We may have TS Bonnie approaching the Fireman and others in the TKP community near the SC, NC coast by Sunday-Monday. Prepare for some wind and rain later this holiday weekend along the coast, perhaps further inland.

Oh for fox sake! Gonna be at MB from 6/1-6/5, dammit.
IT may be past MB by then...
Well, derp. What can I say, it's been a long damn week.
anybody else just see her saying "ruff" over and over again
Thanks to you, now I can't un-see it...
I'm seeing, "Oh, ruff."
As in, What the Ruff?
Look at what you started. It's all your fault.
Expect more hurricanes this year in the south. With a really strong el nino giving way to la nina it could be a really interesting year in the Caribbean
Here's the insight I came for
Ok, sure, but how can we ensure that we can blame Loeffler for it?
That pretty much matches what Levy says in the blog I linked above. He days not that many more storms vs average but many developing g closer to CONS SE coast, gulf, n caribbean.
Yup I actually did a big ole research paper/presentation on el nino/la nina effects on hurricanes and basically all we need to be concerned about is this
El nino = fewer in the carribean, increased wind shear rips apart the hurricanes before they can form and organize. Interestingly though you tend to get better conditions in the mid Atlantic region so should something slip through there are better chances of intensification there
La nina is the exact opposite, expect to see lots of hurricanes in the carribean depending on how strong the la nina case is. I'll keep an eye on it and drop some knowledge on yall later this summer if youre interested and go more in depth on what impacts hurricanes and how
Uh. Yeah!
Do you have that research paper? I would love to read it! I did small science fair projects in HS on hurricanes and living on the Atlantic Coast for most my life in different areas it is really interesting to hear from someone with way more knowledge then a little google searching on my part.
yeah dunno how im going to get it to you though
Andddd Bonnie has officially formed. 2nd named storm of the year.
Yep. The family is going to postpone our annual stay at Garden City by a few days.
Y'all be careful down there!
Meh, just rain and light wind.
increased storm surge of a foot or two coupled with the rainfall is the real danger but yeah as long as nobody was dumb enough to go swimming on the coast there shouldn't be to much damage, still its pretty early in the season to be talking about this already
I just meant for us locals, some tourist will go swimming and get caught.
While the surfers, on the other hand, are droolin' !
Hell, yeah! Surfs up! It'll be big but choppy in southern OBX. When bonnie moves NE n gets past buxton, it could start firing!
I did LOTS of Hurricane chasing through the 80s n 90s. Surfed some big perfection in many places across the eastern us. Good stuff!
So looks like they got a lot more rain in some isolated spots. Several parts of 95 are under a foot to 2 feet of water.
I-95 southbound in Ridgeland Sc was closed this morning and diverting traffic off the interstate.
