According to that projection, it looks like Nate will get here (southeastern PA) sometime Monday afternoon or evening, with some wind and hopefully a lot of rain. We need it; it's tinder-dry here right now.

Fingers crossed, hoping things don't get too bad for NOLA and the Louisiana and W. Florida coasts...

 

Looks like I'm doomed.

I'm sure @#12 and I feel the same way: better you than me...

Good luck.

"I'll huff and puff" Stay safe.

Good luck.

This is by far the most self centered thing I've seen you type.

So you got hit and now everybody else is on its own?

Good luck.

I have a bad case of, "Been there, done that". If you don't mind, I'll wait for next year to do an encore.

Ease up. A hurricane that's gone across 2 or 3 states is nothing but a good rain.

That's what we were told with hurricane Gilbert, back in '88 ... see what happened:

Yebbut, Nate has to go through the Appalachian mountains and more than 1000 miles over land before it gets to Pa. or Va. I feel safe if a hurricane has to cross less than 200 miles of Florida to get at me, and Florida is basically a big, flat sandbar. Maximum altitude is a little over 200 feet.

Yikes! That's one angry looking storm! At least three boiling points and the shape that would be a hurricane if it didn't run into land. I hope the people in New Orleans learned not to keep their generators in the basement after Katrina opened the dikes.

I'll grant you that 1,000 miles is quite a damper for a tropical storm... but Gilbert did go through the Sierra Madre before hitting us!

It looks like you got your river bed rinsed out.
I just sat through a Cat. 3 and didn't even lose a shingle. If I had even 200 miles of Florida to slow down a hurricane I wouldn't bother to lower the TV antenna.

You got that right... this is how said "river" (it's called the "Santa Catarina") normally looks!

There's another one brewing in the mid Atlantic ... further north.....than the others this year.

It didn't seem that long ago that I saw Nate at Cozumel and it's at almost ashore in LA.
