Double hurricane in the Gulf.

Whodah thunk.

According to NOAA records, this has only been recorded twice: June 18, 1959 and Sept. 5, 1933.
Looks like Gulfport and New Orleans are going to be in the pincher, between Mobile and Houston.

Little early to tell... this will be interesting... I don't know if one will effect the other... a point I have yet to see brought up... not saying it hasn't... I just have not heard / seen it.

Three day out rule is standard... but really it can change in 3 hours.

Hence the updates every three hours. heh
 

Night Scallywags.
 

OH BOY....the uncomfortable part is now. Not knowing how far to continue. By tomorrow afternoon I'll know if I have to grind it out and go nuclear in my hurricane prep. That means getting the family up the road and prepping the wood shop !! Just a morning left of official hurricane business then I can concentrate on the last minute stuff (a-holes, and elbows) of my own. Good night I'm exhausted.
 


Leave you with a recipe from an old friend of mine.

Nite folks!
 

Good morning Tnet
 

Morning.
 

Morning Rook.
 

Good morning ARC & rook. :coffee2:
 

So...

This storm "setup" is going to write a new chapter... IMO

Perhaps some of you may remember a post I made concerning my beliefs concerning storms and the predictions therein.

I said there was IMO the "X" factor.... which I feel overall is not considered... and I know why... for that factor exists mostly only in imagination... for it has never happened to be considered... OR it has been ruled out completely... also because the common belief / conjecture is it cannot or will not happen.

That factor that science and physics cannot see... cannot be factored in due to the fact it does not already exist as fact to be factored in.

This factor obviously would be rare and would skew the conventional thinking / prediction / mathematics end result.

This setup of 2 storms IS that X factor IMO.

Therefore... I am not confident of ANY tracks that are produced after a certain period... and that period... is yet to be determined... also IMO.

The "meeting" of 2 storms LIKE this... IMO... can possibly nullify current predicted paths and write completely new ones that cannot be foreseen due to this unique situation.

I am posting this to be "on record"... that the "computer weather crystal ball"... has a "flaw".. and always will have one until ALL possible scenarios and calculations that could possibly ever be... are considered.

In order to do this... the knowledge / data would have to exist to be already be known and factored in.

Since IMO... mankind's motto is "there is so much yet to be known"... And what I call "mother natures curve ball" IS reality... IS factual.

We are only in the learning stage of yet... this too.

Man has tried to predict the weather since of beginnings and we have gotten reallllly good at it.... but.... like I said... this ALL stems from what we DO know... not from what we don't.

:)

Now... thats out there. :P
 

Morning Anti.
 

Good morning ARC, Dave & Rook.

And ARC sometimes what our gut tells us about something is just as valid as what the experts have to say about it or even moreso.
 

Oh and PS... I think Weather announcers should keep their personal opinion(s) off the air... and only report what they absolutely know.

The media has always taken the "we are just reporting the facts" stance... and do not "take sides"... as to avoid "problems" or lose viewers etc etc etc.

EXCEPT when concerning the weather... where they drop this and many if not most report an opinion(s).

This is ok when a rain shower or overall day to day things are concerned.

BUT... when you are talking about a serious... potentially life altering event... then opinions should stay out of it and only factual data be transmitted.

Nothing worse than the watchers of a bad opinion becoming complacent after hearing some opinion based on premature data or "a hunch".
