Interesting note, if Hurricane Sally does make landfall in Alabama it will be the first hurricane to make landfall in Alabama since Hurricane Ivan in 2004.



That was a bad one, did lots of damage. I didn't realize that was the last one that made landfall in AL

Hurricane Ivan in 2004.

Ivan was a beast, took the only 2 slab homes away 2 doors from where I would stay.
Spent some hot days putting 2 places back together. What was the other old 'cane than did similar damage, anyone?

This. This is all I ever wanted. People were being shite on in the Laura thread (I wasn't one) for saying Laura could hit Vermillion (it was said that that would have been a giant miss 48 hours out). Nailed down was used plenty of times. In the case of Laura, it was nailed down. People in OB who thought this was nailed down to Grand Isle on Sunday night are having a pretty shitty time inside 48 hours from that


But it is about confidence, and that has nothing to do with the cone.

Vermillion parish wasn’t in play 48 hours out for Laura. Gulf Shores absolutely was for Sally, cone size be damned.

We lost power in Birmingham because of Ivan.

I parked my Surbaban in the front yard and hooked up the power inverter so we could watch TV for what seemed like a week.

Fun times

I do wonder though...shear and upwelling aside we still do see a steady pressure fall here. 979 now and at some point either the wind speeds or field will respond to it if this trend continues.

Judging by the radar, recon trends, and modeling I'd think we'll see increase of winds by the center. Max winds might not rise or just 5 mph but you're seeing the stronger winds showing up more near the core. The northern "eyewall" band is looking pretty salty right now.

Earlier when it was sloppier, it looked like it was going to just work more the windfield but this afternoon it looks a bit more ordered.

I got to live in Houma on an air mattress 3 months after Katrina. I hate these things...

Plus with Laura it was traveling north which gives you a pretty tight window of where it can probably hit and stayed pretty tight on that.

Since Sally was generally traveling west with a turn north at some point, much harder to predict the actual landing of that type of storm - at least that seems pretty evident to my uninformed self.

NHC cone was awful for Laura.

Sally will miss one single cone. That’s it. Y’all are making this a far bigger deal than it is.


The five day cone for Sally reached from Texas to the big bend of Florida. Russian and I could predict that close.
Seriously, Sally did not behave as predicted in a lot of ways. The NHC said it was a tough one. They were right.

Russian is just being Russian.

Weather is like the market.

Him and rds would be flush if there was a proper formula.

You stayed in a house for 36 days without electricity during the Summer?

Y’all have been bitching about the cone for the last thirty pages. Who said what and calling them out. It doesn’t matter.


Cone-bitching and ridiculing cone-bitchers is all part of the Hurricane thread process.
