Hurricane Irene...care to wager?
Re: Hurricane Irene...care to wager?
Yeah... I think we're due.
*fingers crossed for rain, but no serious damage*
Since I posted this less than an hour ago, it's already been downgraded by the time it gets near us and is no longer a direct hit, but veering off into the Atlantic the way they usually do instead.
ETA: Woops, M - Major Hurricane, so not downgraded to Mild haha. But still veering off.
I say no. The last time we really got hit, it was a crazy year atmospherically and it was like the 3rd one to come in the general area before it actually got any of the city. This year seems pretty tame. If it were late September and the Gulf was at its peak temperature, I might say yes.
No way this will hit Jacksonville directly. I don't think it will hit anywhere directly and will veer off into the Atlantic except for maybe a few outer bands. No way.
The local media just likes to get all uppity so they have something to talk about.
It'll change every few hours between now & landfall. I think we all know that.
Historical data on Weather Underground has it pretty much going anywhere:
Haha. Yeah. It's actually strengthened in the projection from a Cat 2 to a Cat 3. It does seem to be a bit more east though.
For those saying so, of course the forecast will change every few hours. I love tracking it.
I felt I had to mention it though because I didn't realize my PIP would change WITH the forecast. My OP mentioned a direct hit to Jax which is obviously not reflected anymore in the PIP.
ETA: I'm w/you though, Madisen. It's fun to track them.
Wow, that's actually pretty cool!
That is cool. I will be watching this thread all week.
