re: Hurricane Season - No Current Gulf Threats

I checked Vesselfinder and at least no ships are anywhere close. We don’t want any of this happening

It was barely a Cat 1 at landfall, possibly just at tropical storm strength.


Sigh......

What part of what he posted is not accurate??

EDIT: I know the storm did a lot of damage but what has always rubbed me the wrong way is how the northeast media labeled the storm "Super Storm Sandy" because they couldn't call it Hurricane Sandy as it came ashore because it wasn't a hurricane at that time. And if they called it Tropical Storm Sandy it would not have sounded dramatic enough for them especially since the storm hit the media capital of the U.S.

Hence they created a new term for the storm...the Super storm.

Does anyone else think how absurdly cool it is for them to determine wave heights from floor pressure sensors?

Makes you wonder what else they can do. The Atlanta and Pacific sonar nets themselves were impressive and that’s ~50-60 year old technology.

Considering the Navy knew immediately what happened when that submarine popped, I'd say there isn't much of significance out there that they miss.

I don’t watch those fear tactic, liberals. Watch Fox weather instead.

Ok. It still had massive impacts. Erosion, flooding, power outages, blizzard conditions in the appalachian mountains with 3 feet of snow.

And yet the Northeast had the "ME" arrogance to name it "SuperStorm" when in fact was just a Tropical Storm

Another buoy with 30 foot significant waves. Buoy is about 250 miles south of Cape Hatteras, NC and center is about 125 miles SE of the buoy.

GFS keeps wanting that bay of campeche nonsense too happen

frick all that

Nice find on the live feed.

The seas are currently 13 feet there with the center about 300 miles to the SE. Closest point of approach should be sometime this evening and waves should get a bit higher.

Well I said around the 20th but glad it went north.
