God's Own Party?

For the record, I want the two maps verified for accuracy, and if he's correct, I want that image for a T-Shirt.

I'm just sayin'.

Edit: And it looks like his tracking of Charley is wrong -- the center passed over three Democratic counties, Osceola, Volusia, and Orange. Oh well.

The paths of Charlie and Frances are correct. The Ivan path is not. That is the path the National Hurricane Center predicted about 36 hours prior to landfall. It ended up coming ashore about 20 miles west of the Florida border in Alabama. However, those counties in red around the path did, indeed, take a beating worse than anywhere in Alabama, as they were in the right front quadrant of the storm.

*laugh.* okay. That actually makes sense since he says Ivan's path is predicted as of Sept 14th. So I suppose what I want is an updated map -- but hey, that can wait for the hurricanes still out there to come in.

ooh, also, it's a bit off, as St. Lucie county got hit worse than anyone else from Frances. Right front quadrant again.

[kuangning]

Huh. Frances was frickin' huge, as I recall -- did the eye pass over St Lucie? I'm assuming here that he's tracking the eye -- damage would be a much different map, I'd think.

[pezstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He's tracking just the exact center of circulation. The eyewall did pass over st lucie county, as did parts of the eye. But not the exact center.

It's still one of the coolest maps I've seen in awhile.

So is this one: LOOK! I MAY GET SMACKED BY JEANNE AFTERALL! http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/graphics/AT11/refresh/AL1104W5+GIF/220253W5.gif

*chuckles.* The offer of asylum stands, if she does head that way. We have DVDs, food, and board games. what else does one need when listening to MUCH RAIN AND STORMING outside? ;)

That's awesome.

It's certainly funny as all hell. Though, well, anyone who ever says "It's a sign from GOD!" and doesn't mean it to be funny gets a nod and a pat on the head and a wide berth thereafter from me.

Same here!

Oh my gawd, that's just too perfect. I want it on a t-shirt, too.

[kuangning]

Looks like he's wrong about it not hitting two Democratic counties. Pity.

Thanks. :) As I told Pez, above, the damage couldn't have been what he was tracking -- Frances kinda hit the whole state. So what I needed to know was whether his tracking of the storm center was correct. Looks like it's wrong on two counties. Ahh well. :)
