  • Re: Hurricane Flossie

    Just wanted to offer best wishes to everyone who might be in the path and here's to hoping it's just a glancing blow.

      Well it's 9:38am and the weather outside my home in Keaau down by the ocean is heavy overcast with absolutely no winds or rain. Or the calm before the storm

          According to this image the answer to that is no. The eye of the storm has yet to touch any land. And if did there would be calm after the storm and not before.

            No. If we were the sky would be a nice sunny day. I think the hurricane is stalled somewhere off of the Big Island right now as the winds are absolutely still and the sky is getting darker at least in Keaau.

              Slow is bad. Slow means more of a chance of flooding, because more rain gets dumped in the same area than if the storm moved quicker.

                  Oh man that image is amazing. So big and so close. I just hope the Trades keep blowing that thing away from us.

                      Wow, a radar link I've never seen, thanks. The eleven AM bulletin should be out shortly.

                      This UH radar map makes it look as if the southern part of BI should already be covered in very stormy clouds. dang, the difference in the maps.

                        And that image also seems to show that the hurricane's eye is slowly re-forming.

                          On this morning's news, they said commercial airlines would fill their aircraft up with fuel to weight them down on the tarmac when the hurricane approaches. For a cat-2 some distance off-shore perhaps. But if it were a category 3 or higher, sound kinda' iffy that would keep even a larger aircraft such as a 767 (plus fuel) put; not to mention the added fire hazard potential.

                              well I guess if they point the nose of the aircraft towards the wind and keep the flaps down that should help.

                                Hmm, wouldn't it be safer and more effective to load sand bags onto cargo containers and stick'em in the plane's belly?
