Now how do you fix crow. I have never had to cook it and eat it before. I was very wrong. I thought it would hit the Island.

Deb

Pluck feathers, behead said crow. Roast at 400 degrees until internal temp is 165. Gag, eat and grin... we all make mistakes...

Thanks I think don't like crow.LOL

Well I will say this if it has not stalled it is barely creeping along. JMO

[Sabanic]

Lets clarify the ULL issue as well - It has not stalled. Moving a bit slower, but not stalled.

If there was an indication of a possible stall, you can bet that it would be addressed in the next disco.

True, but is it slowing to a stall, and with Dean picking up forward speed, and it's slowing will that possibly change the future of Dean? Who knows. Like you said let's see if it is mentioned in the disussion.

[Portastorm]

Yup, as our own expert pro met Wxman57 points out ... the slight acceleration is just another sign that the high pressure ridge holding Dean at bay (from any northward progress) is large and in charge!

Fasterdisaster, notice the wind of 81 & 114mph bottom right corner of graph. Also this is not from weatherunderground, this is the metar obs from the Kingston Airport (MKJP).

>>Or, they could be geniunely concerned that they'd be caught with their pants down, so to speak, and have to go though an even more accelerated Rita evac. And unless you're from Houston/SE Texas, you can't understand what hell that was.

Maybe not trolling, but I was trying to be nice

With the "OMG" in the post? They(?) specifically said, "could someone seriously please find out if I need to start evac." What does this tell you? You're going to go to the internet and ask someone else, while freaking, to find out local information that would be all over every media source in your area if it was the case that you could only miss if you didn't enjoy the "luxury" of electricity? And there's a thread 2 up that says, "Let's stay calm."

And as far as the Rita situation, yes I can understand. I was caught up in serious traffic for about 9 or 10 hours three weeks before that. Hell, I was on Dauphin Island for Rita and got stranded there with the jetty rocks washing up on Alabama State Highway 193. So in some ways, Rita was worse for me than it was for people in Houston. I saw 9 feeder bands, and I got stranded for 24 hours. Yes, I realize what hell it was, and I also realize that although evacuation traffic bites the big one, it's better to get stuck in traffic for a while than to get hit by a strong storm. Just ask anyone to your immediate east in the Golden Triangle area and East Texas or in Cameron, Calcasieu or Vermillion Parishes in Louisiana. 100% of them would trade some hell traffic for their homes and possessions.

I like crow-ka-bobs... and since I made the same call have already prepared them! Would you like to join me in the feasting? Kaw - Kaw

Also this observation was @ 0100Z (9:00pm)

Oops, I apologize, I might have been a little rude, wasn't seeing the graph, just the peak wind spped.

Jamaica has declared a State of Emergency for 1 month.

"As for Dr. Frank, he's been trying to draw a hurricane here for over 20 years. Almost every storm out there "could come this way". Yeah, the chances aren't zero, but they're less than 1%."

Pretty ridiculous thing to say. I watched his last statement and it sounded quite prudent. Given the way I saw my fellow Texans respond to Rita's potential, I would say he is being responsible.

Back towards the eye perhaps?

Thats ok, it has been a long weekend . Speaking for my self being very tired.

Oh dear. Hope people are okay there!

A bit slower, it's moving a lot slower. Now i'm not saying it will stall, but it's moving at a snail's pace at the monent.

Are you looking at 2 or 3 images, or a 30 image loop?

[mettski]

it was a likkle rough, gotta love the jamaican attitude, peace.

Wxman57 knows what he's talking about. Dr. Frank has publicly said that his church groups have successfully prayed storms away when he lived in South Florida. Go google it if you don't believe me.

Looks like they are trying to cover the heaviest convection.
