Hurricane Laura - SilverFang01 - 08-26-2020
Just a check in on our posters in that area.
Are you guys prepped and/or evacuated?
Vibes from JAX, FL

"Two confirmed deaths were reported by officials in Louisiana."
Did we lose anybody?

We don't have any 14-year-old girls among the board membership (that I'm aware of), so we can eliminate that as a possibility.
I must admit that I'm concerned the projected path sends Laura right over us sometime around midnight Saturday, best as I can tell. That's the third damned tropical storm to hit NJ in 6 weeks...

TBH, I was hoping it'd swing this way. As I've said elsewhere, our aquifer barely qualifies as an aquifer as it will slowly drain its contents over time. And it doesn't help matters that everyone who can will tap into it. (Yes, they do need to get approval from the Edwards Aquifer Authority, but that's still a lot of wells dug.)
Long story short: We need every drop of rain we can get here, and having Laura swing this way would have been just the thing. While some people freak out over the rain, I just smile as it comes down hard enough to flood the streets, and look forward to seeing how much the water level in the aquifer goes up in the next week.

And despite my earlier post it didn't swing our way. Saturday-Sunday was sunny and dry.

Well, it went east like you predicted, but rather further north than you were anticipating.

As late as yesterday, we here in Chambersburg, Pennsyltucky, were still getting either rain from her dissipation or rain into which her after-effects seamlessly segued.
