re: Storm Tracking Thread: Post Tropical Storm Hermine

A bunch

Eta. I see it on previous page

On that map, is that where they are predicting landfall? I am not sure how to read the map. I thought it was a current storm position.

Yes that is a projected landfall.

Coukd be wildly inaccurate since the storm isn't developed yet, so don't freak out. But keep an eye out and begin some prep

I've gathered that this would make landfall around Wed AM, is that fair to say?

Can you imagine 90+ mph winds with all the piles of debris everywhere.

this along with the areas that still have water in ditches and ponds that haven't drained yet due to the backflow.

99L is approximately 1660 mile SE of Beaufort SC tracking WNW at 15 mph over the St Maarten, Barbuda, Anguilla et. al. .Convection is better organized this morning than yesterday despite the fact that 99L is pushing against a big slug of dry air. 99L remains challenged by aforementioned dry air and island topography of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola keeping intensity in check for at least 48 hours. Conditions become more favorable for 99L to rapidly intensify near the northern Bahamas and the coast of Florida. In our favor, a strong ridge of high pressure builds in over the US east coast that would “persuade” 99L or its named successor to remain a more westerly track into the GoMex, a la Hurricanes Andrew and Katrina, and if you recall that did not end well. Despite the lack of a well-defined center of circulation, the models have an eerily good near consensus on a westerly track in to the GoMex on Sunday.

So not Her-miney?

At least you can use homeowners to cover damages. No flood insurance? Go pull shingles off your roof and have a tree "accidentally" fall on your house.

Problem solved
