They also tend to get elongated due to the steering forces that are usually taking them northward.



Yes this is a great point as well.

Has the area gotten rain a lot lately?


Eh. It rained yesterday a bit and this past weekend. But nothing torrential.


If you are talking about Richmond, according to Weather Underground, the city has received 12" of precipitation since the beginning of June. While this summer has been wet and the James River is a bit high, I don't know if the estimated rainfall from this storm really facilitated the closing of VCU, UR, and other colleges in the area.

I believe City and State public services remain open in Richmond, so I guess they aren't too concerned about the storm.

EDIT: Whoops, that total is 24" since the beginning of June. 12" was for the weather station in Dinwiddie County.

Flo is nearing her closest approach to buoy 41002. We will see what is really happening at the surface over the next few hours.

Somebody needs to call the Cajun navy and tell them to turn around.

Isaac surviving and turning for the Gulf is their only hope.

Yeah. It's going to be hard to support any higher winds in the advisory.

They must be here too. Suggesting it will be a Cat 2 at the next update got two downvotes.

Isaac is going to strengthen to a Cat 5, hit the entire state of Louisiana, move back to the gulf, strengthen to a Cat 6e then hit Houston and Dallas at the same time.

More like barely a tropical depression. It'll be weaker than 95L.
