URI and Hurricane Florence

[CL82]

FWIW you typically don’t see tropical storms on forecasts a week out. Usually once the track is clearer (3 days) you will see it.

So are you saying it is way too soon for people to be getting their panties in a bunch?

Agree.

Agree.

Never too soon brotha. I also don’t think people are bunching up their panties quite yet.

I think a hurricane plays right into our hands.

With 10" of rain softening up the field and 75 mph winds keeping URI from throwing the ball, I think we can hide some of our defensive deficiencies.

I think we should keep tabs on the storm and agree to move the game to whichever stadium is going to be hardest hit.

Not really worried about it yet, but I can't make it to the game next week. So if it is cancelled or postponed, perhaps I'll be able to make the makeup.

Hurricane Florence??

Thought that was the name of URI DE.

Let's have some respect for my late mother, Florence. She was a UConn fan and won't let her namesake ruin a great day for the Huskies.

Nice to have some intellectual posts here. It's tiresome speculating about what 17 year olds might do.

As Florence moves up to the top of the news over the weekend, grocery stores will be cleared-out from Ft Lauderdale to Boston by Monday. As for me, Wednesday is when I will decide if I need to bring in the yard furniture, fill up the gas cans for my generator, etc.

Of, there are 2 or 3 more waves coming-off the coast of Africa right behind Florence..

The Berlin Fair would be that weekend, so something is coming. It will always rain the weekend of the Berlin fair

Far better to speculate what a storm might do over a week from now. Am I right?

The crowd would certainly be able to fit into legendary Meade Stafium

URI beat #15 Delaware at UD.

Speaking of weather, I might actually tune in to a regular season game for first time in years this weekend... current Sunday forecast for Cleveland is for 2-3" of rain with wind gusts up to 40mph. Should be the kind of mudfest game John Madden used to love.

This is such typical internet board stuff. Meaningless opinions on something that is unknown at this time.

Ha - you haven’t read my other posts!

Just my attempt at wry humor. I've said it before, but my wife warns me people don't always read something the way they would hear it.

...and mine as well.

UPDATE: Sortie Condition Bravo Ordered for Norfolk-Based Ships

The value in terms of money and importance of the ships in Norfolk ensures that the Navy does not mess around.

Overall, regardless as to what/who is causing climate change, us Navy is taking it very seriously and the Norfolk complex is one of their major concerns.
