October 28, 20205 yr From God's (NHC's) mouth to our ears: Quote Zeta still has a few hours to intensify before it begins to move over the cooler waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico, and southwesterly shear is likely to increase by the time the center reaches the coast. Even if a little weakening begins later today, however, Zeta should maintain hurricane strength through landfall. The official intensity forecast is near the high end of the model guidance. So, high Cat 1 (that's the "high end of the model". Close enough for horseshoes or hurricane intensity forecasts. Potent sucker but not in the same league as the others, which I know for that area doesn't mean squat. Still it's better than "worse than the others."
October 28, 20205 yr I'm shocked at how fast he/she/it moved across the Gulf. That has to be some kind of record going from Southern Coast to Northern Coast in, what, 24 hours or less?
October 28, 20205 yr Is there anywhere to watch coverage? None of the cable news stations seem to think this is worth covering and local Atlanta news isn’t ready to go wall-to-wall yet (but schools are canceled tomorrow). Youtubetv doesn’t have the weather channel.
October 28, 20205 yr It's 2020. The chances that we end up with an ice stormicane at some point are non-zero.She was my favorite dancer at Spearmint Rhino.

October 30, 20205 yr Finally got an update on when we should have power restored: Monday at 11pm. That will be four days and 19 hours. Generators sold out everywhere. 2020 has managed to ruin Halloween on a Saturday.
October 30, 20205 yr 2020 has managed to ruin Halloween on a Saturday. Halloween, full moon, no power, everyone with lit candles all over the house...2020...can we really rule out demonic invasion? Might be a pretty epic Halloween

October 30, 20205 yr For some inexplicable reason, my wife bought 10 bags of ice for a party tomorrow night. I filled two fridge-freezers and my deep freeze. If you can get to Austin in the next few hours I have three bags you can take
October 31, 20205 yr Hurrah. 2.5 days later, and 4 hours after I went and got a generator, the power is back.

November 3, 20205 yr Well damn. I have a lot of family in Honduras (San Pedro Sula and Tegu). Hopefully as a depression when it gets there there aren't a bunch of mudslides and flooding.

November 5, 20205 yr Watch your cornholes SW Louisiana. You just know this thing is coming towards you.
November 5, 20205 yr After Laura I told my wife that I wasn't taking the plywood off of our windows (some of the south-facing) until Christmas. Looks like that proclamation still stands.

November 6, 20205 yr 10 or 15 years ago, wasn't there a hurricane that went across Florida, and then turned completely around and did a victory lap? This is kinda like that.
November 7, 20205 yr Damnit, water around our house is still up quite a bit from the storms that have come around the tip of Florida the last couple months. Rainfall numbers coming along with this one are concerning.
November 9, 20205 yr At this point, I won't be surprised if a frozen hurricane hits NYC on New Year's and spawns a sharknado.
