You sure about Fionna?


All the models show it curving out to sea much like Danielle.

 

If Ealr does what I think it is going to do, I think Fiona will do what I said it is going to do.

 

Honestly, debating these with Bricky has taught me more about the "chase" than anything else ever has... it makes me work to prove my thought process...

The only thing that bugs me, is when a storm "talks" to me.. I don't know how else to explain it. And no matter how hard I work to figure out WHY I know what is going to do.. no matter what the pressure systems say, I cannot shake "knowing" what it is going to do.

Ike did that. All forecast models showed it coming ashore at Corpus Christi.. and for days I KNEW it was coming ashore near Galeston/Houston.. and I knew when. The pressure systems showed that the NWS forecast was the most logical... I called Katrina almost a week before it came ashore. It's almost like they "talk" to me..

 

Nik, Katrina was actually lined up to go elsewhere... all the pressure ridges and systems indicated that NO was not going to be it... but you and I knew because you and I know storms. It's that simple. The sixth sense, the gut instinct... call it what you will.. no amount of training can make up for the lack of it...

 

The reason I recall Katrina is because my hubby was headed for NO, and was due to deliver a load there 2 days before it came ashore... and I pitched a fit and argued with dispatch.. and he went and got the hell out fast. He was in OK when it actually hit.

NASA has a nice list of the airborne instruments.
