Yeah, Karl if I was gonna trust anyone it'd have to be someone old enough to have lived through the '38, '44 and '54 storms - I only qualify on one out of the three and my memories of Carol are still pretty vivid considering I was only 5 at the time

In all seriousness - which is fairly rare for me - can't say I like the predicted track going inside of Bermuda and now the high to our west looks to be stalling......gotta check a couple of weather maps

Worst case would be the cold front to our west slowing down allowing Bill to pass in between that one and the one responsible for our hot weather off the coast, funneling it this way

At the very least they're calling for swells between 12-20' by Sunday

I'll listen to the NHC morning report, but I may be moving up to DefCon 2 as of now for the storm - thank God we had a long-overdue new roof put on the house last week, just hope it stays there...

If nothing else at this point, it's at least worth making sure you're prepared - better safe than sorry

You've gotta admit, it's been a strange summer weather-wise...

Hmmm...I noticed the old greenhorn up the street was out early this AM doubling up the lines on his tomato plants...
