Tin foil hat time: Hurricane John in the Pacific is potentially poised to cross southern Mexico and end up in the gulf of Mexico*. Isn't that essentially how TS Allison happened? A pacific hurricane ended up in the gulf?
*projections of this seem to have it basically following the current storm in the gulf towards Florida.
Allison was a regular Atlantic storm

It was also a different TS Allison that partly formed out of the remnants of Hurricane Cosme, which was a pacific storm that crossed into the Atlantic basin.
Wrong. Google better or go back to the BCS townie boards.

Someone's an angry little elf today
The 5pm EDT NHC advisory has it as a major (Cat 3) hurricane by 2pm Thursday. Disclaimer: This post is just me reading a graphic posted by the NHC, it shall not be misconstrued as a panicky pete, we are all going to die post.
Damn, that's really going to suck for them.
I know, stating the obvious.

Got good buddies in Carrabelle and Port St. Joe over there. They're gonna get blasted. Just pinged them and one dude's wife is taking their kids to her parents near Mobile while he's gonna go to Tallahassee. Other dude & family are heading to Gainesville.

You do realize there has been more than 1 tropical storm Allison that hit Texas, right?

When someone in Houston says "Tropical Storm Allison", nobody thinks of 1989 Allison.histag10 said:

watching the weather channel and people in tampa lined up to get sandbags. 10 per car limit, and they are filling them maybe half full, and not even tying them.
anyone here ever benefitted from sandbags (other than getting community service brownie points for filling them) in a storm?

You are only supposed to fill them about half full so that they shift and settle to fill the gaps.Serious Lee said:

just buy bags of quikrete and stack them up out front.
Sandbags that fill themselves when hydrated.
I bought some of those earlier this year.
Hope I never have to use them, but figure they might help if I need them in my back yard as my back door is the only doorway that ever comes really close to the water line when it starts to flood.

Exactly
Unless you buy enough to line your house 4-5 feet tall and lay it perfectly water tight, you are just wasting money for your flooded rebuild
Didn't someone in Houston (Meyerland?) completely surround their home in a wall of sandbags and plastic for Harvey? Was actually pretty impressive looking but it failed to prevent any flooding.
that was down south (lake jackson or near)
i met the guy one time ... cannot remember why or where, but it was at a work thing

There was a family in Meyerland that did that. It was on the news before Harvey I think. Spent $5000 on materials and got it all set up.
Flooded anyway.
There was the dude that used the inflatable dam around his house and it worked. I believe he drove to Louisiana to pick it up right before the storm. No I didn't re-read the story.

those were aquadams, not sandbags. the ones that were successful required several sump pumps running cause the water still leaches underneath.
hes an optometrist, know him well. one of his neighbors is a more blue collar guy that has heavy equipment. last minute he dug around his house and used the dirt to build a 360 deg berm. didnt work, water leached right through. had a good laugh that the eye doctor better protected his house than the construction redneck.evestor1 said:

I can't recall seeing a path that had it hooking east, making landfall, going straight north, and then hooking west.
Is that more common that I think? I feel they always make landfall and go north northeast.

There was a house in Meyerland that had one of those aquadams. It wasn't ready for 6 feet of water. You could see it underwater as we drove by in the boat.
Only one way to make sure.

Shandley?
assuming they are the same. it is the guy that used the Aqua Dam. We've used them for controlling waterflow in creeks and rivers.Serious Lee said:hes an optometrist, know him well. one of his neighbors is a more blue collar guy that has heavy equipment. last minute he dug around his house and used the dirt to build a 360 deg berm. didnt work, water leached right through. had a good laugh that the eye doctor better protected his house than the construction redneck.evestor1 said:

Helene now predicted to be Cat 4 at landfall
This thing is going to be a disaster of biblical proportions if this forecast holds. Possibly still a hurricane when it gets to Atlanta. That's nuts.
***** FL is a gonner.
The flash flooding once this thing moves inland may actually be the worst part of this storm.
