Hurricane IKE and EOM

[GalaxyBlue]

Hey all,

Anyone concerned that IKE will turn and soak EOM? I know it's WAY early, But they are predicting landfall sometime friday and i know how these things like to stall out.

Shame on me for even thinking these nasty thoughts

(insert hiding under chair smiley here)

Counting on it.

Friday last year, jwilly managed to get us 120+ miles from Lewisburg when the rain started...

Funny story able brand loyalty; I was at a VFR meet a few years ago and they got rained out one of the days; My partner & I rode anyways that day. That afternoon while they were sitting in the hotel conference room watching a Tailofthedragon / killboy DVD, I pointed out (being one of the few rider who did venture out that day) that the main difference between VFR & FJR gatherings is that at a VFR meet, they watch & talk about riding, and at a FJR meet, we just ride. Gotta get your digs in when you can.

Edit: Ike is projected to move through the Gulf, maybe that will minimize the impact on the WV area vs. an Atlantic coast landfall...???

No worries. Fencer will serve as our ground control and provide up to the minute tracking of all rainfall activity while we're there.

Well, I guess I'll be packing my hair dryer. Not that I have any hair to use it on, but they are excellent for drying out boots and gloves.

Looks like the gulf to me. Hopefully it will go way west. East could be interesting. Guess we'll see by week's end.

Don't worry the B Inn has them in every room.

I doubt it if Ike will pose any EOM threat... but in the past 2 EOM's were threatened by hurricanes. Hopefully, we be good, mon!.. because it has happened!

Don't think any of us are sweet enough to melt

Here is a pretty cool site for tracking hurricanes. I takes a bit to load.

I just took a look at the projected path for Ike. It looks like we may not even end up with rain from this event. Good news for us folks, eh?

 

[mbottoms]

It looks like we may take one on the chin for EOM.

Damn proud to do it.

:clapping: Just looked at the 10 day weather and looks like it is raining on Wednesday and Thursday. I guess I will get that ride in the rain I have been wanting all summer in the heat. :yahoo:

 

[cyclebabble]

The 15 day outlook has improved, the chance of rain has been removed. Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Cool!
