Tropical Storm Nicholas

For a moment there, it looked like we were going to get our third hurricane since last year. Breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the cone yesterday. Right now it's a strong tropical storm, and it's not out of the question it could briefly strengthen to a category 1 hurricane, but the good news for us is that it will be coming this way over land from far south of us. Right now it's looking like it'll be weakened to a depression just before arriving here early Wednesday morning, but could still show up as a weakened tropical storm if it does strengthen further today.

So probably not looking at a lot of damage. At worst maybe loss of power for most of a day or so. The horses may miss their breakfast till after noon. >.< The mule's not going to be happy with the delay.

edit: It didn't strengthen. Winds back down to 70mph and falling. Should be less than 40, probably much so by the time it gets here.

edit2: oh.. nevermind it's a hurricane now. Not for long, still, but wtf?

edit3: Well it's directly south of us and looks like it's about to fuck off into Louisiana. Just some light rain here

I was worried a bit, since I was right in its path. Looks like it just missed my city by a few dozen miles. Still got some rain. Woo~ Glad it didn't hit you hard either.

It'll be here tonight or tomorrow morning, and it'll be moving slooooooooowwwwwllllyyyyyyyyy. But also still gonna downgrade to depression before that. Also ALL the models were wrong on this thing.

These storms sometimes do odd things. Like that one a few years ago that plowed across Central America and became a typhoon only to reverse course and cross BACK over into the gulf to become a hurricane again. Or the one when I was a kid that bounced along the east coast until it finally died just south of Maine.

Still, glad it seems that you'll just get a little wet. Best of luck that's all that happens and it doesn't change its mind again.

It's going east, so at this point, if it does decide to take another quick dip in the water, it'll have to skip past us to do it.

And have you noticed that when they're showing these models, there's always just one that looks like someone had a massive orgasm while drawing it.

"It's gonna turn east here, then HNNNNNNNGHHHH!!!" *scribble-loop-zag*
