Raptor Witness Posted May 17, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) We're off to the races with the formation of Arthur, which is not expected to be a big deal, wind-wise, but could become a bigger deal, rainfall-wise, somewhere. The forecast models are currently mixed as to what this system will do, and where it will end up.

Raptor Witness Posted May 19, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) I have seen glimpses of a terrible wind, somewhere on earth, unlike any that I’ve ever observed, which leaves very little in its wake, but I have not received a hurricane forecast, so far, this year. I’m not even sure it was a hurricane that I saw, because it was so devastating. I saw a place where the wind had leveled everything in it’s path, above a few inches in height, as far as the eye could see.

I’m not sure, the only clue was some sort of small, red object, that I saw in the green, wind swept grass; which could refer back to an earlier, non-weather forecast about a “glistening, ruby colored candy.” So this may not be weather related, at all, but the continued effects of the Covid-19 storm, which is destroying something in a different way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Witness Posted May 28, 2020 Author #10 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) That Was Fast: Tropical Storm Bertha Develops and Makes Landfall Over South Carolina Weather Underground 5-27-2020 Bertha was upgraded by the NOAA/NWS National Hurricane Center directly from invest to named-storm status at 8:30 am EDT Wednesday, and it made landfall around 9:30 am EDT near Mount Pleasant, NC, just northeast of Charleston. Maximum sustained winds were estimated to be 50 mph at landfall and were kept at that range with the 11 am EDT advisory, when Bertha’s small center was located about 15 miles inland, just west of Georgetown.

This could end up being a flood event for the Mississippi River Valley, given the expected track, which is essentially straight north, into Canada. Calculators are whizzing, as to the total amount of the deluge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor Witness Posted August 22, 2020 Author #19 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Tropical storms Laura and Marco both appear to be a rare dual threat to the U.S., with the potential of seeing a first-ever double hurricane scenario in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time.

Raptor Witness Posted August 23, 2020 Author #21 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Given this highly unusual, crisscrossing path over southern Louisiana, both of which would appear poised to pull water into Lake Pontchartrain in back to back fashion; my advice is to go ahead and evacuate the low lying areas of New Orleans. Better safe than sorry, you weren’t prepared .... especially on the eve of Katrina’s anniversary. Just as Marco is releasing his grip on Lake Pontchartrain, Laura is handed the baton, and you didn’t see the potential danger coming, again? Are newer pumps and bigger and better levees really a panacea for “the poison wind?”(RW’s forecast circa August 2005) Edited August 23, 2020 by Raptor Witness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Witness Posted August 24, 2020 Author #22 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Watching President Trump nervously comment on his spoiled political convention, this evening, reminds me of the Republican national conventions of 7 and 11 years ago, which were also, curiously spoiled by hurricanes. Not to mention what will become the largest wildfire in California history, this week. People who claim that Mother Earth doesn’t have a political bone to pick, aren’t paying attention to the actuarial stats. I don’t know who would ever sell these people a policy for their plight.
