RTR Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I see you live in Florida’s big bend. I’m in Gulf Shores. Sally turned our way this morning. Reminds my of when my parents lived in coastal Mississippi back when Ivan hit (2004?) It was headed to Biloxi and at the last minute turned dead East and hammered Gulf Shores and Pensacola. They have the eye of Sally hitting Gulfport/Biloxi now as they had it forecast during Ivan. I hope Sally doesn’t do the same thing Ivan did. At least Sally is a cat1, Ivan was a cat 3 if I remember correctly. They’re forecasting a lot of rain for us since it’s slow moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 Living a little south of the bend now on the coast. Recall Ivan well as did several service calls at the time along coast near that area. It was pretty bad for sure. Seems they always bear watching. Some places still reeling from Laura, of course. Nice area there, hope all in path well. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted September 14, 2020 Moderators Share Posted September 14, 2020 And with the slow speed they are thinking maby a 3 before it get's on land. They said the lack of steering winds is what slowed it down, and they are thinking the high pressure keeping it from going North will break up sometime tomorrow moving it closer to the Ala/Miss line or even Mobile Bay. ? In other words like most storms they are not positive of much. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 When they use the word meander at that noaa hurricane website when it's close? I know that can aggravate the ones that breathe salt air year round. Time for a road trip? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We take a road trip if it is bigger than a 1 or 2, depending on the size, some are much bigger than others. We had planned to stay for this one, unless it got close to a 3 and depending on other things. We left for Katrina to North Louisiana and came back the next day, after seeing what happened and talking to those who did stay we were glad we left. We were very surprised to find we had no damage with winds that got to 140 and all the damage around, barns, roofs almost no power poles left between here and the interstate which is 10 miles. I would love to see it but not enough to stay, think of what Ron White says. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 It's moving so incredibly slow. Those are the ones that just dump massive amounts of rain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost a repeat so far, like you said at least it's not a 3. Wind have slowed down to 85, that's a very good thing and it's a small storm so far. Be careful . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 So she got real close overnight, pulled us in some mid fifties for this morning... nice. They have the flood watches all over the multiple sites I have in the weather folder for Thurs-Fri here. Hope all of you just have some pick-up and raking outside to do tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
