Some attempt at a joke? The WDF has Isabel hitting almost EVERY major US City in the eastern seaboard...

((And in case you took it as a real graph- there isn't a Weddreammod, or a bananarepublic or even a yehaww.... model))

It's obviously total bunk, but they should be reprimanded for keeping the NOAA logo on the map.

LOL....no FU model or Pauk model, but I guess whoever posted it knows Pauk also. Some others here probably recognize the name also.

I personally love the track of the one that has it going to Houston first, New Orleans, slamming by Tampa, hitting Miami, heading out to sea, turning around and hitting Miami again, then tracking up the seaboard hitting Charleston, NC, and ending with NYC and Boston. That's not a hurricane path, that's a frickin' world tour. You need t-shirts for that.

Hey- if we're sending all the way around the US- let's send it on over to ChaserUK so he doesn't have to spend his money to fly over here! ;)


(And yall know I wouldn't wish a hurricane on the poor UK which has never had one as far as I know and would be totally unprepared)

Must be Communist or some other anti-American (or maybe I'm just in the mood to see it that way) -- "FU" model goes straight to NY. The WDF (What Da Fu**? *shrugging shoulders*) model goes all over the place. And two models skirt right over Cuba.


GRRRRRRRRRRRR! :grr:

indeed opera ghost! That said in October 1987 we experienced hurricane force winds - topped out around 115mph - downed 5 million trees and killed 46 people regrettably. It hit the Se of the UK - I was in the SW so missed out THAT time!!! Amazed at how quickly she has intensified however!

They couldnt even take out all of the 5 day area from NHC on this map. Also, yes, I remember Pauk and everything going to SNE. But, its a good laugh at least. Hope no one ends up taking this bozo too seriously. Did anyone count the landfalls...I think I saw 8 different ones, but I might have missed a few.

Reprimanded? a little harsh, dont you think? maybe a tap on the wrist. heck, politicians (and bad weather forecasters) get away with worse than that....

A tap on the wrist would be a reprimand. :wink: I didn't say we had to send the RIAA out after them. :)
