Hurricane Gustav

Looks like I'll be partying in Savannah next week!

Well effing eff eff! :angry:

I share your technically accurate assessment.

I'm not going to look at the Weather Channel, not going to look at any forcast - I'm doing NOTHING!!!

I'm so worn out over the last NON-storm, I'm not over that one yet!!!

They even tricked me with Jim Cantori in PCB - BAD Weather Channel - BAD!!!!!

Exactly what I thought!

This is what worries me and pisse$ me off about the weather channel. They hype EVERYTHING so much and make such a big deal out of everything that people will stop watching when they really should have. You stay safe sparklegrover, where else could I have pinks on such a nice porch?

And BB, that may be part of the problem from last time, too - I didn't have a single drop of any PInk liquid or any kind of liquid!!!

I will change that from now on - think I will have one for breakfast!!! Come on over!!!

I sure don't want Gustav to hit SoWal, but 1 model has New Orleans as a direct hit with a Cat 3 or higher. That would not be good.

Couldn't help but notice that too.

Gustav and the FLA panhandle

We're driving down on Sept. 5th for a week in Panama City Beach. Who has a guess that we're in the clear from Gustav?? We have our fingers crossed..

If it continues straight ahead, we will meet Gustav, but chances of that are very slim because hurricanes rarely go in a straight line.. It's going to hit on the Gulf Coast somewhere.......who knows....it's at least 10 days away from us.

TFT.....you are special

SG.I hate the music. Makes my heart race just to hear it:angry:

The title has changed because it is now a Hurricane!!!

Models are kind of murky right now on the long term path of Gustav once it clears Cuba. There are about 3-4 different weather events in play that will impact the ultimate path of the storm.

Keep checking the National Hurricane Center web site and we'll hopefully have a better idea of how the ridge that would keep Gustav to the South is going to set up or not set up by about late Thursday.

Heading for New Orleans................

Since Katrina was supposed to make landfall in Seagrove, I am not convinced we're in the clear yet.

IMO it's going to curve and whomp us!

At least we have the possiblity of real drama from hurricanes to rescue us from the contrived drama of our daily lives. What will we do with ourselves after hurricane season?

Mr. Sunspot always likes to make his predictions:

! Pack a bag ! :roll:

The current model runs show it moving faster after Friday. Looks to me like landfall would be early morning hours next Tuesday. Too early to say where.

I've been gardening and cleaning the house - that's like an engraved invitation to a hurricane, which is why I'm convinced it's coming here!

...my freezer is packed with steak, shrimp and fish--that means, "run for the hills!"

.

Because Gustav is weak and disorganized, and because there are many weather systems in the area that could push it around, my guess is that it'll wander quite a bit. I wouldn't change my plans. What the heck, a category 2 hurricane will give you some fun stories for the folks back home!

Pray our house insurance isn't canceled.

Weak and disorganized?
I don't think so.

"Gustav intensified from a tropical depression at 11 am yesterday to a Category 1 hurricane last night in just 16 hours, tying Hurricane Humberto's record--set just last year--for the fastest intensification from first advisory to a Category 1 hurricane.." Weather Underground/Tropical Jeff Masters

Aleo...you always get to the meat of the story!
