Ok, call me dumb, but maybe we are not sure what constitutes useless. Maybe it's just me.


Humor is important. Posts like sponger's keep the tension lower as the storms get worse. It calms people down. It is hardly useless!

People...this is getting ridiculous. The mods have asked time and time again to stop these posts that have nothing to do with 97L. So what if you can't go to the chat room during work...go to the OFF TOPIC forum and discuss your interests there!

Actually, the post by the mods she was referring to was made before sponger's anyway. I guess everyone just missed it. Image
...because it gave actual examples of useless posts, Damar91. :)

If we eliminated the drama and hype and just discussed actual meteorlogical conditions, these threads wouldn't be 70 pages long for "just an invest".

Just my two cents which I am sure will get about 5 pages of flaming for speaking my mind.

--Lou


Nope, no flaming. As someone who had to catch up by wading through 10+ pages of good posts, as well as nonsense posts, I have to ask: please, think about what you want to say and formulate one post, instead of so many of the same people using the thread like a chatroom. The site is getting busy as well, and I think we all want to do everything we can to keep the site up and running with no interruptions.

Informative posts are getting buried within mere minutes.

A good little reminder that will only take a couple of minutes to read:

More northerly component where the weakness is greatest or on the western edge. That would increase the threat to the central TX coast around to the Fl Panhandle. If the ridge is weaker.

Agreed, because sometimes a person does not want to scroll down 19-20 pages of posts that have nothing to do with 97L. All I want to find out is things having to do directly with 97L.

Yes...that would take it toward the central Texas coast if the ridge builds back in, or as far east as the panhandle if a weakness develops to the north. That's IF the GFDL is correct right now, but we all know that's going to change countless times.

Not predicting, just answering a question. I feel like this will be one of those tip of the YP canes that picks a direction and shoots for it, just do not see where that will be a t this point.
