I hope that everyone takes precautions, and that those precautions turn out be unnecessary. May she fizzle and merely drizzle.

Looks like it will go right over me. Hopefully landfall will diminish to category 1. Gonna be wet and windy. No long engraves for me in the next few days.

You are right in the path, here’s hoping landfall quiets it right down and quickly.

Looks like you get your wish… Idalia is forecast as a CAT 1 when she gets to you.

It slipped by to the north and pretty uneventful here. Power flickered briefly, and a little bit of wind but nothing serious. No good stories to tell, but everybody safe

SMH here we go again! As far ahead as Nullschool can look, it could be a fish storm or anywhere on the East Coast. but Cat 3 to 5 in any case.


The green ring to the center is 16hours to hint speed and direction.
They are calling it Lee but hoping it is not Sheridan.

The models are all aligning to a fish storm that might hit Maine or Canada in another week. They’re not quite sure about Bermuda yet.

That is certainly the hope and ideal, The beaches north of you might be offering the best if not the safest surfing in years. But out more than 4 or 5 days and low probability events are not impossible.
