rm2551 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Fist strong rainfall just finished in longer than I can remember. Must've been a good 5-7mm. It only lasted 15mins and is now sunny again. Oh well, I guess that is about it for winter rainfall if the dry trend resumes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different picture here in the "Rain Shadow" flatlands, our summer has been largely glorious (nowhere near like last years scorcher). Today we have had a little light drizzle, at the mo the sun is shining brightly. *"Rain Shadow", something I vaguely remember from geography lessons long ago.

Complete hysteria down here. No gas to be found anywhere and food/water gone from the stores and it’s not gonna hit until Monday. It’s like people have never been through these things before. Where I am, it’ll be fine. Maybe some power outages, maybe some roof damage with older homes. We’re gonna have a hurricane party with all the neighbors. If Irma didn’t get us bad, I can’t imagine Dorian is. But still, same precautions being taken as usual. I picked up a large bottle of vodka. I’m ready! 😉🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the forecast is getting better for us with landfall being projected around W. Palm Beach. Then the upward swing will bring it by us on Wednesday as a Cat 1 - which isn't too bad. Lots of rain and wind - but moving so slowly can make it seem like forever. Glad we have a lot of people in our hood to hang out with to kill the time. Plus we all have gas stoves, grills, hot water tanks, etc here so even without electricity we're not completely screwed. Just hope the track stays south. Thanks brotha!

Please Check him out: That was very thoroughly explained. I’ll have to check into him more often. Thanks for posting that. My neighbors parents live in Freeport in the Bahamas. We’re very worried for their safety. That’s the only certainty of this storm - that island is going to be devastated. New update in an hour - looks like it’s going to be close to a Cat 5. Hopefully it just stays out in the Atlantic... The whole east coast should be paying close attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
