It shouldn’t be too bad for me so it’s probably a good trial run. It is kind of funny though because I woke up this morning and turned on the weather channel. I was thinking, “I wonder where exactly Jim Cantore is?” Cantore is roughly a mile from my house. I was like, “f@!$” dude, you stay right there and protect my free place to stay when I come to New Orleans at all costs! I cant make an LSU game this year..just to many Bills game and one game at Notre Dame..but I coming nexy year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&C Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Not to say no one was affected would would be a lie but I'm glad that it didn't become much worse than it has, few lives were lost. From all I see now upriver flooding is the main threat. Weirdest tropical system I've seen in a long time. Elena did a loop de loop in Tampa bay years ago, that was the last bizarre one I've seen.

JohnC Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 @Kirby Jackson I hope you are doing well dealing with the rain and flooding. May I offer you a suggestion that you might not have considered to deal with your annual weather plight? Go to your boss and ask him/her if you could telecommute from Buffalo. You can easily handle your accounts in western NY with up to date tech gadgets and be able to watch Jim Cantore reporting from the bayou while you are safe and sound in western NY. With your luck you will look out your window in a historical winter snow storm and see the peripatetic weatherman hanging onto a lamp post while being bounced around by the ferocious winter wind and snow storm. How is your dog handling the stressful situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is your dog handling the stressful situation? This storm was a whole lotta nothing. I didn’t even lose DirecTV until the 4th set of the Men’s Final. I calmly clicked over to the Fire Stick and resumed my watching. I never lost power or anything. I’m mostly annoyed that I spent all of that money prepping and sat around most of the weekend while everyone else enjoyed themselves. No issues though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mother nature will kick your ass on her own schedule. When you don't prepare and assume the best you will get beat up by the vicious whims of the weather gods. Be humble and stay prepared. And don't forget to keep your Buffalo option open if need be to escape the turbulent perils of the bayou. Edited July 15, 2019 by JohnC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but when one has gotten hammered by hurricanes the last few years it matters. I was watching the opener against the Jets a couple of years ago while oak tree's went down in the back. That ***** took a year to get rid of there was so much of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 It's like living in Long Island when there is a snow storm forecasted for the weekend. Grocery stores with cashier lines all the way down the grocery aisles. Carts over full of water, candles, etc. Like it's never freaking snowed there. Went to Publix today, it was a freaking zoo. You'd think there has never been a tropical storm in this area before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I'm north of Orlando, and we are still not sure what to expect....very stressful times for the entire peninsula of Florida.(even those of us who are inland, like me). Two years ago, the remnants of the core of Irma passed right over my house, and we were without power for almost a week...the slow movement of this one is what is so concerning(flooding, prolonged exposure to high winds). This makes 4 consecutive years that a major hurricane will hit the state, yet on average 800 people a week move to the state....something has got to give.

T&C Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 If that blocking high in the Atlantic weakens just a bit or shifts more to the east there is a chance nobody gets a direct hit.

It's an f'ing golf course - get over it The shame is that in order for that tiny piece of universal karma to happen people in West Palm Beach and several other much less well off places will get destroyed as well and they won't have the resources to that the owner of mar-a-lago does and I'm pretty certain that the owner of mar-a-lago doesn't give a damn about them to help them either so it would be best if that didn't happen. So, yeah, hurricanes are bad and I don't want people's stuff destroyed or for them to die. I don't think the owner of mar-a-lago will be overly inconvenienced either way.
