how do you get that on google earth?
Tree falls on house in summer thunderstorm- ya pay yer deductable, all's cool.
Same tree, same damage, during a named storm watch/warning? You gotta pay the "hurricane" deductable first, which could be ten times as much as the regular deductable.
Zombie alert back to code null. Rabies shot still on schedule.
I have six little mini "Hurricanes" to tear my house up. When 95L was forming near hear they all went to acting crazy for a couple days, the Greyhound joined them in the fun.
same here in LA aqua....named storm deductible kicks in.
You obviously don't live in FL.
Is it a weather event? Yes. Watch the weather, but this should not be something raising alarm.
This is from a storm (that's 150mph anchorage) that came through my neighborhood about a month ago.
95L is not going to produce that. Not even close.
If someone is not watching the weather and knowing that they are going to get some rain and wind, well, tough.
I guess the bottom line is, it is not something that needs to be prepared for.
Anyone in a hurricane effected area that is "really" concerned about this needs to move.
Looks nice, though. ;)
NASA Chief: Next Frontier Better Relations With Muslim World
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.
Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA's orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him. He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.
"When I became the NASA administrator -- or before I became the NASA administrator -- he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering," Bolden said in the interview.
The NASA administrator was in the Middle East last month marking the one-year anniversary since Obama delivered an address to Muslim nations in Cairo. Bolden spoke in June at the American University in Cairo -- in his interview with Al Jazeera, he described space travel as an international collaboration of which Muslim nations must be a part.
"It is a matter of trying to reach out and get the best of all worlds, if you will, and there is much to be gained by drawing in the contributions that are possible from the Muslim (nations)," he said. He held up the International Space Station as a model, praising the contributions there from the Russians and the Chinese.
However, Bolden denied the suggestion that he was on a diplomatic mission -- in a distinctly non-diplomatic role.
"Not at all. It's not a diplomatic anything," he said.
He said the United States is not going to travel beyond low-Earth orbit on its own and that no country is going to make it to Mars without international help.
Bolden has faced criticism this year for overseeing the cancellation of the agency's Constellation program, which was building new rockets and spaceships capable of returning astronauts to the moon. Stressing the importance of international cooperation in future missions, Bolden told Al Jazeera that the moon, Mars and asteroids are still planned destinations for NASA.
I promise not to go off topic again.
Be very "Carful What You Ask For"
It might be more than we all want....
LOL
Taco :o)
I'm going with CosmicEvents position, though.
Surface obs. No one really knows though. Another interesting one.
you know, they say animals are a good gauge for storms.
96L's actually becoming better organized. 95L's at a red alert right now too.
They are, I trust the critters far more than I trust my local weather people. They don't need fancy devices to sense pressure drops.
Its in the Null spot as to Forward motion,
. seems the tightening of the Wind Field or circ is keeping it there as well.
hahaha good point
amen to that...my two dogs always let us know when the barometer drops...
This isn't good news for south Florida. Why hire if the oil is not on its way? Could all this storm activity have something to do with this, or is it merely political?
BP Hiring 300 S. Floridians To Build Oil Response Team
ahhh...tropical rain bands...and warm wet nearly firm land to sweeten it's path across the bayous...
How do they let you know?
watches/warnings have their good points and bad points.
I prefer picking apart the macrame of information here on WU, than being fed the stuff they feed the sheeple.
I've been watching the western side of it move my way all day. I'm amazed it held together all the way from Naples
Goes13 low cloud product shows slow westerly drift as well...
they float.

Various ways. The wild ones do as well, watch the birds. When they go silent and disappear, it might be time to hunker down. The domestics tend to act distressed, like they instinctively know they should be running. Dog paces from room to room and wants to be as close to me as possible. The cats pace and meow and run around like loons.
HAH!
Good point.
See NHC has alot to think about :0)
Here it is:
