Danny Prediction Thread
 

OK all you amateur meteorologists... looks like we have a newly developed Tropical Storm- Danny. The early reports have this system hitting anywhere from the Carolinas to Canada. The possibility exists that a significant tropical storm or perhaps even a minimal hurricane could plow into Cape Cod by this weekend. Could this be another passing blow ala "Bill" or a complete miss or a dead-on bullseye hit? Whattaya all think? Will this be the storm that kicks the fall run into high gear or just weed everything up to unfishable conditions?

Let the predictions, the hype and the fun begin. :jump1:

Danny'll be barely a one bottle gale...:smokin:

Minor hurricane making landfall between newport and the canal !!! No work for me saturday is my prediction ( a la crack dream probally )

Complete and utter mayhem...dog and cats living together, pluggers and eelers joining in a group hug, boatmen fishing the surf...

i think some day that the really BIG one will change the whole topography of Cape Cod so bad that they will have to
change all the maps. :devil2:

I am with Cheferson with this one, it ain't no crack dream, maybe the not working part for him. But its a baby hurricane

I'm hoping it does nothing. It has the potential for me at least to completely ruin and an already abysmal season.

Living on LI sound, is it selfish to hope it takes out LI?

the above size, should cover Danny...as of now...

Striper fishermen all over New England will gather plovers and keep them warm under lightbulbs in cardboard boxes lined with newspaper...until the danger has passed and they can be returned to their exclusive grounds.

RIRock's prediction sure to go wrong...

Strong tropical storm. Below Hurr. strength
Highest gust in RI will be on the Block at 50kt. Highest sustained in SoCo will be 30-40kts.
Depending on the track MV or ACK will hit 60kt gusts.

Minor shoreline erosion, 2-3ft of storm surge for one tidal cycle. Erosion will be a bit more than if this was the first storm of the season, but not drastic.

MISS ><>< :smash:

I predict more surfing at MTK.
And more surfcasters crying up a storm. :rotf2:

Just 1 nip or the whole lot?

I predict I do not care! Storm, no storm...it is what it is!

Believe it or not, I think I sold my boat. Good thing I kept all my waders, Korkers and suft rods.

Let me guess...you bought some new ping irons and a bunch of those naked lady tees...:laugha:

No, PI is the most impulsive man on earth :D

hey what's that honey bottle there?

Lessea - this should update the image from NOAA's NHC by refrehsing every few hours:

And the current path as of 4 PM Wednesday is attached so we can watch the changes.

Well I guess I won't be riding the motorcycle this weekend :wall:

totaly up to the "needs" of the individual... i have more than one custumer, who would call that portion.... "breakfast"...on any given day..

American Honey, by Wild Turkey, used to come in a nice package, when it was just called Wild Turkey Liqueur..
Wild Turkey based Honey Liqueur...
Great in Tea, I would imagine...:jump1:

i'll see if they sell nips... of it...

not much of a drinker anymore.... for health reasons

Suppose I should put gas in the chainsaw this time.

I predict it slams NC and creates a lotta rain for New England :biglaugh:

I dunno--the westernmost projected track would have it just brushing Hatteras. Hurricanes don't lose a lot of strength by just brushing the coast. It'll have plenty of time to regain strength over the Gulf Stream on its way up from there.

I can see the eye of this thing tracking right up the Canal.

I going to say a little left of that track giving the coastal areas the brunt of whatever wind he has. Gonna be fun to watch the next coupla days.

no

From my extensive past personal experiences with these storms I figure that I'll wind up good and screwed out of another productive weekend. Karl, why is your Wild Turkey pink on my 'puter?
