Misc Sizzling Shenanigans: warm season whamby

[Shawn]

All my years chasing winter storms I’ve never chased a hurricane. Winter storms are my passion and always will be but I may chase the next hurricane

It's the most dangerous thing you can do.

As my mom got cured of swimming in hurricanes, I respectfully disagree.

By the way she got picked up and slammed into the sand and dragged down the beach for a solid minute. She was a former lifeguard.

So the TV media on fox weather has a guy telling me the Atlanta emergency dpt told him that they already have power outages and downed trees.

but every station has winds at like 6-8mph and every live cam I cant see the trees moving

whats happening?

Well there are over 20,000 customers in Metro Atlanta without power right now.

I really wanted to like Fox Weather but they put some very weak people on during landfall.. and coverage went to Hell and was confusing.

Then, to make things better, is they had a dude on that was stationed in Florida but wouldn't stop talking about the horrible damage already starting in Atlanta from the hurricane.

I switched the channel to The Weather Channel and they were covering our tornado warnings in my state and saying how the storm is going East of what they thought and Augusta/GSP need to pay attention.

Gusting to 35 mph here. I could see how some trees and branches might come down.

Just like with snow. Atlanta gets forecasted for snow but then it hits the NC mountains instead

We dodged the bullet in terms of winds here at least. Just shy of 9 inches of rain currently though, that did live up to the expectations.

Larry Sprinkle is the only Charlotte weather professional who was working Hugo who is still working today.

So, about that NHC track...

So, about that NHC track...

What a joke. Everyone at the NHC should be fired.

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

I was under a Hurricane Warning and I didn’t even get Tropical Storm winds.

 

[Snowflowxxl]

We will rebuild, Atlanta.

The sun is starting to come out. It's gonna be a beautiful day !

I don’t believe we’re going to avoid potentially the greatest natural disaster in recorded history for a good chunk of WNC and Upstate SC. This is hurricane hugo + 1916. Frankly, it’s almost unfathomable.

The one time you really hope to be wrong and it sure doesnt seem like you will be

 

[Snowflowxxl]

NHC needs to be held accountable. Tons of people in eastern GA and SC not prepared because of their incorrect path

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Is everything good in ATL ? @HugeSnowStick

 

[J.C.]

I don’t get how you can be more accurate 4 days in advance than you are 4 hours in advance.

They were using the globals, as they should have. Why they ignored them during the event is something we aren't privy to.
