Tropical Storm Sally could bring ‘dangerous, potentially historic’ flooding to Alabama, 30" +

glad to keep praying.

I think I'm done with college football.

The GLP effect has taken over.

Sally is both meh-DOOM and mega-DOOM.

Looks wicked

TY

GLP

Overblown headlines just like MSM.

Cat 2.... "historic.."

I see this more and more on here

As long as its still over water and the perfect environment-- it only take 6-12 hours to Rapidly intensify 30-40mph or even more. Not saying it will-- but the potential is there. The models for hurricane intensity are not very effective in the current scenario. Huge difference between CAT1 and CAT3.

24" of rain is historic.

ACs in the house

Has it fallin yet?

Goodmorning max.

Your by-lines at the bottom of your post is very apropos for this storm!

"Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" was shouted out by Admiral Farragut during the Battle of Mobile Bay, which is exactly where Hurricane Sally is headed!

"Farragut ordered the Union fleet into Mobile Bay, Ala., which was defended by several forts, the largest of which was Fort Morgan. A line of mines (“torpedoes”) on one side of the bay’s channel obliged any attacking ships to pass close to Fort Morgan on the other side of the channel, and the Confederate ironclad Tennessee was also stationed in the bay.

Farragut’s force entered the bay in two columns (Aug. 5, 1864), with armored monitors leading and a fleet of wooden frigates following. When the lead monitor Tecumseh was demolished by a mine, the leading wooden ship Brooklyn stopped in alarm, and the whole line of ships drifted in confusion under the very guns of Fort Morgan.

As disaster seemed imminent, Farragut shouted his famous words, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” to the hesitating Brooklyn. He swung his own ship, the Hartford, clear and headed across the mines, which failed to explode. The fleet followed him."

The rest, as they say, is history.

Cat 2..... Yawn.

If you live on the cost and don't know about hurricanes you're a dumb shit. If you did know about them and moved there, stop crying. If you don't live that STFU.


Easy. Hyper kids/children have taken over the inter. Everything has to be critical... Psst get a life.

Your 100 AC.

Its has always been me favorite quote.

A Cat 2 stalling and going forward only 2-3 mph-- so that everything is exposed to high wind and rain for long periods of time-- is almost as bad as a Cat 5 moving through quickly at 25-35 mph.

I'm having gulf shrimp for breakfast!

How fitting

Wow!

I miss the Miracle Strip!

This is the scenario were facing. Some cant grasp it.

Last time I was there is was at night. It really is beautiful even at night.

Is there any chance this thing could still hit NOLA?

Where is this bitch coming ashore, what cat and where is she going?

We do not know for sure. Looks like mobile bay.

harvey was 60" in houston

I remember

What a damn mess

100% agree

Could be a ride for sure

Bayou Le Batre (Forrest Gump's buddy Bubba's hometown) better really batten down!

That's what has me worried. 60" was not expected.

Lot category doesnt matter here. It is moving 2mph right now. This thing is just going to sit there and dump rain down like harvey did
