ATL GUSTAV: Tropical Depression - Discussion

[AZRainman]

No doubts about an eye now.

[Just Joshing You]

That isn't an eye, it's just a lack-of convection.

You stole my line! I wanted to be the first to post that lol!!!

Anyways, this is really bad. I think a Cat 2 is possible by tonight.

Why the sad face? An eye would be a bad thing right now.

I'd rather a storm have an eye, that way it doesn't run blindly into things. I would rather it know full well what is ahead of it that way it can turn around with his kilt between his legs and dissipate.

Let the media chaos begin. Big weekend for many Gulf Coast residents as well as authorities. This could be bad.

Home depot and lowes ARE LOVING LIFE right now!

Yes but...I have a feeling Gus has 20/20 vision and knows exactly where he wants to go and he is taking steroids......

Then I want to call the IOC and get this guy banned from the Atlantic. Steroids are not cool!

My friend works at the Kindwood Walmart and he said that they are selling water and batteries like nothing. They have ordered extra water and batteries and should arrive tomorrow. My parents over in The Woodlands went to by supplies and they said that batteries and water were in short supply!

After this hunter leaves Gus, how long before the next flight?

I agree because steroids can also lead to roid rage!

A NOAA2 flight is scheduled to depart in a few minutes.

[Just Joshing You]

AZRainman wouldn't know a joke if it jumped up and slapped him lol.

[ColdFusion]

So of the 6 models listed on wunderground, only TWO are hitting LA now. Thats huge right? I mean yeah, I know they can shift, but seems for days LA has been in the bullseye, but maybe now that is changing?

Thank you. I imagine soon they will be almost constant.

[weatherguru18]

My cousin and her husband and kids are leaving Galveston tomorrow. They aren't taking any chances. They are boarding up tomorrow. In the event of a landfall, their house would be under 10' of water.

[inda_iwall]

Now correct me if I am wrong, but the hurricane is a physical force right, like a spinning wheel somewhat. And when it comes against land such as Cuba, wont the land slow down the first leading edge causing it to take a right? Just like a spinning top hitting a different surface? So with that said, why do none of the models or anything take that into consideration, did that not just happen with Fay? And with just a small deviation down over cuba will result in a big deviation in track, like say 200-300 miles east of where it is?

[Just Joshing You]

I think it is only a research mission. The next recon is tonight I think.
