Hey Mari. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday it's forecast to make this horse shoe turn out into the Atlantic Ocean. Strange. Where is it going to end up? BF:hug::hug::hug:

no tropical features
 

It might do a complete turn BUT
it will not be a tropical storm.

In other words it will not have the features of a tropical storm -- no low pressure center, no wind rotation, . . .

What is a Tropical Storm? (with pictures)

WOW. I can't believe that! What a moronic a-hole! Matthew is going to impact so many in the US…
And its potential path must be so fascinating to weather watchers, too.

I can understand how it could be hard to strike the right balance between being prepared and going overboard. Having a large and unpredictable storm like this heading your way must provoke a lot of anxiety :hug:
I hope that you, your husband, and your property will all be safe :hug:

I have been watching the news about the cyclone with some alarm.

I hope that all of you guys stay safe.

Kay,

The weather man was doing his job.
There has been talk that BF mentioned probably coming from the non-local news stations about
the storm doing its thing and then coming back in a 360 degree turn to start over again.

It IS a weird to see the possible patterns in the future but that
is NOT ANYTHING that the locals are concerned about.
=-=-=-=-
They are telling us what is happening in "real time" at this exact moment and then
predicting based on satellite what will happen by 9:00 pm,
10:00 pm tonight, . . .
. . . early morning weather on Friday. . . . even being so
local as to talk about certain neighborhoods.

. . . about how many (very small number) of homes are already without power
and how the power company is working on them now.

We are getting good information.

M

Thank you, Kiwi, and everyone else. :grouphug:

thinking of you mari.

I looked at the weather charts, and there is another hurricane out in the Atlantic, but it's not going to affect us I don't believe. It's called "Nicole"
Both Matthew, and Nicole are being hit by a large cold front coming in from the Northwest. Then a second cold front is going to affect Matthew in a day, or two, pushing it out to sea.

Matthew may be pushed down to the Bahamas, but it's only forecast to be a tropical storm then.

We'll see what they say Friday morning.

Mari I hope that you keep electricity through the whole %*"#!! thing. BF:hug::hug::hug:

BF,

We kept electricity. :)

A few times, the computers made a blink/squeak sound when the
electricity sort of went out for less than a second.

Every thing went well.
I am glad we planned well too.


M

I'm so happy you planned well, and weren't hit hard :)
