Thing to watch for is lightning within the eyewall, that'd mean rapid intensification. Doesn't look like that is happening yet. https://twitter.com/bill_line/status/1431677989217964037?s=20

Meanwhile Hurricane Nora is moving up the west coast of Mexico. Should bring heavy rains to the Southwest US this next week. https://twitter.com/RochexRB27/status/1431680756657627137?s=20 https://twitter.com/NWSPhoenix/status/1431453811411800065?s=20

Thorn Wishes Talon posted:god dammit, does that mean California/Arizona draught is over? gently caress Heavy intense rains are the last thing you want after a drought, all the topsoil gets washed away and most of the water drains off into rivers instead of soaking into the ground. You want a steady slow rain over a longer period of time. This might be good for the reservoirs, but only if it falls upstream of them

You want a steady slow rain over a longer period of time. This might be good for the reservoirs, but only if it falls upstream of them Don't forget the horribly dangerous mudslides! Also, I can't help but feel like the infuriating narrative post-storm is going to be "why couldn't we evacuate people in the path of the storm the same way we evacuated the Afghans???" And of course, the answer is: "Because Americans would show up with boxes of poo poo and pets galore and not heed the directions given."

I-64 out of Hampton Roads is engineered to allow for two-way outbound travel if/when a Cat 3+ finally decides to bullseye Virginia Beach. There are other ways *into* New Orleans - make the interstates outbound only. BIG HEADLINE has issued a correction as of 20:20 on Aug 28, 2021 |

https://twitter.com/davidhammerWWL/status/1431663320663269376 btw this is just like the weather after katrina. if you rely on ac to get by in new orleans you're going to have a bad week if the power goes out.

Tell people to get out if they are anywhere near this, there is still time. This is worst looking storm since Katrina for southeast Louisiana. Will be worse than Gustav and isaac

This is just one (hurricane) weather model but gives you an idea of what the wind field is like, how large and how rapidly it weakens on land (friction).

So this is the 5 PM cone..however, as Eric notes, the storm has been tacking more east of the projected track all day so it may end up closer to N.O. than this track suggests. The recon planes are only just arriving now, so the 11 PM update will have better data. https://twitter.com/EricBurrisWESH/status/1431721407206002692?s=20

OK baizuo posted:Keep an eye on this if you're more towards Mobile/Pensacola I've already got my important stuff ready to go, but I guess I'll be filling up the ole duffle bag when I get off work. e: and my boss at my other job called me this morning and said a co-worker missed a couple of days last week and wanted to know if he could take my shift tomorrow. I'm in the 4-8" of rain range as it stands so I thought for a second and was like "uh, yeah." Chief McHeath has issued a correction as of 22:11 on Aug 28, 2021 |
