Tropical Depression 9

[Arnept]

Is the NHC relying heavier on Google AI modeling over the traditional models on this one? The Google AI model run has this storm hitting more east around pensacola than the others from what I have seen.

Lots of comparisons between AI models and non AI models within the NWS/NHC right now internally. I don't think they're ready to put out a forecast with lots of input from an AI model quite yet.

Latest satellite imagery showing a huge explosion of storms around the center which is indicative of a strengthening system. Just me talking, but I expect this to be a hurricane in the next 4-6 hours tops. If it's not already.

Keep jogging east damnit. Let’s compromise and have it hit Cedar Key. West side is the best side!

I can get behind that.

You going to stay on the coast Dawg?

We went to Starkville for the game last weekend and were supposed to come back home today. Mrs stayed in North Ms but I came down today to batten down the hatches, headed back to North Ms tomorrow afternoon. I have a home on wheels, no reason to tempt fate.

Some dipshìt filled up 9 cans of gas. God I hate these new people. We’ll run out of gas for a cat 2 and people that need to go to work will be struggling to find stations with gas. On another note, I felt bad bad for my neighbor that spent all day putting up Halloween decorations Thursday. They were putting them back up this afternoon.

Back when the hurricane hit Houston in 2017, I was at work when the gas hording started. I’d heard rumblings the night before, but didn’t go fill up. Back then I had a 90-mile round trip…

I went out at lunch to go find some gas and lines were either hundreds of yards long or there was no gas at the stations. My tank was low by then…. I told my boss I needed to head towards home and finish from there.

I got probably 10 miles from the office when my gas light came on. I finally found a spot 20 miles from my house but had to wait for every dipshit in their monster trucks to fill their tanks and huge gas cans. After 30 minutes of waiting I finally filled up….

And there wasn’t even a gas shortage. People can be so damn stupid.

That is a big loss for the economy over there

They are building a 21 million dollar walking bridge so you can walk to Lulu’s from Tacky Jacks because sometimes one fine dining experience needs followed by another fine dining experience. They can afford it! ******

Happens every time. Hell there were people doing that crap in Brookhaven yesterday. Brookhaven! The five or six trucks I saw were all from Lincoln County.

That's what I did during Michael.

We officially have our first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic basin season. Sustained winds are 75mph.

Updated track looks to be pushed east once again.

Phone blows up at 10:15 for a storm surge and hurricane warning. I’m fine with my phone blaring waking me up for a tornado warning, but unless the hurricane closes a 600 mile gap in the next 30 minutes. The warning can wait until the morning.

Any chance it can wobble to the big bend?

Any chance it can wobble to the big bend?

I would say highly unlikely.

For those of you that donated to our team today I wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Funding has been tight lately and your generosity was very welcomed.

For businesses, one of the things I mentioned that was available for sponsorship was our automatic alert system that automatically makes a post to our Facebook and X accounts. The image below is the graphic from our latest alert that went out when the storm became a hurricane. You can see where your business logo would be displayed. So far, all of our alert posts dealing with this tropical system are averaging over 10,000 views each so far. Smallest view count was around 6,500 with the highest over 22,000. These alerts are posted anytime there is a watch, warning, or advisory issued anywhere in MS and some of the border counties in the neighboring states. If you think this might be of interest to you, shoot me a DM.

Stop jogging east damnit, October 10, 2018 sucked when Michael hit Panama City and Mexico Beach.

Anyone know what the cotton crop looks like this season in South GA & the panhandle? It was a 40 yr bumper crop down there in 2018 until October 10th.

That would be one hell of a wobble. No

7:00am update and no change. Winds still at 80 and forecast landfall is Gulf Shores. Track looks to correct back over the northeast part of the state so the eastern part of the state will see the highest impacts from the storm. I could see scattered power outages up to Meridian being a possibility and then just heavy rain and gusty winds further north and east of I-55. If the center comes into MS then anywhere east of that would have some degree of a tornado threat.
