Thread: Storm is starting to sound bad.

A famous News Report out of Port Charlotte, FL back in 04, had this girl in front of a 7-11, and she said they had sold out of beer and condoms.
So, make sure you have beer and condoms.

Sounds like Jimmy Buffet's Hurricane Party, lets get drunk and screw.

[size=12pt][font=comic sans ms]Well, got the neighbors’ and my shutters in place! Not sure what’s worse; waiting until the last minute and puttin’ ‘em up in the rain and wind or puttin’ them up in the heat with love-bugs crawling all over me.

ISAAC HAS MOVED A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF PREVIOUS PROJECTIONS AND
CENTER FIXES YIELD A 6- TO 12-HOUR AVERAGED MOTION OF 295/15. THE
TRACK FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE CHALLENGING. THE DYNAMICAL MODELS
SHOW THE TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE GRADUALLY TURNING TO THE RIGHT
AND HEADING FOR A BREAK IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. HOWEVER...THERE
ARE SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MOST RELIABLE MODELS AS TO
WHERE ISAAC MIGHT CROSS THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. THE U.K. MET.
OFFICE AND ECMWF MODELS ARE ABOUT 300 N MI TO THE EAST OF THE GFS
AT LANDFALL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE GFS ENSMEBLE
MEMBERS ARE EAST OF THE GFS CONTROL TRACK. BECAUSE OF THE WIDE
MODEL SPREAD...THERE CONTINUES TO BE GREATER THAN USUAL TRACK
FORECAST UNCERTAINTY.

THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO FOCUS ON THE EXACT
FORECAST TRACK DUE TO FORECAST UNCERTAINTIES AND THE FACT THAT
SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS EXTEND WELL AWAY FROM THE CENTER.

THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK AND WIND RADII NECESSITATE THE ISSUANCE
OF A HURRICANE WARNING FOR THE NORTHERN GULF COAST AT THIS TIME.

Saw on twitter that Baldwin county will issue a voluntary evac at 8am mon, thank goodness it's voluntary

I SAW MANDITORY!!!! So of 98 @ 8AM MIKE

It keeps moving West, so unless it makes a sharp right turn to the East... We're just going to see strong Tropical Storm force wind/rain.
So we aren't evacuating .

They don't actually force you too leave do they, it's pretty obvious this morning where it's headed

lots of dry air to the norht south and now even the east of the eye....keep praying that dry air finds a way into the center of the storm...i think it is going to struggle to get much past hurricane strength before tomorrow.....only bad part is it is slowing down..

A good look at the wave runup at the Gulf Shores Public Beach from the WKRG Gulf Shores cam @

The time of astronomical high tide is still a couple of hours away.

I hope the water and waves don't get much higher!

I rode over to the beach and the water is only two feet above at the Cotton Bayou launch.At the beach the Gulf is kind of pissed off but not too bad,maybe 12ft.
