We need the storm to come straight up the state and then STOP over N
Georgia.

The *dot* is over our house now. Being 50 miles north or Orlando is
shouldn't be too bad.

They keep telling us it could be a bad hurricane season because the North
Atlantic is warm this year and could feed a storm rather than weakening it.
I was down to the beach yesterday and the water was beautiful. I can
remember when your feet would go numb just standing in the stuff.

This is an interesting storm. I was just looking at Havana and Key
West radar - there appears to be a northerly wall building, but there
doens't seem to be any convection south and not a lot of feeder bands.
Looking at the individual cell tracks, there doesn't appear to be any
closure to the wall - low pressure, yeah, but no "eye" if you will.

I think, and being an amateur at this which means it's probably
bullfeathers, that the southerly wind shear at 30-40K feet was
stronger than they anticipated which is ripping the storm apart.

Fisher's Island Sound so I can get from great pictures from Watch
Hill. :>)

I fear as you do in your last line. Too much hype, not enough blow.

Yeah, a few inches of rain in the Lake Lanier affective area means
quite a lot to the lake, BUT, as of this morning, they are saying that
about half of the computer models now have it going out to sea
instead, and we may actually get.....nothing!
