Current Models
I guess this a question for you out there who are in the path of whatever storm(s) happen to be occurring/about to occur/probable to occur/occurred/may reoccur...
Are you as fixated as I am on Weather Underground or the NHC and the models run?
I'm amassing some nerve-wrangling jitters about this weekend, wherein we're supposed to fly to Seattle. But, there's this honking monster out there who is currently in our scopes.
Jeff thinks I'm a bit, how you say, obsessed.

Re: Current Models
Not much you can do about the weather, except talk about it. But you might think about getting the car packed and start driving to Seattle.Beebs52 wrote:I guess this a question for you out there who are in the path of whatever storm(s) happen to be occurring/about to occur/probable to occur/occurred/may reoccur...

I wouldn't call you obsessed. I might say you're "a little tetched in the haid," but that has nothing to do with your sensible concern for weather systems.Beebs52 wrote: Jeff thinks I'm a bit, how you say, obsessed.
I currently am staring at long-range forecasts for next weekend in fear that the remnants of one storm or another might delay my escape -- I mean, my return -- from Denver. This would not be acceptable.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I had this conversation with Sting and then with my m-i-l, to no avail.Beebs52 wrote:I guess this a question for you out there who are in the path of whatever storm(s) happen to be occurring/about to occur/probable to occur/occurred/may reoccur...

They both have been fretting about the path if Ike. Worried beyond belief. I kept asking what good the worrying does. It paralyzes my m-i-l and occupies hours and hours of Stings thoughts and attention. There is nothing they can do about where it lands. They can do something about preparing for, being ready for what it does. All this angst and drama does no good and actually does harm.
I told my m-i-l that the worry and stress produced a hormone that makes people fat. She didn't like it - that I told her that, I mean. I think I will not say that again.
Hope you are safe and that you are prepared if it hits Houston.

I follow the weather reports very little since I moved to Houston since we only have two forecasts: "hot, humid, chance of rain" and "warm, humid, chance of rain". Nothing like living in the Midwest with real weather which changes all the time and the full spectrum is possible sometimes in the same day.
But, I'll admit, this summer I've been on Weather Underground and the Houston Chronicle Sci-Guy blog a lot.
Current 5 day forecast for Ike:

This weekend should be interesting.

When I plan baseball trips to Midwestern cities, I should NOT be taking hurricanes into account!
Kay will get a good laugh at this since she has dubbed me to be a baseball weather jinx....

Altruism fails in the presence of Hurricane tracking.
