ignite something (or else it doesn't). Charlie's been looking like a potential bad boy for a couple of days. He stuck out like a sore thumb when approaching the islands. He's of tropical origin as well. He could turn out to be a beautiful sight before all is said and done. One of these days my kids will be old enough to fend for themselves and I'll be PM'ing some of you no-good suckers for a road-trip party. As always, my door is open to any CFHCers who need to blow out of town but don't want to go to West Virginia or northern Georgia.

Beginning tomorrow night, we could have what is a one in a million scenario - the possibility of 2 canes passing over the same general area within 72-96 hours. Ordiniarilly one is a TS and the other is a cane.

Dr. Lyons must've been half asleep when he tied his necktie today. I can't blame him - he's all excited about the tropics and I'm sure he was up all night.

Bonnie looks like she's dying. Charley scares me living in W Central Florida. I know it's hard to trust 5 day forecasts, but all the models are tightly clustered. Question is how far it varies.

charley.. when was the last time you saw such a round ball over cdo [Re: DroopGB31]
      #18763 - Tue Aug 10 2004 09:17 PM

when?

come on gang... you can do it?
when was the last time a storm was a perfect round ball expanding out... getting stronger so fast?

i want names

this is going to be a short post hank

keep seeing it cross cuba ..go thru keys, lower..at 11:30 angle whatever that is and slam into sw coast of florida, keep seeing it but every variation of degree of motion makes a big difference with this fast moving storm

simply speechless beyond that
look at track of japanese typhoon.. wild..

I saw the same thing on WeatherUnderground. Perhaps they're focusing resources on Charley- that discussion may take a while.

Odd to get a 2300 discussion at 2130. Many things could happen with Bonnie in this hour and a half.

You goof...did ya read my post? LOL...I said that I wanted to see more model runs before I believed that this is the track. I think we've worked together long enough to know that the NHC is usually correct and pretty darned close to their tracks.

The one thing I don't see happening right now is Charley being ripped to shreds.

Good luck on your Fantasy Football League.

Storm Surge Info - Tampa Bay [Re: EMS]
      #18772 - Tue Aug 10 2004 09:45 PM

Something for all to think about:

From the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council --

"Regional studies have quantified the potential impacts of a tropical storm or hurricane making landfall in the region and have highlighted the major concerns for evacuation, shelter and recovery operations. These facts are summarize below:

2) Due to the bathymetry and the configuration of the Bay, the storm surge heights for the Tampa Bay region are significantly higher than the national average (Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale). Surge heights within Tampa Bay can exceed 25-30 feet in a major hurricane strike. (Isadore warnings as a Cat 2 were 8 - 10 feet surges above mean high tide levels)

5) Most of the residents in Tampa Bay live in hurricane vulnerable areas. Based upon the 1992 Evacuation Study Update, the numbers of persons which would evacuate in the following storm scenarios are:

Category 1 911,950
Category 2 1,096,560
Category 3 1,336,630

6) For a major hurricane threat, the shelter demand in the region is estimated between 275,000 - 290,000 persons. The region has the capacity to shelter 218,000 (category 3) and 190,000 (category 5) - a deficit of 57,000 - 98,000 spaces!

7) The clearance times for the Tampa Bay region range from 8 - 17 hours* depending upon the county and strength/track of the storm threat. For major hurricanes, the clearance times
exceed the 12 hours the National Hurricane Center seeks to provide "confident" lead time.

8) If the three counties to the south of Tampa Bay also evacuate, clearance times will increase from minimum of 7.8 hours (category 1) to a maximum of 42.6 hours (category 5).
