I don't know if you were being serious or snarky when you posted that Kerouac. If it was meant to amuse then I and possibly others take offense at your disparaging and judgemental tone. Sometimes, you amaze me, casimira.
I generally think that you are a sensible person, but if you are aligning yourself with "spiritual authorities" who seem to think that people need to be told when to stay safe rather than using their own judgment, I am rather dismayed. The fact that an archbishop believes that the church is so powerful that the faithful are obsessed with going to mass even if they will risk being killed rather than committing a mortal sin shows how out of touch certain religions are with real life. Even the Muslim religion has always said that if people cannot respect prayer times, dietary restrictions or other rules, it is perfectly all right as long as they make up for it at a later date. Apparently, there are some Catholics who think that they are going to hell if they break any rule, even if the situation is out of their control.
Shame on them.
Meanwhile, it looks like Nate is going to Mississippi and Alabama rather than New Orleans, so you will be able to attend mass.

Okay, now Ophelia has developed in the mid-Atlantic but will not go anywhere, so what comes after that?

Yes, you did. |

Actually, they skip Q, U, X and Z.
After Ophelia comes Philippe and then Rina.

And in 2005 (the year of both Katrina and Wilma), they ran out of Roman alphabet letters and started in on the Greek alphabet, naming storms Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma, going into the new year, well past the usual November 30th “end” of hurricane season.
We will return to Sanibel in November for the first time since Irma passed by to the south with a last minute reprieve with a turn inland. We expect to have a lot of yard debris to clean up, but hope there are no repairs needed. We’d also like to not experience any hurricanes in person.

Ophelia, you're breaking my heart... Isn’t it Cecilia who’s breaking your heart? And shaking your confidence daily? Close enough. And it was always shaking my condiments daily. I'm down on my knees. I'm begging your fleas to come home, come on home. |

So, Ophelia has been pushing summer weather into France as it climbs the Atlantic, but it is also now a category 3 storm as it heads to Ireland.

Not a good day to be in Ireland.
And on the 30th anniversary of the huge UK storm which knocked over 15 million trees.

Today hurricane season officially comes to an end.
This season was the deadliest, most costly, devastating hurricane season on record.

It looks like it is starting here...and the Test Match cricket starts tomorrow in Adelaide.
Initial Flood Watch for South Australia
Issued at 12:25 pm CDT on Thursday 30 November 2017
Flood Watch Number: 1
Localised flooding is possible across much of South Australia
A low pressure trough is expected to deepen as it moves across the state from
Thursday to Saturday. This will result in the development of widespread
thunderstorms and periods of heavy rain across a broad area from the Eastern
Eyre Peninsula stretching across the Flinders, south of the North East
Pastoral, Mid North, Yorke Peninsula, Adelaide and the Mount Lofty Ranges,
Riverland and Murraylands. [basically the whole state]
Daily falls of around 50 mm are possible. Rainfall totals between Thursday to
Saturday may reach 100 mm.
From later Thursday to Saturday areas of local flooding and water level rises
in rivers and creeks are likely in the catchments covered by this flood watch.
However the State of Victoria is copping it worse...3 months rain in 3 days and severe electrical storms.

I see that Alberto has jumped the gun a bit on the season. Bad omen?

Post by Kimby on May 28, 2018 15:36:43 GMT
Alberto is a tropical storm, not a hurricane, though he is a big rainmaker and parts of the SE don’t need any more rain. Sanibel is emerging from drought, so glad she’s on the fringes getting some much needed moisture.

An independent study has determined the death toll of hurricane Maria last year to be about 4,600. The official death toll was 64. How convenient!

"Bud" is brewing in the Gulf off of the coast of Mexico.
I hope it's no more than a huge rain event. No too huge though...

We are now officially under a Tropical Storm Watch. Likely a huge rain event. Expected to enter into the Gulf in the next 2 to 3 days after it passes over Cuba and South Florida.
It's not packing too much wind but a lot of rain.....

OH JEEZUMS!!! We are way above the average rainfall for the month of August alone, the ground is sodden and currently there are huge fuck ups problems with the pumping stations throughout the city.
Friday's huge isolated downpour had me navigating home avoiding low spots just in my neighborhood alone and we're on high ground.
If this system which is currently slow moving enters the Gulf as predicted and even remotely stalls out for even a day, we are truly f**cked.
The wind event type of storms generally just blow on through.
It's the slow moving not even hurricane status systems that reek the most havoc much like the system that f'd up Baton Rouge last year and then following that Harvey which inundated Houston. Those systems gratefully passed us by.
Here's hoping they pass us up but, with no accompanying wind to move them along, some place along this corridor is going to flood.
