Shoobee Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yup, and as Jay Leno pointed out yesterday, the winds from Isaac are expected to be so strong that they might even blow some of Mitt Romney's money back into the USA from the Caymans!

Dawg Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Got my eyes on this one. Current models show the possibility this thing coming right at us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoobee Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 'Tis the season now, afterall. Funny how coincidences have a tendancy to happen like that. I had a boss once who planned his dream vacation to Key Largo with his wife in late August once, at which time beforehand I happened to mention that the only thing he had to worry about was a hurricane. He thinks I jinxed him then, because while they were down there a big one slammed right into them, and they were stuck in the hotel the whole time and could not go out anywhere.

Dawg Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Got my eyes on this one. Current models show the possibility this thing coming right at us. Looks like the models have changed since yesterday. Now they have it making landfall just west of New Orleans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Everyone stay safe, hope it does not get too bad but hearing west of New Orleans could see 18 inches of rain. We need some rain here, weather we get out of Memphis was showing potential for us to get some rain out of Isaac later in the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoobee Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 At least the driving rain in Florida may drive out the Occupiers in Tampa. It's good for that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCamoChick Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I really dislike hurricanes!! With any luck we'll be on the west side which is the best side to be on. But when I talk about hurricanes the further I am away from them the better I am. So anywho, if y'all get a minute in your busy day, please say a prayer for us.

Issac is still a tropical storm. A whopper of a tropical storm (we are getting rain bands from it in South Carolina!) but it is not a hurricane yet. With some luck it may not develop into a hurricane at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes it's still a tropical storm and I'm praying that is doesn't get stronger. Wow! I can't believe you are getting rain bands way over there!

redkneck Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 We usually like a good tropical storm in August, bringing much needed rain. This year has been so wet it's not funny, hope we don't get to much water but looks like it's gonna be a big rainmaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCamoChick Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Rain I can handle, well not to where everything is flooded beyond belief. But the winds scare me. And the possibility of tornados!! Yikes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Get this. I live on the western side of FL and the east side was getting more rain the us. I couldnt understand it. I live in naples and it was worse in fort pierce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Thanks for the prayers! And yes it's still a tropical storm and I'm praying that is doesn't get stronger. Wow! I can't believe you are getting rain bands way over there! It's now not expected to be a Cat 2 and has been downgraded to a possible Cat 1. Let's hope it keeps weakening. Either way, this is a humongous storm system. I'm at the southern tip of South Carolina's coast. It's raining now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Well it's officially a Catagory 1 now (just barely). Hope it doesn't get any stronger. Edited August 28, 2012 by Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCamoChick Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I just watched the update. Im hoping it doesn't get stronger too. I don't think they are anticipating that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkCamoChick Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Well I'll keep them in my prayers too. I'm watching the weather channel now. It's just such a slow moving storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Heard the Levy just broke again.. and they are under 12 foot of water; local weatherman says he has a live feed and just reported at 7am Edited August 29, 2012 by Mathews XT Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Heard the Levy just broke and they are under 12 foot of water Lots of grumbling that this can't just be a CAT 1 storm and do this. The categories are based on wind speed not rainfall. Isaac is an absolute behemoth of a storm system carrying tremendous amounts of rain. It's also barely moving. The longer it lingers the more rain it will drop on one place. That's gonna cause some major flooding. The predicted storm surge will be well under what the sustained rainfall will cause. Pray this one moves on quickly. Edited August 29, 2012 by Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
