[tommy]

there is a hurricaine which all reprts looks like it will be hitting the pan handle of florida the time of the g tech game this would be a major disaster for nd but much more so for the residents that may be evvected let us all prey for the people but we should also pre for clear skys at bobby dodd

 

[KMac151993]

That seriously scares me that you are preying on people in Georgia.

 

[tommy]

whats that spossed to mean

 

[jjsccer2]

praying is the word you're looking for

 

[KMac151993]

It means please read your original post again before asking that question.

 

[tommy]

lol how stupid am i but you knew what i meant assholes j/k thanks for pointing out my grammer miss ussage but if you read any post i right there are atleast one or to typo's

 

[KMac151993]

I knew what you meant I was just having a little fun with it....I usually let little typo's go as I make them from time to time as well but I know you can do better then that.

 

[tommy]

i know man its all good i know my spelling is sub sub par and it has been for as long as i can remember i really didnt understand what you where saying but now i know it was all in good fun no hard fealins its a week away not much could bring me down at this point except what the original topic of this post was which is the damn weather messing things up

 

[KMac151993]

Ok, so back to your topic....I think it will hold off, I think we will be fine so no need to worry my friend.

 

[tommy]

cool but im a floridian and well you know how we are about our hurricans not hurricons

 

[Óglaigh_na_hÉireann]

I was thinking about this earlier. I don't think it's remotely likely for it to cancel our game, but I do think it could be problematic if there is a lot of rain from it. Bad weather is the under-dog's best ally.

 

[guff]

Could the game be moved to the GA Dome in the event of real nasty weather?

 

[tommy]

hmmm i dont know there probably some money issues with that

 

[tommy]

looks like this storm will be west of atl on friday so it sould be out fof the area in time for the game

 

[Óglaigh_na_hÉireann]

But my guess is there will be some left-over rain from the storm..

then again, I'm from Ohio, what do I know about hurricanes?

It appears that Ernesto has been downgraded to a tropical storm. If it keeps weakening, it should be a non-factor. Suit up boys and kick some Jacket ass!

The storm keeps hooking further and further away from a northwest track and closer to a due north track. That's VERY good news for Atlanta, since it looks like Ernesto is going to stay a good distance away from the game.

That's also bad news for Florida, since it looks like Ernesto is going to take a much shorter path across Cuba now, going directly across instead of angling down the length of the island for a while like they originally thought it would. As a result, it won't weaken as much, and it will have more time out over nice, warm open water to regenerate.

The OFFICIAL forecast now calls for it to hit Key Largo and then the southern tip of the Everglades and move dead-center straight up the peninsula. However, every day for the past week, they've been nudging the forecast further and further east. Personally, I'm banking on it moving right up the eastern coastline with the center staying just offshore all the way up, just like David did in 1979. Guaranteed to affect as many people as possible.

And oh goody, I'm right on the eastern coast. Meh.

I'd BETTER have power back in time for Saturday night, or I'm gonna be cranky...

 

[tommy]

you and me too vince hey hurricaine party on the island

 

[tommy]

[tommy]

they are bringing the shuttle back out to the pad which means ernesto is nothing

 

[rontdtarchala]

hopefully it stays east and continues to track easterly...I will freak the f_ _ck out if it messes up my game day plans...I can't wait any longer man,,,,I'm freakin out man,,,hahaha

 

[Óglaigh_na_hÉireann]

Things are looking okay for the opener. I was worried two days ago, though.

 

[tommy]

yea the good thing is its heading for the east coast so ga is in the clear but the bad thing is its headed right for my house
im on the eastern tip of the cape

 

[tommy]

all tropical storm warnings have been lifted

 

[rontdtarchala]

Very good to hear tommy...we don't want anything bad to happen to anyone...escpecially Domers....

 

[tommy]

rep points for you ront

Well, the Tropical Storm Warning is still in effect, but they dropped the Hurricane Watch this morning. It had looked like Ernesto was gonna take a shortcut across Cuba, but it veered back left again and stayed over land for a while longer. That was enough to disrupt the inner core, and the core really hasn't gotten itself back together until, well, right now. Given another day over water, Ernesto could've easily blown back up into a hurricane.

Fortunately, the center is coming ashore as we speak, so it just plain ran out of time. Good news for all of us here in the Sunshine State. Max sustained winds at 45 miles per hour, gusts up to 55, and a 1-foot storm surge all along the Atlantic coast. We get severe thunderstorms stronger than this once a week down here!

Of course, now I've just cursed myself, and the only tornado that gets spawned by this thing in the entire state will come down right on top of my house.
