The Doctor Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 OK, enough already! Storm season can be over. Here's the hotlinked track and past forecast for Ophelia. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
hurricane Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I don't have to look at a map. I just have to look out the window. She's right outside anytime I need a peek.

Slopmaker Cripps Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 She'll be up my way tomorrow of Friday... Already been kicking up some dangerous sailing conditions around here, and I'm amazed we haven't been called out to get some sorry landsman you thinks they're a sailor yet. We'll see. I've actually been enjoying the stormy weather, gosh knows we needed it. We'll see if I'm whistling the same tune later this week.....

Master Sully Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 SURF'S UP! I've been enjoying the swells, and the north easters rock!

Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Oh goodie!! I second yah Mad Jack. There's been enough "weather" down here for the past two years to cover twenty! :) Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Slopmaker Cripps Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Seems they changed the days it'll be up my way.....looking at Friday/Saturday right now. Cheers, Adam C.
King's Pyrate Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 It is real windy and wet in St. Augustine.....rain is coming down sideways. KP
capnwilliam Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Here's wishing all the best to all in Ophelia's path, mates. Her sister Katrina surely did a royal number on the Gulf Coast. Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
The Doctor Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 And now she's regained hurricane strength, presently setting her designs south of Charleston, SC. Like Shakespeare's Ophelia, this storm is confounding and hard to predict. God bless and protect all in her path. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
CaptainCiaran Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Aarrgh and damnations! She be getting too damn close now to me family's beach cottage near Wilmington. Here in central NC we are beginning to get some of the rain bands and tomorrow looks pretty lousy. I hope she doesn't wash our coast too badly. I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird.

CaptainCiaran Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Darling Ophelia be causing great mischief along our coastline. Reports coming in from Wilmington of trees and limbs down in numerous places, and up to 8 inches of rain there. Along the beaches up to 12 inches of rain being reported with winds gusting to 80 mph. The hurricane is raking right along the southeastern and central coastline and expected to make landfall -- possibly as a category 2 -- tonight near Morehead City and Beaufort. Forecast takes it then over Ocracoke and Hatteras. Here in central NC (I live in Durham which is approx. 150 miles from the ocean) we have dark skies and occasional bands of rain and wind. None of it very strong here. I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird.

capnwilliam Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 My advice as a much-spared Katrina survivor: if you are in Ophelia's projected path, VAMOOSE! Please get away while you can! Even if you have plywood on your windows, bottled water, non-perishable foods, and guns: none of this will help you against DISEASE. Also, the winds and rain can buffet yer home-vessel like a top!
