A sub-tropical storm, and we are forecast to be on the 'wet' side Sunday and Monday :-(
:abnormal::rain:eek:Quote:
MondaySoutheast winds around 50 knots. Seas 11 to 13 feet. Showers and thunderstorms.
Somewhere, someone will be thinking "Maybe the kings will be biting at the pier?" LOL
WOW!
This has gone south in a hurry...
From Friday's 4pm Marine forecast:
Quote:
Sunday Night
tropical storm conditions possible. Northeast winds 30 to 35 knots becoming east around 45 knots.
Seas around 11 feet building to around 20 feet.
What plans for closing the pier?
Will the new down lights be pulled? (only recently replaced from last year's storm)
Will the panels be pulled from the end?
They better get on it ......in a hurry
Just received this email reply:

At this time we do not anticipate removing the panels, the down lights will be removed if the waves become a threat and we will keep the pier open until such time that safety becomes a concern. If any decision is made to close the pier because of this storm I will do my best to let you know.

Still this 'worrisome' marine forecast of swells perhaps over 20 feet (but at least the winds would be more northeast, then veering to northerly...

Hate to wish it on others, but a continued eastward trend would be much appreciated.
I dont know how much rain we've gotten at the house in the last two weeks, but its been 1/4 to 1" every single day. Got at least 1/2" already today.
Send it north and west. I'm still waiting for enough water in the rivers to do some serious striper fishing.
....And it gonna rain like, well I saw a guy leading a tall cow toward a flat rock, and I think the other cow is already standing on the pole bridge.Quote:
