Sandy formed at the end of October and so did Wilma.

A landfall in Virginia Beach would be catastrophic. All the rain expected to fall will make the rivers swell and more with in addition to storm surge being forces up these rivers. I'm expecting a really bad event. We need to get more confidence on where this place will make landfall so we can inform the public to evacuate in the necessary areas. The models still have it landfall anywhere from North Carolina to New Jersey.

I know but it's rare sis

I'm in central NC and they've just started talking this up as something serious to pay attention to tonight.
3-4 days heads up isn't going to end well if it does come through here.

I doubt it'll actually make it all of the way to the northeast. They usually die out or change south so we'll see.

Joaquin is now the season's second major hurricane.

Virginia declared a state of emergency ahead of the storm. There is an anticipated nor'easter on Friday/Saturday and then Joaquin on Sunday/Monday. After the rain yesterday, this will be very interesting and cool.

The lack of wind shear isn't slowing down the progression of the storm, which is being steered directly along the coast because of two parallel guiding winds. It's expected to grow to category 3, but even if it fell apart before hitting the coast, it's remnants combined with the nor'easter that's supposed to hit can still be dangerous.

JK, Joaquin was just upgrade to category 3. It went from Tropical Storm Joaquin to category 3 in less than 24 hours. Another day, another slay.

Flooding us with threads to flooding us with water.

King of finally logging out of ATRL and moving on to bigger and better things

On a side note, it's been raining all day here

But thanks to this storm, my crush drive me home

[gagacasanova]

Here's what my meteorologist says, mind you, this guy does weather for the DC area:

Yes, the new track brings the storm very close to our area. Yes, the center of the cone is directly over us. Here is what you need to know. DO NOT let this scare you, this forecast WILL change again and we DO NOT think we will see a direct hit from the storm here. We will still see significant impacts over the region including more heavy rain and wind, but remember the first storm, the Nor'easter hits first on Friday and Saturday. If and it's still a big if Joaquin moves towards us it would be Sunday into Monday.
