Is it just me, or is something goofy at Wunderground? As of 6:30AM, the models are still all showing the plots from 2:00 PM EDT yesterday.

I'm going to start Googling, but does anyone know another good source for the models?

Wanker storm!!!!!! We will get jack squat for surf from this system. Texas is overdue and we need some surf. Maybe this storm will go back into the gulf and give us some swell. Sorry Miss Kitty but when you evacuate you know what I want.:love::love::love:

Hopefully it will stay a just a tropical depression. Pray hard.

I have lived through tropical storms in our Seagrove house, no big deal, just lots of wind and rain. We never even lost power in those. We did have a lot of wind driven rain, the house moaned and groaned at about 2:00 a.m. when I was there by myself during one. :blink:

* Make sure everything outdoors is secure, garbage cans, furniture, anything that can get blown around.

* Watch windows and doors for wind driven rain intrusion.
(We had water come in around our third floor french doors that faced the gulf, we had those re-stripped and they are fine now.)

Hang on tight! It can be interesting.

Oh, just ask Bobby J, now is a grayt time to go look at property during/after an event to see what it does, you will know if it floods.

Post # 168 shows the models map being updated with the 8am EasternTime models.

From what I'm hearing, they are expecting the east/west lines of the models to drift farther south, and maybe sweep us on the coast. One model even shows it going over water in the Gulf, gaining strength, stalling south of Louisiana, then making a NW dart for Destin. :yikes: The weather looks lovely here, today, but don't wait around until the last minute to be planning.

As of right now, my new update is that it will pass north of Sowal by about 20-25 miles. There will be no re-entry over water, and the maximum sustained wind speeds you would see is around 30mph for a few hours around midnight on Saturday night. This is just the latest guesstimate but seems reasonable.
