Alright and I'm saying the NWS has been wrong before, as have I. The national weather service has to fight with an arm tied behind their back, I've said this numerous times. If they jump out and say severe chance of heavy precipitation and it doesnt rain the general public gets FURIOUS. Trust me I've seen them on the days where they're off by a tenth of an inch of rain and farmers and the public aren't pleased.

Also I would not call forecasts models. Models are numerical mathematical programs that overlay map data and input data from observations. They're mathematical and cannot err on either side of caution or risk. Forecasters must take these numerical outputs at what they're worth because theres so much variability in the atmosphere it cant just be "correct" or "incorrect" each model is better at observing different things, so its the job of a forecaster to understand these bias and accurately forecast the weather. Problem is due to public outcry and cry wolf syndrome a lot of forecasters cannot go all in on risky things for fear of public backlash and people never listening to them again. I mean look no further than Bill Belicheck saying two years ago they're "almost always wrong". That perception is real, but the facts are wrong considering how accurate forecasters typically are in a short window, that said there is some risk management in this as well. Meteorologists seem a little sluggish on pulling the trigger on calls (I've said this multiple times in the past) as to not lose people.

Not saying it will happen, but arguing over 30 miles range when we're talking about a hurricane multiple days out is a pretty silly argument to have, agree to disagree at this point. The main thing im concerned about is people coming down expecting the hurricane to miss us. IT WONT, I've said this and been on team "its gonna rain" for a while now even when people disagreed with me on the other thread. I'm not forecasting the eye to be right on top of us nor have I ever, that being said do not be surprised at all if a rain band comes out and smacks us during the game. Theres a very real chance that could happen, and a pretty good one at that

If you've never had one, they are AMAZING. Like a pot pie and an empanada got freaky one night. They make them on the UP of Michigan and a little further south, but you can find them in Chicago, too.

You know, I'm scouring every site I know all week, and it gets posted literally the minute I leave my house for work.

3 AM or PM, also depends if you're a hurricane chaser, you might be driving with this thing all the way up the coast, I'd try to be leaving MUCH earlier. if you're leaving at 3 PM you're leaving when the worst part of the storm will be basically overhead

your wife's family is in for one hell of a storm, I think Hilton Head Island is going to see some significant damage out of this and that entire water front is going to be very flooded. I would be evacuating but thats just me, and traffic and evacuation routes are going to get more clogged the closer we get to the event

hitting the answer in a few on my way out. hoping to hit trip xing on my way back on sunday.

Wife's family has decided to stay put in Beaufort, SC area. They live waterfront up the river from Hilton Head. Will this be a dangerous situation for them, or just annoying? Trying to decide how much of a pain to be, as I do enjoy getting to fish down there and would like to stay on good terms...

FWIW: When UNC faced a slightly above mediocre Georgia defense, Mitch Trubisky posted these numbers:
- 24/40 (60%)
- 156 yds
- 0 tds
- 0 ints
- 39.5 qb rating

25 = Beamer
divided by 5 = Cam Phillips
divided by 5 again = Isaiah Ford
divided by 5 again = Average BAC of UNC fans after the game
divided by 5 again > UVA's record against VT the last 12 years

Anyone know if that site (can't find the thread with it linked) has updated Settle's stat line yet, or will he be getting some Recs this weekend to go with his punt return TD?
