Fishhead Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Florence looks like a disaster of epic proportions, with models calling for a stall at or around landfall. I've heard it called "East Coast Harvey" today. Wouldn't wish that on anyone anywhere. My phone has been melting with calls for standby, deployement, staging, opportunity left and right. But... The wife recently acquired her adjuster's license, and we'll be staying right here in TX working in the same office. We're about to see how much we love each other lol. She's usually with me on deployments, but now she'll be with me 24/7 for God knows how long. After a few weeks, she may discuss with management the chance they can get me out of there on a field deployment haha! Those in the path of Florence, please be prepared above all, stay vigilant and take this one seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachsie Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 They just need to stay away from Florida this month. I also saw there is a potential for development in the Gulf that they predict to go towards Texas. Also, I saw something off coast of Africa but Weather channel didn't say anything about that one - hope it goes out to sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Me Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I have seen the predictions of stalling around landfall and my first thought was of Harvey. I would not wish that on anyone. Anyone in the target are with boats needs to evacuate with their boat. It could be the only way they get back in for a while. I hope not, but it does not look good. With a lot of tropical depressions forming, September could be a long month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the same for Gustav, and luckily, were not needed. These men and women use a lot of resources taking care of others, God bless them. This one is worrisome, looking like it might stall and dump Harvey kind of rains on NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have family in Houston, and a friend that rode and worked with the Cajun Navy after Harvey. I really hope this does not do the same, but rainfall forecast is 2 FEET of rain. That is not good. I hope any members that are anywhere near the path of this stay safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the latest on that one from 1:00 PM today: "1. Showers and thunderstorms over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and western Cuba, associated with a surface trough, are showing some signs of organization. This system is forecast to move slowly northwestward near the Yucatan Peninsula on Tuesday with limited development. Upper-level winds are forecast to become more conducive for development on Wednesday when the system moves over the southern Gulf of Mexico, and a tropical depression could form on Thursday or Friday while the disturbance moves across the western Gulf of Mexico. Interests across northeastern Mexico and the coast of Texas and Louisiana should monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall and gusty winds are likely over western Cuba through Tuesday. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent."

Herb Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 While Florence is parked, it could unload up to 32 inches of rain onto parts of North Carolina and Virginia, which usually only see around 40 to 50 inches in a given year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
