Those both weren't hurricanes though.

 

Latest update shows a course headed straight for you. 75+ mph is called a baby storm but still something to be reckoned with. Wish you the best of luck... we need all of our Bills fans intact, the season is upon us.

Should have a fire season thread .... a couple miles from my house: 

 

For sure....I was thinking of posters who were in the line of fire.  I assume you are packed up and ready for the order.....hopefully it won't come.

 

That dry lightning storm last weekend was one of the wilder things I've seen.

Yeah, this time of year sucks. Never used to be like this

 

Nonsense.  We had a 75 degree day in North Carolina last week.  In August!  Climate change is a hoax!

Oh yeah, it was an amazing show. We went out wine tasting on Monday and watched the show as we tasted wine. More dry lightning for Sun-Tue. We're hosed. I'm thinking we're fine. We have acres upon acres of vineyards between the fire and our location. Vineyards are a good fire line. In other words, we're in denial. Unless things change dramatically, we'll be okay. Then again, I never thought we'd have a firestorm race thru our neighborhood and that happened (2017).

lol....stay safe

 

Seems like they should be able to contain the Pt Reyes fire reasonably soon, but we're getting enough smoke now to have to close up the doors/windows.  Hopefully no lightning strikes on Mt Tam next week.  ?

Both storms on track to hit Louisiana as hurricanes within a 48 hour period.

 

This is sooooo 2020.....good luck and stay safe to everyone in the path of these storms.

Yeah stay safe.....I have friends in Healdsburg off Chiquita Rd. in danger, and my Buffalo uncles live in Sebastapol. 

 

Saw this, this morning. As long as the lightning strikes don't create any more damage, they are SLOWLY managing this fire.

Whew getting some good gusts over here on Pine Island... tipped a banana that's probably a week or two from being ready over hopefully it'll hold out so we can prop it up

[T&C]

Monster in the gulf now, should become a Cat. 4 soon... 155 mph gusts as it is. That eye wall is pretty well defined.

 

[TBBills]

I hope EVERYONE has evacuated from this thing.

[NoSaint]

Yea this is going to probably be really bad for those in the path. Never wish it on anyone but glad it’s off course from the largest metro areas.

The fact that its moving so fast will hopefully keep it from strengthening too quickly as it approaches South Florida, however once it gets into the Gulf, all bets are off due to the fact that the Gulf waters are as warm as bathwater, which is like jet-fuel for these storms.

 

 

This is what I was afraid of....absolute worst-case scenario.

 

I hope everyone in the path has gotten the heck out of the way....there's no surviving 20 foot storm surge....unprecedented.

Seems like a lot of cars and good number of people just hanging out......shouldn't these people be heading for the hills by now?

TBH Galveston will have it easiest. The Wind will be on the backside so blowing out not on shore.

I thought they were in for a direct hit but was just watching the news and seems like it's going to be Port Arthur/Lake Charles in the direct line of fire.

This is a live feed so if anyone in the affected areas needs updates when the power goes out you can watch them on your phone...  a short cut so to say. Take care and the best of luck to all of you.

Storm hasn't even hit yet and already the coast is under water from some of the videos I am seeing.

Yeah, this is going to be a bad one... I feel horrible for those in the path, have lived through them enough times to know how they feel and will have to live for awhile afterwards. After the storm is a ***** road too. At the very least, this one is moving along at a fast clip so the damage can be swift and then done... no lingering.
