I watched some of the Ryan Hall Y'all live stream of that outbreak. There was some bad ones.

I haven't caught his channel but I hear he's good.

I bet some were bad. I wonder how they're recovering?

Speaking of, how 'bout that fresh new hurricane spinning up down by Puerto Rico and headed your way? I'd be getting pretty tired of them by now if I lived there...

Stay safe, brother.

that storm your talking about is Rafel, it looks to be turning into the gulf, and before it hit anything else it might peeter out, now it's remnence that's a whole different story, will it head into Texas or just push into norther mexico....it's hard to read at this point...

Like budman said, it's heading west and getting weaker. Lots of shear in it's future.

This is the first year since Michael that we have had any serious threat of tropical weather at my end of the state, and really none of them were close enough to do any damage. My biggest fear is a flood taking the riverhouse. We don't have insurance so the loss would be on us. We have talked about moving, but it would be due to heat (and red hats) not storms. Before Helene we had done a little checking on land near the AT in NC. Now we may look in VA instead.

We are in the middle of our 4th drought of the year here in middle VA, still hitting 80F atleast twice a week, forcast has us returning to more normal late fall weather next week. Cant remeber the last time a carribian hurricane made it this far north and the atlantic ones dont do much damage east of 95. Plenty of FED and military money to be had if your in the right fields. Good parks, decent schools, grey MJ market have kept prices for your crop from compleatly falling out the bottom with extra low risk of pedlling your flowers. All in all not a bad place to be, a flordia boy will have no problem with our summers and you'll only freeze about 1in 4 winters.

Earth Will Exceed 1.5 Degrees Celsius of Warming This Year

This year won’t just be the hottest on record—it could be the first to surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius. The Paris climate accord aims to keep warming below that level when looking over multiple years

This is uncharted territory as far as storms go. I'm an hour inland and Michael still had 130mph winds when she came by the Sandhill.

I'm done with work (for now anyway). I'm only 63 but these days my main job is being my wife's caregiver. I don't grow enough to worry about selling. Although it would be nice to do it in the yard. I lost a flowering Orgi f2 to termites this season. (they never seem to kill a crap strain)

We've had crazy cold winters here lately. I had been growing about 1/3 of my stash as a spring crop, but it's got down to 16f'ing degrees three of the last four years. Weed is tough, but not that tough. I lost all those crops. (once again I'm saying I'm not going to pop any seeds this winter)

I did live in Norfolk, Chesapeake and surrounding areas in the early 80's. But we won't talk about that.

I've been meaning to mention this for a week, but keep forgetting. Cousin John spent 20-25 years on the kidney wait list. He couldn't be more than two hours from a big hospital during that time. So when his sister moved up here a few years he had to stay down south. He moved up here when he aged out of the program a couple years ago, but still goes to his old hospital for big stuff. Last month he had a heart procedure done, and they knew it might hurt his kidney function. If it dropped below a certain percent he would have to have dialysis. The plan was to use the new at home machine. His percentages did drop, but so far not so far that he has been using dialysis. Which is a good thing. Because the fluid used in the at home machine was made in the flooded NC factory you heard about on the news. He will have to sit at the VA for the foreseeable future (if he requires dialysis).

I saw a spaghetti model that looked like the bowl hit the floor; the track lines literally radiated out in all directions! I've never seen anything like it. I did see that all of those models forecast it weakening in the next days and that's good. Much of America is suffering from drought and this could be a welcome respite, as long as it doesn't dump feet of rain...

We done fucked up the climate, and boy is Mother Nature pissed about it.

yeah from the looks Rafael is just gonna meander around, and disapate....now the question is where is all that energy gonna go, i do know there is a cold front moving through and it's supposed to hit us tonight, maybe the energy of this storm will follow that......

Right now the storm track reminds me of the stripes laid down by an old Mustang spinning donuts in the parking lot.
