Early times. But looks promising. Best forecast available is a once daily blog called Tropical Tidbits. Check it out.

I was sitting cursing about having tested the 8 speakers I pulled last weekend to find 3/8 were bad and all came from the same car. Bad enough but this junkyard I just discovered also refuses returns on stuff under $20/item. Good to know for the future as I have only recently started going to this yard. Don't buy anything small and cheap you can't be sure of!

I'll keep thinking good luck for you folks who may be in the potential path of the storm. Hopefully it turns right soon!

Neil.

Hi,

Yes I have seen the spaghetti models and the consensus seems to be it will head out farther east as it comes up the coast, but you never know. It is also supposed to slow down when it is still more south. We'll see I guess.
It's amazing how much area these things cover.

This is what NOAA has to say so far...

Remember, the tracks just show the path of the Centre of the Storm. Approximate size of storm added for detail. Many more of those tracks will be interesting

Definitely get your point. Storm force winds are pretty common around these parts. It’s those 64 KT+++++ winds in the eyewall that give me heebie jeebies. And surge of course.

Mind you, we currently have a water usage restrictions in effect. Hard to believe that near the Canadian mountains that would ever happen. Clearly nothing to do with the government releasing all the water from the reservoirs in case we got flooding in the spring..............!

What!? That's the most insane thing I've heard... well, today at least

. They're worried about biodegradable soap mixed with the stuff that's washing off of cars every time it rains. If only they knew what happened while I was bringing waste oil to the recycling center yesterday. I'm sure you can draw conclusions...

Hi,

For an additional perspective, here's the storm from an aerial viewpoint "Storm...jpeg"
and a sea turtle trying to get away from it "SeaTurtle...jpeg".
Ok, I made that last one up
