‘Canes
Mammatus clouds over NY
No, I don’t know what causes this- can’t be good though. Pray for those poor folks in the path of Sandy. 00
Around and around
Izzy just sits there and spins, and southern Louisiana gets more and more water pumped on it. One levee has already failedbeen overtopped, but the dry air mass is still supposed to mitigate the very worst case scenarios. It still sucks to be there now I’m sure. As I said before, praying is about all … Continue reading
Oh boy
It just keeps getting better- per Brendan Loy (careful loading that link, it has a ton of animated gifs that will slow your PC to a crawl)- With the eye remaining over water, Isaac still has a chance to maintain its strength, or even perhaps strengthen a little, for quite some time. Even once it … Continue reading
Wet and getting wetter

As an aside, it looks like Isaac may be upgraded to a hurricane — or else very, very nearly … Continue reading

This can’t be good
Brendan Loy has a disturbing post up- In a bizarrely low-key press conference that seemed more focused on calming residents’ “anxiety” and vaguely telling them to “be prepared” (and then making of a series of mundane announcements about municipal matters like trash collection and parking restrictions) than on advising them to take specific, concrete steps … Continue reading
We’re All Gonna Die!
…not really. But it should get a little exciting around here for a while. I’m going to blog it as much as I can- I’m sure at one point I’ll find out how well I can blog from my phone. Woohoo! Actually a Cat 2 is not that big a deal, a messy PITA but … Continue reading
