• Hurricane Hermine to strike South East Coast
    52 replies, posted
It's expected to make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane tonight. [quote]Hermine's remnant low is also expected to hover off the Northeast seaboard this holiday weekend. For more details on what may happen in those regions, see this link. New tropical storm warnings were issued Thursday along the Southeast coast from Florida's First Coast to southern North Carolina. This means tropical storm-force winds (39 mph or higher) are expected within 36 hours. Tropical storm watches were also issued north of that to include the southern Outer Banks of North Carolina, meaning tropical storm-force winds are possible within the next 48 hours. Hurricane warnings continue for a swath of north Florida, extending inland to include the city of Tallahassee. This means hurricane-force winds (at least 74 mph) are expected for a period of time in the warned area. [B]According to Weather Underground's Dr. Jeff Masters, this is the first hurricane warning issued for any part of Florida since Hurricane Isaac four years ago.[/B][/quote] [url]https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/tropical-storm-hermine-hurricane-florida-southeast[/url] [url]https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/atlantic/2016/Tropical-Storm-Hermine[/url] [img]http://i.imgur.com/M1nyGad.gif[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/0HNyOC7.gif[/img] [quote]Unfortunately, there is still considerable uncertainty regarding where the system is when it gets trapped. In general, there are three scenarios: [B]Offshore[/B] The system is pulled significantly far off the Northeast seaboard before getting trapped. Potential impacts of this scenario: Mainly only high surf, rip currents, possibly some coastal flooding/beach erosion. Chance of this scenario: Still possible, but chance is diminishing [B]Coastal Hugger[/B] The system either bends back toward the coast after being trapped by the upper ridge offshore or has a track much closer to the Northeast Seaboard. Potential impacts of this scenario: Strong winds (mainly near the coast), significant coastal flooding over multiple high tide cycles, beach erosion (possibly significant), high surf, rip currents, some heavy rain Chance of this scenario: [B]Increasingly likely[/B] [B]Inland Track[/B] The system may track mainly inland, gradually slowing down. Potential impacts of this scenario: Heavy rain/flash flooding, strong winds (initially), high surf, some coastal flooding Chance of this scenario: Small chance[/quote] If it becomes a hurricane, it will be Florida's first Hurricane landfall in 11 years.
Uh oh. I hope I don't die. Looks like I'm a target for once, usually when most hurricanes strike I've been alright...
So the plant I work at is in the path. Looking at the forecast, the rain is going to start at 2AM, and end around 9PM, with the 30+mph winds starting at 8AM. They still haven't decided to shut the construction site down tomorrow.
People are going to die from this.
[QUOTE=Killer900;50984711]People are going to die from this.[/QUOTE] And the sad part is they really don't have to if you follow proper safety precautions. Especially for a Tropical storm/low Cat 1. Just be smart about it. Don't go surfing in a tropical storm.
Oh good! I'm stuck in my dorm in Jacksonville.
I live in Pensacola, looks like I should be expecting some rain tonight but not much else? Hope it doesn't end up veering over here.
It's a Category 1 Hurricane as of 30~ minutes ago.
Sonofabitch its coming for New York
At least it's not going inland. Last time a serious hurricane came inland in VA it loosened a lot of trees, so the next couple winters they fell down in way greater numbers. Don't need that shit again.

The road in front of my house is flooded and supposedly we are getting another surge later tonight. Also a tornado passed over but didn't touch down.
As a Quebecois who literally always have spectator seat on every single hurricanes that happens in North America because it dies the instant it gets close to Canada, godspeed to you brothers from the south. Don't forget to make a flip for the 10.
My area is a fucking wall when it comes to storms passing through, but it likely won't touch my place. too inland, but I am worried about my family who lives more towards the coast. I sure hope things go well for them...
missed an opportunity to call it Hermione the wingardium leviosa-ing hurricane
Hopefully the damage will be minimal for everyone involved, it got pretty bad before here with hurricane Irene.
The pandhandle coast will be getting hit pretty hard here shortly. Could begin to see 80-85 mph at Landfall.
My sister just started classes in Tallahassee this week, and she's getting directly hit by a hurricane not even a week after moving out.

I'm right on the fuckin coast here in Florida. I'm gonna die.
Jax here, got my mre's ready
Well, fuck. My college (in downtown Charleston, SC) is right smack friggin' dab in the center path of the storm. Wish me luck, fellas. (Though on a more serious note, best of luck to anyone in the path of Hermine this week.)
Flying to Orlando from Gatwick on Tuesday so hopefully it'll all be gone by then. Thank god I didn't book my flights for today like I originally was planning.

Since then we had to make our campus "storm ready" which means all faculty have their important shit on laptops and external drives. If campus is threatened ALL students report to class at the main campus (Texas A&M) about 200 miles north with minimal down time. That's what they did for Ike, but they've refined the process now as that was just out of necessity. So basically my whole school can get destroyed and I still gotta go to class.
[QUOTE=Native Hunter;50985195]Sonofabitch its coming for New York[/QUOTE] i bet it will go out into the ocean like they usually do. i can't imagine having another sandy so soon, but then again climate change.
[QUOTE=Pops;50986891]i bet it will go out into the ocean like they usually do. i can't imagine having another sandy so soon, but then again climate change.[/QUOTE] Current model runs show it going out to sea near new york. [url]https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/atlantic/2016/Hurricane-Hermine?map=model[/url] A few of those paths are showing a weird loop in there, so it might hang out off the coast for awhile.
Maryland's gonna get FUCKED! And I'm here home alone holding down the fort. Why couldn't we get Hurricane Gaston instead?
It's going to absolutely dunk my house with flooding problems in VA.

Thankfully I'm in a taller building in downtown, so I'll be more-or-less fine, but anything farther out on the peninsula... that's going to be some rough flooding.
Sitting here in Destin, happy I'm on the west side of a fucking hurricane for once
