Captain_Quint Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Looks like this is gonna linger over us for a while. Not real worried about the wind in Charleston, but the tide cycle lined up with this storm. Get ready for some major flooding upstate, then flowing down through the rivers. Nothing we haven't seen before! Boats been out all week. I've been hunting and day drinking all week.

shrader Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 My power went down for about two hours earlier today. There’s a great sign about a day ahead of any actual storm getting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in SE FL and go through hurricane scares every year at this time. The Weather Channel literally does not engage in honest reporting. It's all sensationalism designed to suck in viewers from areas not affected by the storm, which is most of the country obviously. There are a couple local meteorologists in my area who keep it real and are very good; you can size up a storm from them pretty accurately. Meanwhile TWC talks only doom and gloom. This storm is weakening and isn't going to be a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a CA kid though and hurricanes scare her for some reason. We actually did that in high school on the backside of hurricane Gloria. Headed out during the eye, drove around to check out the action and went to the beach. Surfers had a rare opportunity to have some fun in LI Sound. Good times in the days before weather hysteria took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they say this strom wont be as big, you lose viewers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a lot of rain will come and right by the coast the damage is probably bad, but the way they were talking was this was going to be one of the worst in history.

The next one is always the worst one in history. Just like the news it's about 20% fact, 40% opinion and 40% sensationalism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw enough of this storm that by hype alone I wasn't worried. Local weather said some winds but mostly rain. You see the hurricane weaken by the hour beginning Tuesday. They kept saying Sunday it would grow and it never did. When it didn't they kept hyping it. Water is sold out all over, gas stations are sold out... It's silly. It's about 170 miles away - not far regarding hurricanes and we have had no rain, barely any wind (just a breeze). Edit. The rain from Isaac on top of this will be the worst part.
