After raking billy's old home Cat 3 Hurricane Isaias will come close to Whack9, neoplacebo and me.

Hendersonville, NC Severe Weather Alert

* WHAT...East winds 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 46 mph expected.

I might lose power and/or internet, hopefully briefly.

Meanwhile, the O Reallys are going to get blasted by Tropical Storm Rachel.

Western Mexico is dealing with Cat 4 Hurricane Simon.

Good times.

We're actually getting a real rainy day Sunday. I think January was the last time that happened this year.

That would be weird.

It is a bit weird. Major weather event with about half the rain of a standard South Florida summer day. But there will be skiddings and crashes all over and a few places will have some runoff issues.

Forecasters said Rachel is likely to hit southeast San Diego hardest, with the brunt of the rain falling from Saturday night to Sunday morning. Computer models suggest that this area could receive from 0.40 inches to 1.25 inches of precipitation. In a worst-case scenario, the figure could reach 1.79 inches. San Diego averages 0.4 inches of rain in October, and hasn’t had significant precipitation since May.

Part of the reason for your "skiddings and crashes all over" is that oil builds up on the dry roads and then a little water makes them slicker than the same amount of water would elsewhere. I've experienced this myself in SoCal. Scary.


We may get up to 3 inches here.

Maybe a little flooding, but manageable in WNC.


Hurricane Simon Cat 4 landfall in western Mexico. Wow.

[Vrede too]

We're getting more rain than was forecast, 4-5 inches. The Flash Flood Warnings are getting more insistent.

Power and internet have not flickered yet, knock on wood.

Whack9 got a bunch of rain, too. Idk about neoplacebo.

Hunker down guys - stay dry.

Yesterday was just light rain most of the day along with some moderately high wind. I saw the sun come out about an hour ago for a few minutes but now it's overcast. But no rain today so far unless it came before I got up.

Can you see Rachel's storm surge from your building? The videos look wild. She has set a one-day record for Las Vegas rainfall, flooded the Strip and caused a Montana snowstorm.

We were down at the beach earlier today. Big waves, bad erosion. The lagoon between Carlsbad and Oceanside flooded and closed the Coast highway. Worse residential damage further north, though. Houses crumbling in Newport Beach.

Hurricane Simon Cat 4 landfall in western Mexico. Wow.

It veered offshore a bit. Now, it's aiming directly at the resort city of Mazatlan on Wednesday as a Cat 1. I camped on the beach there decades ago. Probably wouldn't want to do that now. :problem:
