Powerful Hurricane Isabel eyeing SE US coast

[Almighty Colin]

Maximum sustained winds are now near 160 mph. A category 5 storm. It will likely not maintain this intensity very long but will likely remain a major hurricane for the next week.

Where's she heading? Only time will tell.

Clemsontiger sleeps on a futon in the basement. The two of you are more than welcome to share it with him, but the rules are that you MUST take him with you when you leave. :)

if it goes to Hatteras Island, Sarettah will be fucked majorly,
I know the area and it ain't fun with only one road to escape.

S, if shit happens, get in touch with MikeW, he has the keys of our house while we are away

[sarettah]

Well I wish I was there.....

Would have loved to catch the surf last week and the surf that will be hitting in the next couple of days in front of Izzie.........

But I am not...... I am in Kansas City for now....

Have a lot of friends in Hatteras and yes, if a Cat 5 comes in there will wreak some havoc......

But the islanders in Hatteras are pretty self reliant...lol...and stubborn...

The rest of my family is up on Long Island and then around Boston....

If this one shoots up the coast, I am hoping they will move out of the way... Although they always act like most downeasters.... stubborn...

(I can hear it now...I've been through every major blow thats come up the coast for 50 years, I aint moving out of the way for this one)

[DaveAFX]

it won't do a whole lot of damage here in Ellijay
Might knock a few apples off the trees... :awinky:

Serge, if it levels Boca, everything east of intracoastal might get washed out to the Bahamas.

[sarettah]

I think Gloria http://www.geocities.com/hurricanene/hurri...icanegloria.htm (http://www.geocities.com/hurricanene/hurricanegloria.htm) was the last one to do any real damage to Hatteras.... It brushed by NC... went right over Hatteras and launched some tornadoes and such....

lolol... Yes Serge, Hatteras was hit by many many many.... I think I went through an average of 2 a year while I was there...

But the last one to cause MAJOR damage was probably Gloria... I was on the island right after it went through... hundred year old tress were uprooted... Houses that had stood through every storm for 50 years were hurt bad...

Lots of beach houses were flattened....

Gloria scared the locals...which is hard to do...

[Winetalk.com]

I remember Gloria...it hit NYC after NC..

we got together with friends and played poker all day long...

Yeppirs... It went right across Long Island....

I wasnt there for Gloria, but it was very much like Donna which is the first storm I remember... I was 5 years old, living in Levittown, LI.....

I remember lots of wind.... lots of water... and watching tree limbs and stuff blow up the street one direction... and then a few hours later watching them go back down the street...lol


Been through quite a few hurricane partis...lol... Our choice was always poker with Necco wafers as the chips....

Hatteras (and the other OB's) tend to get hammered more by Noreasters than they do hurricanes. Wasn't it Fran that caused all the damage just offshore? I remember driving past it MONTHS after it happened and the town it hit the worst (Tar something) had people STILL living in FEMA trailers.

lololol.... thats WHY I was stationed there....

I reenlisted in 78 for a guaranteed 4 year tour right behind the lighthouse :)

They paid me to soif....... :yowsa:

Used to get off the midwatch at about 6:30-7 in the am, walk from our building to the club, check the surf and if it was pumping, paddle on out.... Otherwise go home and go to sleep :)

We're already making plans of what we're going to pack in the van beforehand, in case we need to get the fuck outta dodge. Everytime I see Isabel, all I can think of is Andrew.
It's gonna be nasty if she hits here.

HOLY SHIT!!!!

the eye on this monster is 50 miles wide

Look out anyone in the path of this thing

will be devestating if it makes landfall with this magnitude

Wow the track of this thing has changed drastically. Now I'm even more worried about this storm than I was when it looked like it might hit Florida. My parents live in a very low lying area on Maryland's eastern shore, which is right smack in the middle of the new forecast track. My house was built to withstand stuff like this (or at least the new hurricane codes after Andrew hit FL) .. there's was not. I really hope this thing weakens or better yet just spins off into the ocean.

yeah, week ago it looked like direct hit to FL,
now...I am not sure if NYC is safe

[Forest]

to give you an idea of just how big it is

If it went across the state of florida due west the ENTIRE state from Key West to Gerogia border would be under the storm at the same time

this is all my mother in law's fault...

every time we have calamity of Isabel proportion,
we call her and ask her for a prayer.
She and her church friends have a direct line to God's ears and have remarkable 75% closing ratio.
We asked her the other day to avert hurricane from Florida...
seems like they overdid it a bit and now it threatens South Jersey
;-(((

"Be careful what you pray for..."

[Forest]

it going to NYC

my 2 cents

only because WE jinxed it while we were there

MikeW are your folks leaving town? I hope so. This storm *really* has the ability to turn and run right up the Bay, and it will be total devastation if it does. My old home on Kent Island would be *gone*.

Thanks Serge, we'll need all the luck we can get but we're definitely going to do our best to stay safe!

The more I look at it, the more inclined I am to bet that this sucker is going to do what Gloria did.... Eye is gonna go over hatteras and then go straight up, across water and hit Long Island and New England....

No scientific reason, just gut feeling.......

Carrie, stay safe........

Sare, do you have someone down there boarding up your house?

Here are some pictures of houses I took last year in Nag's Head and KDH - amazing they are IN the water already - I can just imagine they'll be completely lost in a large storm. :( You can see in many places where they've tried to resand the beach, but it just gets erroded within a year or so of regular storms:

I came SO close to buying a full time house there - the storms are the only thing that stopped me.

Vick,

How far inland are you?
I'm less than 80 miles inland (as the crow flies) due east from the Atlantic (By Delaware Bay)
About 15 miles from the Chesapeake Bay
About 120 mile drive from the Eastern Shore where Ocean City and Assateague Island are (barrier islands and summer resort) on the Atlantic

I don't have a house down there peaches... used to live there, not anymore...

Have a condo in Fort Myers Fl....

Yeppirs the Nags Heads houses have been problems for years. I have an old National Geographic (has to be 20 years old now) showing the houses in the water.....

Down on Hatteras, they aren't allowed to build houses beyond the dune lines... protects them a little bit....

If I were to get a house down there, it would be in Buxton (widest point of Hatteras Island) and it would NOT be on the beach.....

While I would love to own a beach house, I would hate to have to pay the insurance premiums and rebuild it every 10 years or so.....

I have been talking to friends on the island..... some natives, some not....

I offered up a place to stay...but I got the answer I knew I would.... "I aint letting no storm chase me out of here"....

They have survived many before, I hope they survive this one because I think Hatteras is gonna get it dead on and then the storm is gonna flow right up the northern current streams and miss most of the rest of the coast until Long Island (reminds me I have to call my brother, he is still in Levittown, where we grew up)....

[Peaches]

Ah, OK - I thought you still had a place there.

I heard they evacuated Okracoke. :( It's been a couple of years since we were that far south, but talked to some who had ridden a recent one through and said their power was out for 2 weeks - not fun!

I was looking up in the Duck area because when I first started looking, it was less inhabited. I love the homes on Pea Island, but not having a million or so sitting around.....

The old homes on Nag's Head are just SO cool, IMHO. I love the architecture - especially when they've added on through the years, lol!

Buxton is a cool place also. The only thing I hate about the OB are the crowds. I ONLY go during Off Season after hearing nightmares about the traffic, waits for the grocery stores, restaurants etc.

But I love it and missed going this year :(

[ulfie]

Peaches, one day I'll take you to my secret place in NC. No lines, awesome beaches, 45 minutes from all that crap if you want it, etc. :)

You described it to me in FL - I'm ready to go!! We should probably wait until after the storm clears, though. B)

[sarettah]

After looking at this today, I have to revise what I said yesterday. I now think it will probably miss Hatteras at this point (skirt it closely, but not a direct hit)... It has started a much more marked turn to the North..... Next stop Long Island....

Although we could still get lucky if it does what most of them have historically done.....

Maybe so. The average error in a 3 day forecast is about 250 miles. By tomorrow this time the average error to landfall will be under 150 miles.

Any small deviation in the path willl change the landfall location greatly. Just 10 degrees to the right and it will be in Jersey.

im sticking with nyc, long island area

they are way over due

=(

and my grandmother just moved up there saturday

i hope im wrong

All of Dare? IIRC, that's the entire OB. :(

All of Dare County evacuating... damn, they really do expect the worst...

Doubt that the islanders will leave though.....

On the good side of this:

Waves are finally starting to set up:

from North to South:

SURF
8-10 ft. - 3 ft. overhead to double overhead with occasional 12 ft. and fair+ conditions.

LARGE and still building SE ground...cleanest early...Northerly winds become a problem during the day....South facing beaches the best bet.

SURF
5-8 ft. - head high to 3 ft. overhead and fair-good conditions.

Solid head plus ESE swell. South facing beaches best bet today due to Northerly winds.

Outer Banks preparing for Isabel


(Manteo, North Carolina-AP) -- Residents of some areas of North Carolina's Outer Banks have been told to leave their homes before noon.

Officials in Dare County have issued a mandatory evacuation order. Authorities say residents and visitors on Hatteras Island must make final preparations to leave as Hurricane Isabel gets closer.

All residents of Ocracoke (OHK'-rah-kohk) Island were ordered to begin evacuating yesterday.

Roads along the southern beaches could begin to feel the effect of Hurricane Isabel as early as today, with ocean overwash expected.

[sarettah]

On the surf... seems like the wind has shifted to out of the north, so big waves still but increasingly poor conditions.....

Storm is down to a cat 2..............

Still mean as all hell though......

Hmmm... Just was watching CNN... Now the National Weather folks have moved landfall to Cape Fear (Just south of Hatteras).... But when I look at the track map, I still see it ending up going more Northward....

Wonder whta they know that I don't knwo... Other than all that science and physics stuff....... :)


http://maps.wunderground.com/data/images/at200313.gif

[sarettah]

Well...looks like Hatteras and Cape Fear are probably experiencing some pretty good winds now......

Hurricane Isabel is drifting to the northwest and is expected to make landfall somewhere along the North Carolina coast on Thursday.

Look for wind and rain to pick up across southern New England and the mid-Atlantic through the day on Thursday. In fact, wind gusts could easily gust as high as 50-60 mph in Washington, D.C. by Thursday night and Friday morning.

Heavy rain will be a major issue as well. 2-4 inches could easily fall by late Friday in New York, while as much as 10 inches of rain could fall in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Flash flood watches are in effect from the Carolinas to Pennsylvania.


Sorry sarettah but Riding the Storm out is about a full moon night in a rocky mountain winter but ......

The wind outside is frightening,
but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city.
It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give.
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out

Schools and other things have already been closed here in Maryland

Damn nitpickers......... :yowsa:


Then hows about this:

Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light
from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam
I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
turning once to fire.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.

I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.

I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.

I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.

You are just a dreamer,
and I am just a dream.
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.

I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.

[Vick]

It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud

My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin

The bitch is hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well

More days to come
New places to go
I've got to leave
It's time for a show

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud

Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose

The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs to the show

He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
