Headed to the DR in a month, looks like this may smack them straight on. Here’s hoping this fizzles out...

Has it hitting the DR and dropping it back to a depression. Projections are unclear yet whether it will consolidate/re-intensify once it comes back over water, but as of now it look like it will be a weak storm by the time it reaches Florida, if that is where it ends up.

Noticed that the HWF1 has it at a cat 3 5.5 days from now. If you look at the spaghetti track for that model that is because that model has it not hitting land, and staying in the water to the east of the DR and West of Puerto Rico.
That would put it at a cat 3, 2 days out from the Florida coast and heading towards southeast Florida. Let's hope that one doesn't happen. |

Well, at least if Dorian swings a bit north as a Cat 1/2 the west half of PR will only lose power for 3-4 weeks.

I've probably lived through 15 hurricanes and the aftermath each time has been palm fronds on my driveway & occasionally a downed power line. Yes there can be devastating storms here like Harvey & Katrina but they are few and far between. |

download the image convert it to a format arfcom can host host it on arfcom images change over time, so the image isn't going to be the same after the next update occurs no body will know what you were talking about after the images have updated a few times |

Where hurricanes don't hit, you get blizzards and ice storms, or earthquakes, or volcanos, droughts, floods, locusts, tourists, illegal immigrants, disease, pestilence, famine, gay pride parades...all sorts of nonsense. You choose your environmental threat. Every place has one. What's yours? I've been living down here for more than 40 years. I've never had storm damage to the house despite several hurricanes. I've slept in my own bed in comfort with 100 MPH hurricane winds over my roof. I've only actually had to do that ONCE. More houses have been burned down due to lightning, fireworks, and smoking in bed in my county than have been destroyed due to hurricanes in the last 40 years. The threat is really rather low. It's just sensational when it comes. |

Ok, I just got back home from Harbor Freight. I bought a Predator 2000 inverter generator as a supplement to our Generac 6500, and I have a question.
Somewhere lurking deep in GD there is a GIANT generator thread. In that thread, someone posted that you can buy some type of adapter so the Predator can operate from an external 5 gallon can. Where can I buy this adapter if anyone knows? Also, do you like your little Predator 2000? Have you had good service out of it? |

the system is most likely going to be a tropical storm, when it hits florida.
the local media are all in hurricane hysteria mode, telling everyone to prepare for the worse 
scary stories sell. I know, some tropical storms cause problems, like ts faye did, but I don't see much from this one, except possible tornados |
