It's another huge HUGE storm that will fizzle out before it gets to you.
It's interesting, but...  i dunno  :|

I don't think this one is going to cause a problem. It's going to be further out to sea than Earl...If anything we'll get good surf.


However, we CAN get 4s and 5s here, and it's happened quite often before. (just not in any of our lifetimes)...So I will continue to wait. :D

yeah, it's not going anywhere near anyplace that anyone gives a shit about.

Though I guess it is mildly interesting simply because of how HUGE it is. Almost as big as Luis was.

ETA: and even if it does take a jag to the west, it's supposed to be down to a 2 shortly after it passes Bermuda.

Yeah, we've been in the 60s for the past few days, eventually the water will catch up.

uhh, you'll need to be alot warmer for alot longer for a hurricane of this size to regain strength once it starts losing it. Water temp in the 60s is still too cold to keep a hurricane well-fueled.

The water temp here is still in the 70s I believe, but that's too cold already. To be fair, I've never seen the Atlantic off the coast of RI get into the 80s, but I know it's highly possible.

yeah, usually gotta be south of Cape May for that but it does happen sometimes in warmer years between Cape Cod and Cape May.

But yeah, usually they start losing steam once they pass north of 30 degrees latitude.

I would just like to point out that this thing is nearing Bermuda.
It is fucking huge. If people live there, they'd better leave.

I've never met anyone from Bermuda that I would consider to be an actual person.

Damn, looks like Karl is going to plow right through Veracruz, and me not able to be there to celebrate my son's first Hurricane.   :sad:

I miss that little future border hopper.  A lot.
