With the way the hurricanes have been blowing up quickly the past few years I would not be surprised if it gets to a category 2.

Dear Penthouse Letters:

She was just a whisper when she stirred — a warm breath off the coast, shy and unformed, barely noticed beyond the soft curves of the Caribbean horizon. But tropical storms have a way of flirting with restraint, and this one, now christened Imelda — a name we won’t soon forget — danced her way into Category Two like a woman fully aware of her power.

By the time she set her eyes on South Carolina, she had become something else entirely. The barometric pressure dropped like a stolen secret, and the winds began to howl with a kind of wild, irresistible rhythm — not violent, not yet, but urgent. The coastline leaned in, entranced and trembling. Palmettos bent as if whispering, she’s coming.

This hurricane didn’t rage — she seduced. Her bands curled like fingers across the Atlantic, beckoning, wrapping, pulling tides higher as if coaxing the land into surrender. She made no apologies for her arrival, only thundered her name across the sky as she made landfall.

And when she touched the South Carolina shore, she did not knock. She pressed herself against it, slow and steady, until the whole coast gasped beneath her weight...

Sincerely,

C.F.

So this one would most likely be a big rain event as opposed to damaging winds, right? Am I reading/understanding it correctly?

No one knows yet. Far too early to determine intensity. The hurricane hunters this morning couldn't even find a center of circulation. Once they find one and can get that data uploaded, the models will be able to do a better job at predicting path and future intensity.

Ohhh gotcha, see that's how clueless I am, I didn't even realize it hadn't become an officially named storm yet!

National Hurricane Center has it stalling off the coast of SC as a tropical storm.

Think that would still mean a really wet week for the Carolina coast., if it just sits there parked off the coast for a couple days. And if it gets that close to the coast as a hurricane I would suspect it may still hit the coastal areas with some hurricane-force (or near hurricane-force) winds.

And we're supposed to already get a lot of rain tomorrow. It's going to be a mess if it just sits off the coast and rains for a couple of days next week.
 
Wasn’t sure if this belonged on the ‘War on Universities’ thread or here.
