Re: Hurricane Ernesto

holy carp batman I am blowed away.
at least according to the chicken hype from the weather channel.
dudes its a rainstorm
no matter what the hype its a non event here.
I did go down and check my boat a bit ago. pump is working fine and winds are light.

I almost wish to hear Bush's speech rerun or a jon bonnet story rather than all channels showing jim cantore in a rainstorm.
to much hype

Re: Hurricane Ernesto

Thats what I figured rodbolt. Ernesto is just a rain maker.

Re: Hurricane Ernesto

just ruining the early part of the weekend for us. we do expect a possible 4' surge at high tide, so need to watch that. but we survived isabel, this will be nothing.

Re: Hurricane Ernesto

well I checked the boats again about 7 am, the sound is up a good 8 inches. maybe I can stow my life boats.
we did get about 8" of rain in the past 24 hours but now its starting to clear.

Same here..
We got 8" of rain, but didn't loose a leaf on a tree. Yes, we have standing water, but that pretty much normal this time of mosquito season.

Re: Hurricane Ernesto

yea but to watch wavy news 10 or the weather channel you would have thought we were in for a storm of cat 5 or something.
I realize that even strong tropical storms are dangerous but man they need to quit the hype.
at least the breeze has kept todays skeeters in a landed mode, and not landed on me .

DANGEROUS SITUATION.

Re: Hurricane Ernesto

I wonder how much revenue and advertizement Ernesto generated.Apart from ruining my labor day weekend,it mostly acted like an illegal alien.A lot of noise about them,but when you go looking for them they are hard to find

Re: Hurricane Ernesto

After the Katrina fiasco weather forecasters are probably going to be careful not to under hype storms for a while.As for the illegal analogy,I guess that would depend on who's looking and where.
