...I didn't regularily visit this site before the blogs, so maybe the community hung out somewhere else on the site I haven't seen yet, but it's interesting to see such an active community form so quickly around the new blogs. I guess weather is one thing everyone has in common.

hey who are you???

oh well talk to everyone tomorroe or later today i guess....................cj..............OUT!!!

Just a friendly lurker :)

friendly lurker???? lol nice to se ya on here. Good morning yall.yesterday it was the slowest day up till when cj came on. the the real fun started.lol i hafta go. be back later this afternoon.

Ok everyone, I have a post set up in my blog for the link swaps (so they are all in one place).

In case you missed it yesterday, a few of us were interested in the links others were using. Now we can post some of our links so others can hopefully use them as well.

My blog..

I have added some of my links already. :)

Morning people,

Finally the heatwave has broke around here, its a nice 70 degrees some 15 degrees cooler than yesterday around this time. We had a couple of thunderstorms last night, nothing major (didn't even turn off the computer). To the south and west they got the more powerful ones.. A good downpour this morning so far about .5 inch - 1 inch or rain (good thing cause my grass was looking mighty brown).

68 F here in bloomington, IN

Sadly, we didnt get many storms, just some lightning to our north

morning peeps-

Well it looks like one of them waves will turn into a hurricane, says the gfs model. And it looks like its coming right for Florida. Back me up Stormtop...(will the old people finally leave the state? lol)

And wouldnt it be funny if Franklin does a loop-de-loops and comes back west for revenge?

Good Morning y'all

Franklin is done. . no use worrying about it anymore.

But half the models seem to think a storm will develop soon out in the atlantic. Looks "promising"

Thanks for those links WSI

Well being in florida and all looks I'll have alot to watch.

Punk,

Should have been out there doing the raindance or aleast wash your car (ie always seems to rain after you wash your car). I don't dare wash mine scared it fall apart. ie I drive a 91 Nissian Sentra that is a rust bucket, has 180K miles on it, exhaust leak(s) but runs like a champ. Not to mention it was cheap ($300). I going to drive it into the ground then buy another beater (been doing that all my life, only new cars I owned my wife has driven)

I have a '91 Nissan 240SX, so i can understand what you mean. Only 109k on my car, however. I dont think I have washed it in months. Maybe, just maybe, i should do that.

well...we shall see what we shall see, and i envy everyone up there in the north w/ the low 70's upper 60's...down here in fl its not much past 10am and its already like 92

Punk,

Nissian's, Toyoto's and Honda's last forever, if you treat them right (engines seem to last much longer than the bodies). I have owned 3 Nissian's (including my current car), 2 Toyoto's and 2 Honda's. All of them where over 100K when purchased or I drove them over 100K, Both the Toyoto's and Honda's I owned where over 200K miles on them when I sold them (original engines). My dad still owns one of my Toyoto's and its pushing 400K (of course this is down south where the winter salt doesn't eat the body for breakfast). And of the ones I sold I sold them/gave them away because the cost of repairing a part was more than I purchased the car for (all the cars in question I purchased for under $1500). In case your are wondering I been driving for 18 years (more like 25 if you count driving cars and tractors around on the farm) I have owned 12 cars

Good Morning all, so it looks like FL is a target in a week, not good, hoping we would be spared on the east coast this year, but it looks like I will be looking at a 100% rate increase on my homeowners insurance next year. Thats if one of these storms dont rip my mobile home into shreads.

I have a yellow VWBug 2001 and I love it - does well in all kinds of weather - even flooding - for some reason my car makes all the deep water - I guess it's the floating effect

How do you know Florida is going to get hit what is everyone looking at

What's with Franklin? Why doesn't this thing get a life?

The long term models have been picking up at least 2 storms forming and coming in this general direction from the bahamas

Sorry for you :-( happy for Texas :-)

Guess Im talking to myself this morning -

Orion,

My car already has had its engine melt (i over heated it the second day i got it). Wasnt a fault on my behalf, but more from the previous owner. But oh well, we got a "new" 70,000 mile engine. Hopefully it will last a long time now.

EVERYONE,

Remember that the models are VERY poor at predicting cyclogenisis. In other words, if they show a storm developing on the model, it does not mean 100% that a storm will be created.

That's why I asking how did they know so far out in advance Punkass
