Try this math:

Bourbon + kid = 8 hours of sleep

Just a thimble-full will do the trick. Either that or she'll drunk post all over here and Facebook.

So we are about to get royally slammed by a hurricane here in Daytona. Looks like we're facing the prospect of a Cat 3 being just off the coast on Thursday. It also seems to be tracking right up the coast towards the Northeast too.

Yeah, the track has been inching a bit to the east each time it's updated. Right now, we're JUST outside the cone. That damn thing has a knack of moving back and forth. This one could be a nasty storm too - an outside chance of reaching CAT-4 status if it stays off the coast of Florida.

We're going to get blasted by storm surge either way. The EOC has already been activated and we're being told by our supervisors to expect massive damage, extended power outages, etc.

Sgt PSN · August 22, 2011, 10:10:12 PM

Damn, that sucks. On the plus side, your power will be out so we don't have to listen to you bitch about it.

WINNING!

Is Maryland going to get wet?

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 22, 2011, 10:33:34 PM

Looks like it's going to hit the RDU area pretty solidly.

PhillyPhreak54 · August 22, 2011, 10:43:28 PM

Still not a drop here....maybe it will turn this way, we need it

MDS · August 22, 2011, 10:57:49 PM

Yeah, it's looking more like it will hit somewhere in the Carolinas as a CAT-3 (winds 111-130 mph), and it will be a nasty one. Rome's probably going to be looking at a CAT-4 (winds 131-155 mph), but hopefully far enough offshore to somewhat minimize his damage.

only if you live in the philly area, otherwise it's your fault for not living here and deserve the inclimate weather.

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 23, 2011, 06:25:18 PM

Looks to be making landfall in eastern NC and shouldn't bother us much. Good news for me.

Munson · August 24, 2011, 01:19:47 AM

Most of the models are showing it'll prob be a Cat2 or a high Cat1 by the time it gets to the Delaware Valley. That would be ridiculous...I think the first storm to still be a hurricane by the time it got here since I've been alive. The last one I can remember that was still relatively strong when it got here was Floyd back in 1999. But I think that had already been downgraded to a Tropical Storm at that point.
