re: Laura - President Trump visits Lake Charles, Louisiana for Hurricane Response Update

(no message)

I was thinking if I left Beaumont around 1-2, I would be able to avoid most of the incoming stuff. I can detour through ALexandria if needed

looking at the flight pattern of the plane in Laura

I'm intrigued by the couple of circles that the plane did to drop dropsondes #s 5 & 6

looking at the info from those drops... I would guess that was the plane looking for a low level center fix... though neither drop is identified as the "eye"

I think Rummy's under the impression that hurricanes only travel North.

No, just have a general understanding of what the worst part of the hurricane is.

I resemble that statement

The front right quadrant relative to forward motion is the worst.

For LA, that’s the NE.

For somewhere like the eastern coast of FL, that would be the NW quadrant.

I will say this.

People always put too much into the wind speed. frick that. To me it’s the rain and flooding. Also only a small area will generally feel the brunt. I hate when people bitch and say ohh that storm was a pussy because their neighborhood was spared. shite normally it’s a small area that really feels it and be happy it wasn’t your hood.
