you have no idea about rivalries! Down in the south, between the SEC and the ACC.........

Anyway, I have a question about storm surge......
If you had property on the Gulf, (and I mean right on the gulf- ie. walk out the back door onto a deck, go down a ton of stairs, and you're on the beach) with a 20' storm surge and an expected wave height of 30'-40' ft, what are the chances of it still being there the day after tomarrow? (It is a new house, has hurricane windows, no shutters, but plywood up)

You stay safe, Jav.

Re: the storm surge/wave height question...

If that property is located in the northeast quadrant, right in the eyewall...unfortunately it's probably not going to be there much longer...all depends where it's located...

I mean they have the storm re-curving when that subtropical high is going to build back after the remmants of Ivan depart. When the remmants of Ivan are around it will create a rex block, I think that was metioned by Clark, this would slow everything down in the tropics in the area of Jeanne. Now the problem I have is that once Ivan exits there is going to be a slight re-curvature of Jeanne's track but I don't think it would go that north. Another possibility is that Mean Jean the wind and rain machine will continue it's westward course and go through Florida and not be touched by that ridge or trough in the north. It could go either way, but this year storms like Florida and don't recurve when their suppose too. I'm not one to critize the NHC as metioned by LI phil, I'm a mere weather hobbiest, "take it as a grain of salt."

I've been wondering about the land dodging thing. Ivan was so precise around those islands. Is it possible for the hurricane to just skirt around land in the US? How long and far could that last?




I have been wondering the same thing since Cuba. How many of us has had this in the back of our minds? Could be time for a Poll?

I think my reasoning is that the ETA has always had a left of track bias with winter storms, and it was supposed to be corrected. Maybe it did go farther west than most thought, but in my opinion, it was as wrong to the left as the GFS was to the right. The thing that disturbs me about the GFS is, its bias was commonly left of track also, so these last couple of storms have played havoc with my mental notes on biases.
There is an easy answer to this: No more storms. Every time I turn on TWC and see Stephanie Abrams being blown through the air (ok, a little dramatic), I think they must all be nuts. "Everyone else leave, let's set up here......"
Poor Jeff Morrow on vacation a couple of years ago on the outer banks, a storm comes, so they give him a camera and a mic.

How often do you see a forecast like this:

Persons in southern Mobile and Baldwin counties can expect hurricane force winds after 10 PM this evening and increasing to near 130 mph across the southern half of the County shortly after midnight. These hurricane force winds will spread inland through the late night and into the early morning hours. Landfall of extremely powerful Hurricane Ivan can be expected around 100 am over Dauphin Island.

--------------------
Another typical August:
Hurricane activity is increasing and the Red Sox are choking.

Dr Steve is now showing a sat loop with grid overlay. There is a definite curve to the NNE going on. Look out Orange Beach.

I was reading the forecast for Mobile and can you believe that they gave the temp and said it was going to be humid. Like that isn't enough having a hurricane landfall, they have to metion that the temps are going to be in the 80's with high humidity, why don't they issue a heat index warning (LOL).

TWC drives me nuts anymore. 3000 commercials an hour, and 30 minute shows about famous weather happenings. Who cares!? That's what the Discovery channel is for! Gimme my weather 24/7, even if it's not interesting. Both CNN and TWC made it big when that's ALL they did, not like what they do now.

(gets off soapbox)

Convective tail [Re: Keith234]
      #28053 - Wed Sep 15 2004 09:57 PM

If anyone has a link to the San Juan PR radar, it shows what I was talking about earlier-the convective tail. I didn't expect to see it right now in Jeanne, but it is there. The center of Jeanne is emerging over the Atlantic, but the convective tail is actually EAST of the island.

totally agree with you! I used to be addicted to TWC, but now I hardly watch it at all.
