Whew !
Hurricane Lee
- Thread starter Uke
- Start date
It's weakening and will turn north before it hits the US.
That's the hope.

I really hope that it’s a miss. One of the spaghetti lines has it landing near me.
Me too. I'm in Wilmington NC and have been in 10 of these since 1995. I'm over it!
Best consolidation of tropical event reporting. There's a lot of information here: http://bearpawsweather.com/

Me too! I'm still suffering from PTSD from Hurricane Irene and Sandy as well as Tropical Storm Lee (the one in 2011).
They both have information the other does not. Bear Paws, as a consolidator, has some interesting things, like the 'monte carlo' track simulations it gets from tropicaltidbits.com.

Stuff like this would make me crazy (er) and watching and wondering!! Never lived in a place with this kind of weather. Of course, I also know people who've never been in an earthquake. I grew up with those, some REALLY big ones, but I'm better suited to that. You don't really know it's coming, just suddenly the earth around you goes crazy and then it's all over but the aftershocks. Which can be bad, too. Stay safe, my friends!!
Which would be the prudent thing for anybody consolidating information from varied sources to put on their charts.
The way I see it, National Hurricane Center is absolutely vital for telling me what's going to happen in the next 48 hours. Bear Paws is far more useful for giving an indication what might happen a week from now.
I grew up in SoCal with earthquakes and moved to NC for hurricanes! I'll never ever seek out tornadoes though (although we do have some when hurricanes come ashore).
There's no perfect place gang.... It's just a question of what you're willing to live with.
For example, hear in the northeast, we rarely get extreme weather, but winters are long and frankly -- while you might feel generally safe and in control -- you're much more likely to get killed or hurt in a car accident from ice or other bad weather than you are to die in an earthquake.
