Don't Eat The Worm...
Looks like this weekend is gonna be a wet one. Typhoon Sinlaku is headed right for us, expected to pass just 7 nm from the base here. I am excited I have never been in a storm this big before. Gonna spin some tunes and watch it go by. :music: Hopefully it doesn't cause to much damage though wouldn't want anyone to get hurt!

You may be looking a bit like your avitar this weekend. I hope you still have power to spin tunes. At least you have time to prepare and 'hunker down'. If it gets as close as you say, you'll remember it for the rest of your life. According to the predicted track, you're going to be in the stronger side of the storm.

Thanks for the heads-up. We get so focused on the events on our side of the globe, we sometimes lose sight on what's happening on the 'other side'.
 
Send it over my way...We ain't proud, we'll take all the rain we can get...We had a little one that settled the dust a little ystrday, but as far as doing any real good to alleviate the several-year drought...Fuggeddaboutit.
 
What ever happens, stay safe!

In 1981 I was fascinated with a tornado that was passing over Denver headed for the suburb of Thornton (and and my house at the time) when a couple of the engineers in the front office saw me slack-jawed and staring at the sky and dragged my butt back into the building, just before the sheet metal from a nearby roof landed in the parking lot... if it wasn't for dumb-luck and good friends I wouldn't be wishing you a safe passage through the storm.

Cheers,

Herb
 
MWR,

It looks like you will miss the excitement in your area. If you're looking for excitement, you can monitor Ike in the Houston area. Take your pick of videos (at the 1st website). You can mute the rest of the videos.

The seawall is 17 ft high, and the surge and waves are topping the seawall. If you would receive a direct hit by Sinlaku (on an island with low elevation), you would be in a tight spot.

Sandy, thanks to Hurricane Ike, you oughta be nice and wet down there for a couple of days.

Unless it veers west.

Either way, here in Missouri we're expecting rain for the next three days.
