I'm noticing some of the models indicating a leftward shift with #HurricaneLee at 144+- hours out (I circled it in green) when parallel with Maryland/New Jersey.
Mind you this is going to change as that time nears and becomes more certain. A good rule of thumb is that anything more than 84 hours away should be taken lightly.
With that said, when different models start showing a trend, it should be noted and watched for in future runs.
This kind of information, on Hurricane Lee, all in one link is like weather heaven for me. Check this out, scroll down to the bottom (slowly) from the link below. Little details like the gradient of the water temps in the background of the cone of uncertainty layer is 💯
any tips for fertilizing plants that are mostly or entirely in the air?
i have some #vanilla plants that are crawling their way through the forest. i have no idea where they touch the ground, but they have plenty of air roots.
i was thinking of fertilizing them, but realized i don't know what to do. maybe a mist or spray bottle? but then what goes in the bottle? at what concentration?
Sat and watched YouTube last night while resting. I am so disturbed by how many YT videos were click baiting Hurricane Lee based on thumbnails alone. Almost every single one, both media corps AND regular folk you would hope to trust more, shows the cone of uncertainty but NOT the models showing it curving north before hitting the US.
Of all the ones I saw, only ONE showed the models. Good ol' Al Roker on TODAY passed the hype check.
A lovely and very large and #tropical looking rosemallow #flower I found while walking the dog. This thing was as big as my face! I’m totally gonna plant them in my yard next year.
Now free for all to read... In Innisfail, Queensland, I discover a marvellous shire hall among a wealth of Art Deco buildings - and learn why they came about:
New at my Patreon... This beautiful tropical accommodation was converted from an old church. What's surprising is how briefly it was a place of worship:
I evacuated last night around 12:30AM with my son. It was a last minute decision, but what pushed me over the edge was one of the NHC's track updates that brought a potential CAT 4 hurricane way too close to home. I drove to Dothan, AL and slept a few hours and re-assessed. When I saw Idalia finalize that right turn, I made my way back home.
Needless to say, I was lucky. Power outages two counties over are at 100% outage.
Here's an excellent example of the wobble, known as trochoidal oscillations (Thanks Dan on Discord lol). Had me fooled for a little while thinking it was taking a western track!
To all my HAM nerds. You can listen online to the Hurricane Watch Net on 7268.00 starting at 7PM ET, tonight 8/29/2023. Secondary, 14.325 is supposed to work until propagation is lost at night.
I'm home for recovery now. With a category 3 hurricane currently expected to make landfall east of me. I'm sure I'll still see some impacts but if the track verifies it won't be as intense as I had been originally expecting at my home location.
Those of you between the coasts of Tallahassee and Tampa really need to be paying attention, and probably evacuating or preparing to soon.
Extreme heat could make photosynthesis impossible for tropical trees and plants that may all die as a result, a new study found. (www.businessinsider.com)
Extreme heat messes with tropical trees' photosynthesis, causing the plants to die, a study found. Climate change may make this a widespread problem.
