I stay glued to the weather radar when these storms come in. I'll be up till all hours watching it tonight unless it breaks up.

I've been texting weather updates and admonitions to my two students on the coast for two days.
What I keep forgetting is that bad weather isn't considered an emergency to them.
It's a mandatory party directive.

 

 

Good. We need the rain
And Florida needed a reminder

 

All blow, no go....

 

So I just got a text from my one kid on the coast to say that my other kid on the coast says he can't get his phone to work. The new phone. The one I bought him a month ago to replace the other one that was trashed. So he'd a have a working phone for emergencies. Like a friggin tropical storm.

My wife asked me yesterday if I had reminded them to charge their phones before tonight.
I replied, and I quote, "What's the point?"

When I'm right, I'm right.

 

Headed to Oriental today, Y'all come on down for the party!

 

What storm? We're shooting a match tomorrow...

 

Amp just PM'd and is out, and I don't have a Jon Boat.

 

Headed to the mountains this weekend. Should be fine up there. But just in casenit gets wet we bought a ping pong table. And beer.

 

Don't forget to tell me where you hid the key.

 

So I just called my old mom down in the SC Low Country. Apparently it's not just the young folks planning to have a hurricane party. One of her old neighbors was calling in while I was talking to her. Of course, they won't make it to happy hour without needing a nap.

 

I keep reading this as Hurricane Hermione.

 

Sooooo.....
Hurricane hot British chick?
Cool!!

All hurricane names have to be gender fluid now

 

No. And if you ever visit you will be blindfolded.

 

Kinky. Count me in.

 

I just got off the phone with a buddy who lives at the coast. Says its 60 mph wind gusts and stinging rain. His wife has been looking through the kitchen window for the last hour. Said if it got much worse he was going to have to let her inside.

 

 

Had a nice trip planned down to Oak Island for tonight, but due to this little stormy gonna have to delay til the AM.

 

Pussy.

 

Y'all be safe, 2-7 inches of rain expected.

PSAto all the ladies out there, when hurricane zedhound comes to town 7" is garunteed

 

A little light weather, huh?

 

Just got a text from the son on the coast with the recently dead new phone...

Him: "I fixed it."
Me: "Outstanding"
Me: "Did you take it to the Verizon store, or did you figure it out yourself?"
Him: "I put it in the microwave."
Me:
Him: "Just kidding"

Kids. Can't live with them, can't throw 'em off Johnny Mercer's Pier.

 

Ok you get a pass with the family. I thought you were going solo to surf fish or something manly.

Me...go to the beach fishing...alone?

With a face like that, you don't even need bait. Waste of money, since you'll scare all the fishies into the next ocean.

 

Okay. I've been waiting patiently for the weather folks on the news to come up with another fancy term for an otherwise normal weather system. Unless I missed it, I'm kind of disappointed. So, the new name of this latest weather system is a GONADS event.

Yeah it's fine. We had a nice overcast day which kept the temp at 72. Ahh.
It'll blow past tonight and the weekend is gonna be super.
NC Apple Festival this weekend in Hendersonville. It's busy, but charming and very America.

I lived in the Keys for 12 years.
Barely a Cat 1? Phht. Party time. And we lived on what can be considered a pepper speck in the ocean and our highest elevation was 8 feet above sea level.

I'm convinced the media hyped this up attempting to deflect attention away from the latest Sea Hag aka Hillary daily scandal number 387.
Her and Huma could go muff diving for urchins during business hours at a day care center and the msm would still insist nothing to see here.
Guess 'Carlos' (scandal # 319) won't be invited this time.

 

I forgot to spell out my acronym above. GONADS (Grand Oceanic Naval Atmospheric Disturbance System)

We've been blessed with Polar Vortex and Heat Dome. They need to start calling these tropical systems GONADS.

 

This stuff is so over hyped that when we get a real storm, no body is going to pay attention...

 

After Fran, Floyd, and the ice storm of '02-03, I get serious when a pine cone hits the roof over my office.

 

Well we got wind gusts about 25 or so. Had soft rain all day so it is soaking in good.

I have my serious face on but looks like I will not get to do any SHTF stuff with this system....

 

I'm pretty sure.....

Yeah....that's a booger.

 

There's no doubt in my mind that these storms are dangerous. None at all. I just like to sit back and watch the weather folks and news media go all out bonkers when they do occur. It's mother nature, not man. But they will never get that. Ever.

 

@Geezer ya'll okay down your way?

 

He's hiding out in the Triad.

 

Man...I started the generator and chainsaw, but all for naught. I think we got a couple inches of much-needed rain, almost no wind other than a slight breeze.
