Tropical Tropical Weather Banter & Venting Thread

One of the storm chasers needs to do a live feed of Michael coming in with the Halloween theme playing in the background.

Has anyone noticed a certain weather guy from the Weather Channel not on the ground reporting??? I will give you a hint.. he is a good actor??

Wow I didn't notice until you just said that. I can't remember the last time he wasn't out in the field for a storm.
 
Was it Bettis?? He’s on live now
 
One thing I noticed is despite an historic hurricane, neither this board nor the other board crashed that I'm aware of. Can you imagine an historic snowstorm? The board would be crashing every hour. Clearly there are more winter weather fans than tropical fans !
 
LMAO at the debate over on AW with the trolls about whether Michael was a Cat. 4 or actually a Cat. 2 because of initial damage reports. It's turning into a real crap show right now.

I smell an 11th hour FFW extension incoming into Atlanta later on this afternoon. I think we're going to see more than 1 inch of rainfall out of Michael even if it tracks as far south as far southern GA.

It may not be a FFW, but I'll take my small victories when I can get em. lol

Bit of a funny story. I got a call for a job interview asking to schedule for today on Tuesday, about around closing time for that place. I hesitated, thinking about Michael incoming and about how a lot of the city was probably going to shut down on Thursday, but ended up saying yes to today.

Needless to say, when I tried to get in contact with them yesterday I didn't reach anybody and when I got there (just in case it was open) I saw they were closed. My theory was they closed the office after the morning yesterday. Hopefully they call me when they come back in.

Also: My dad talked through the happenings late night, and then said he thinks the power went off 3 times. First he saw the blue light on the DirecTV receiver at about 1:20ish AM (which comes on after the power cuts back on), then the next time with the power, the radio in the kitchen started playing classic music (which I think is what one of the news radio stations from around here has when it's in the late night hours), and then the next time I heard the microwave beeping.

I didn't sleep well (and I'm not sure it had to do with anxiety) and combining it with the electronics that will do stuff when there's a power surge wasn't fun. IIRC on what my dad said, I think probably about an hour or so after I first drifted off was the classic music on the radio. Then an hour later, the microwave.
 
Out of curiosity, given the context of Michael's landfall, I went and dug up the satellite and radar imagery from Andrew.

The difference between the two overall sets of imagery is astounding, to me at least. I don't much remember much of the imagery from the 90s, and obviously Moore's Law meant it was inevitable, but the evolution of the technology in my lifetime so far gets me all giddy inside, warm and fuzzy like.

just don't let it blind common sense ... :confused:
 
Here's something in the you learn something everyday category.

Before this year I didn't realize that in half of the pacific, it's still called a hurricane and not a typhoon. Kind of dumb I didn't know that.
