It's like they're willing it to come so the ravaging can be blamed on nobody but Trump.
Ready the nukes! ;D

Headline says growing to Cat4...graphic doesn't go higher than 3...and drops to a 1 over land.

Maybe all you can take from this is Florida is the target.

As with any storm...people should know if they can stay and are prepared or if they should get up and go...but as we all know not everybody came make those intelligent decisions are rely on others to make them for them (a state of being I frankly cannot understand or relate to)...so it will be a mixed bag...and with the usual suspects blaming others like Trump for their own errors and inadequacies.
When in doubt, GTFO!
We shall see...
As for ideas to stop it...having shot down other ideas...and past ideas like seeding with dry ice (1947) never really replicated on a large scale...why not gather as much dry ice as possible and blanket that sucker with it and see if we can starve the beast?
-
A small tactical nuke, targeting the eye should provide a sufficient shock wave to collapse the eye and cause the remainder of the storm to dissipate.
Just sayin.
-
Yeah...the presscorpse had fun teasing POTUS over that thought...though those he posed it too thought it a good question in terms of defeating the storm...but the radioactive impact would be a PR nightmare even if not a real one...and would have to be done well out at sea away from populated land areas so enough time elapsed to dissipate. And how many times can that be tried before it is detrimental and do we really want to give other powers that license? But if messing with the heat/moisture/air fueling the storm is the key...why can't coordinated multiple MOAB air-bursts be tried to the same effect?
::whatgives::

Might be taking a right turn...raise Hell along the Eastern seaboard and flood inland areas with torrential rain.
Carolina's look to be on the spot now...

I don't think any wolf is big enough to blow JF's new palace down.

Hopefully inland enough...flooding and tornado action to look out for though. Sounds like this sucker is staying mostly out to sea and expected to race up from Florida to the Carolina's. Staying at to sea (the further the better) would be good...and they weatherlings are saying guiding currents have stalled and it is it's own momentum and moss moving it along and how it interacts with that high-pressure currently over Virginia.

The stall really buggered the Bahamas....they got chewed.

Were far enough away from the shoreline to be more than safe at this point but me being me I still bought fuel and fire up the generators just in case a wolf does show up. Tomorrow I'll pull the plugs on the generators and clean them if not replace them just for sh*ts and giggles.
Having been through 5 of these suckers I have learned not to take my eyes off them.

Here's a pig that built the strongest house of all.

Pretty awesome power, these storms.

Nope, access to high ground or a good sized hunk of debris or loose boat or something can take your perfect hut out.
5 dead per this report - https://apnews.com/02c093eb6ce24d24a959e6d87088590a (https://apnews.com/02c093eb6ce24d24a959e6d87088590a)
Not like these things are little things to blow out as quick as they come...

...and this one likes the slow grind.

I don't envy y'all on the east coast. Mild climate was one of the things my folks considered when they moved to Seattle. Too bad they forgot about volcanoes!

Still lookin' like a coast crawler...

Something like 40 hrs of 140+ mph winds. I can't even imagine.....

I thought you had a mother-in-law that likes to visit for extended periods? Or I am mistaken...either way, almost the same thing, eh? ::rimshot::
And people are getting tornado action to go with flooding and all the other unpleasantries...

Interesting how the Dhimmie presidential candidate field rhetoric is talking population control as an instrument to be wielded against #climatechange . . . but then requests "aid" to the Bahamas in light of the recent, intemperate wind gusts.
It would seem to me that #climatechange is already taking care of the population problem . . .

Yeah...and I thought they're into cannibalism too...and I hear there are survivors there, so...feed the chirren!

So I run a call today, SubZero no ice. Homeowner tells me housekeeper will be there and she's from the Bahamas. The entire time I'm there she's on her cell to the Bahamas. How the hell is there cell service??

(Cough) Drug Cartel (Cough)?
In other news...not that I watch the GoebbelsMedia talking-turds...guess there is some sort of chatter out there that Trump took a Sharpie to a hurricane map or some such made up MFM sh*t like that? I recall the early maps...I didn't post any because it was still too far out at sea to be relevant...had some projecting a deeper westerly track...
There's these -

...and the first one looks familiar...the second not as much but not the kind of map design I favor so doesn't mean it is wrong for the time period...
...just seems the GoebbelsMedia having another bad TDS day.
