so you need jp's trailer to haul off all that water?

Shit, we had a bigger tree than that down. Damn you Isassias!

[2thDoc]

hush. jp is trying to decide how much heavy equipment to take to garden city. why do you insist on being such an ass all the time?

Because I just had to wear a freaking mask at the Fresh Market, run by the Ingles and the tatooed up sluts toting their greasy rugrats over their shoulders had no masks. The whole scene was unsavory.

I did see that Ingles has 1/2 a frozen duck for $9.99...

My limb wasn't from the storm. It was from all the extra weight of pecans. Had another hit the ground 2 weeks ago, from the same tree, in the same spot.

My trailer can only carry Holy Water, none of that common rain-dumped stuff.

Picture of Southport Marina looks pretty rough...floaters gave way and pinned all the boats on top of each other in the basin.

Ocean Isle had several houses go up in flames. Not sure they've determined the cause yet.

JP, my wife saw someone's post on FB last night in Garden City and they had water coming through the house. I'm sure it's all hot or miss depending on exact location.

Thanks. Got a few pictures from a neighbor. Nothing unusual - just water intrusion.

Our end of GCB has been removing water logged Sheetrock and insulation from ground level rooms, cleaning up debris from a neighboring roof top deck blown off of the house and removing front end loader loads of marsh grass mats and dock deck boards.

South. Down past Marlin Quay almost to the Point on the creek side.

Glad we sold out down there. Hate yall had damage. Went down last fall and was shocked at what the South end has become. MQ was a dump looking place and the marina was a ghost town

Lots of tatooed up women in their summer best house shoes and pajama pants use that Ingles. At least the Landrum Ingles gets all the horsey set weirdos to even it out.

Mandatory evacuation for all non-residents and residents on Oak Island from the west end point to 40th SE street went into affect at noon today. Will have no water, power, sewer and from my understanding, they are not allowing anyone on the island that has property or lives there if they are in that zone. So no go on starting the cleaning and repair process.

We have 2 on the same strip now. The one you are talking about and a new one the yankee retirees go to. Tatted hill william sluts/mexicans or Yankees. Thankfully there is an HT for normal people and me. If only we could get our local meat market to turn his joint into something that resembles an Ole Timey Meat Market rather Cletus's Deer processing...

there's a place in Clyde that makes awesome sausage....

Back to the bread store boys...



'Extremely active' hurricane season possible for Atlantic Basin
NOAA urges preparedness as we enter peak months for hurricane development

August 6, 2020Atmospheric and oceanic conditions are primed to fuel storm development in the Atlantic, leading to what could be an “extremely active” season, according to forecasters with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Weather Service. Today, the agency released its annual August update to the Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook, initially issued in May.

The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season has been off to a rapid pace with a record-setting nine named storms so far and has the potential to be one of the busiest on record. Historically, only two named storms form on average by early August, and the ninth named storm typically does not form until October 4. An average season produces 12 named storms, including six hurricanes of which three become major hurricanes (Category 3, 4, or 5).

“This is one of the most active seasonal forecasts that NOAA has produced in its 22-year history of hurricane outlooks. NOAA will continue to provide the best possible science and service to communities across the Nation for the remainder of hurricane season to ensure public readiness and safety,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. “We encourage all Americans to do their part by getting prepared, remaining vigilant, and being ready to take action when necessary.”

The updated outlook calls for 19-25 named storms (winds of 39 mph or greater), of which 7-11 will become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or greater), including 3-6 major hurricanes (winds of 111 mph or greater). This update covers the entire six-month hurricane season, which ends Nov. 30, and includes the nine named storms to date.

A comprehensive measure of the overall hurricane season activity is the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index, which measures the combined intensity and duration of all named storms during the season. Based on the ACE projection, combined with the above-average numbers of named storms and hurricanes, the likelihood of an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season has increased to 85%, with only a 10% chance of a near-normal season and a 5% chance of a below-normal season.

“This year, we expect more, stronger, and longer-lived storms than average, and our predicted ACE range extends well above NOAA’s threshold for an extremely active season,” said Gerry Bell, Ph.D., lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center.

Current oceanic and atmospheric conditions that make an “extremely active” hurricane season possible are warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, reduced vertical wind shear, weaker tropical Atlantic trade winds and an enhanced west African monsoon. These conditions are expected to continue for the next several months. A main climate factor behind these conditions is the ongoing warm phase of the Atlantic Multi-Decadal Oscillation, which reappeared in 1995 and has been favoring more active hurricane seasons since that time.

Another contributing climate factor this year is the possibility of La Nina developing in the months ahead. Indicative of cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures in the equatorial regions of the eastern Pacific Ocean, La Nina can further weaken the wind shear over the Atlantic Basin, allowing storms to develop and intensify.

NOAA’s hurricane season outlook is for overall seasonal activity and is not a landfall forecast. Landfalls are largely determined by short-term weather patterns, which are only predictable within about a week of a storm potentially reaching a coastline.

NOAA’s National Hurricane Center provides tropical weather outlooks out to five days in advance, provides track and intensity forecasts for individual storms, and issues watches and warnings for specific tropical storms, hurricanes and the associated storm surge.

"NOAA has the most highly trained and dedicated forecasters that serve to protect American lives and property. With improved forecast skill, new storm surge products, and new observations, such as GPS Radio Occultation, we are better positioned than ever before to keep Americans out of harm's way,” said Neil Jacobs, Ph.D., acting NOAA administrator. "It is now more important than ever to stay informed with our forecasts, have a preparedness plan, and heed guidance from local emergency management officials."

This hurricane season FEMA encourages residents in hurricane-prone regions to keep COVID-19 in mind when making preparations and during evacuations.
