Gulf Coast, Beware: Here Comes Sally

[Robert59]

Storm expected to make landfall as a hurricane early Tuesday

Just what the Gulf Coast didn't want: another hurricane. Sally earned the designation Monday with winds of up to 85mph, says the National Hurricane Center. The storm is expected to make landfall as a Category 2 hurricane early Tuesday in southeastern Louisiana, though it's still too early to predict a spot, reports USA Today.

This one is supposed to have copious amounts of rainfall, with substantial flooding risk, especially around Biloxi, MS. Then, there are 4 or 5 more forming in the Atlantic, which could hit later this month. Between the hurricanes and forest fires, this Fall is shaping up to impact millions of people.

Emergency Management has already put us on warning for 5-12 inches of rain here in the Carolina Mountains...
Of course I'm working for most of it...

supposed to be big rain/flood maker.

Now they're saying Wednesday afternoon for landfall. Lots of rain and storm surge expected. AND there are eight more storms lined up in the Atlantic.

I can't wait for 2020 to be over.

It may be time to build a large pipeline from these high rain areas to the west coast to put the water where it is needed.

It is now turning toward Mississippi. There is a gang of storms systems in the Atlantic now. The National Hurricane Center is out of names for them. Vicki is the last.

 

[tbeltrans]

Well, then the National Hurricane Center could start adding numbers to the original names such as Vicki2. Remember the space program did that with their flight names.

They'll start in on the Greek alphabet after Vicky. Alpha will be the next one.

Now it's Alabama's turn to get wet. The storm is moving at 2 mph meaning deadly flooding.

Sally the hurricane must have heard Lay Down Sally the song.....and took it to heart. She's apparently decided to lay down for a while before getting the hell out of Dodge.....

Hurricane Sally brought to my mind the song, "Mustang Sally." Just change the lyrics to, "She better slow her high winds down..."
