I'm not a weather nerd, but I can just say that I live in Myrtle Beach and the meteorolgists here are saying this will be a Cat 1 storm that will pass off the coast. They are saying that the winds and storms will be north and east of the eye (over the ocean) but we should expect rip currents and rough surf. That being said, the beaches may be closed, but not evacuated.

Umm...because this storm and every other major weather event to hit the United States in the last 10 years has been engineered? That's what I would bet on. And the real kicker is the name they decided to give this fucker: Arthur. Fucking ARTHUR!? They are really beating us over the head with the British royalty stick. It reeks of desperation at this point. So-

King Arthur, eternal king and protector of the land of Briton, rides on his steed of wind incarnate, decimating the eastern territories of America. In the wake of the destruction, the people are fearful and desperate; they cry for salvation. In their hour of need, their call is answered: by His earthly avatar William. It is now clear. Our King has arrived.

Now, let me translate that above tale into a possible, real-world scenario: Tropical storm Arthur rapidly gains power, rising through the ranks of storm categories until it's a full-blown hurricane. Hurricane Arthur tears through the eastern seaboard, taking many lives and destroying much infrastructure. In short order during the aftermath of this great tragedy, the U.K sends Prince William on another one of his humanitarian, "he's just like us!" P.R stunts to America, where he surveys the areas hit, offering relief, aid and comfort. The people are enamored with him. This opportunity will be used to push some kind of U.N. agenda bullshit or make some unprecedented play at reclaiming the eastern territories for British rule, which would be sickening irony considering how close we are to the celebration of our Independence. Think about it, shits going DOWN. Israel and Hamas have their thing going with the "deaths" of 3 kidnapped boys; the Muslim caliphate is going live; Obama continues to be Obama. The sides are being set up, the teams are being made. They've been conditioning us to "choose sides" for yeeears. It's beyond Team Edward vs. Team Jacob or Team left Kit-Kat vs. Team right Kit-Kat. They want you on one of their pre-determined teams for the fate of the world. But, you don't have to choose any of their teams. Rather, you can choose to be free.

Of course, this is all just theory...

Anyone hear from the OP? He/She/It was onto something.

I think Nags Head is going to get a real close shave from this one.

Bump for OP, AG, KAC and all other posters who have made this a great thread - please keep updates coming if warranted.

thanks guys.

I'm on the coast of Massachusetts. Wondering how badly we're going to get hit. Any updates?

Is there a chance of this hitting Long Island?

Any info will be greatly appreciated

Yes... However for today (Wednesday) Long Island is under Severe Thunderstorm Watch... Strong storms are moving eastward towards NYC / LI

Sharknado II coming to the Big Apple and the US July 30th. Arthur's the warm-up act. They got the Naked Cowboy but I think they need Frankie.

bump for updates.

I'm with you my friend...

I have to work Friday and Saturday, too!

There is a chance it will graze the edge of Cape Cod, but the most likely scenario is for the storm to stay just offshore.

Global models are pushing for a western track.

Gotta keep an eye on it

Tropical Storm Arthur strengthens; N.C. island evacuated

Tropical Storm Arthur strengthened Wednesday and was forecast to grow into a hurricane by the Fourth of July holiday, taking aim at North Carolina's Outer Banks, a thin ribbon of barrier islands and popular vacation spot.

Dare County, N.C., officials said a mandatory evacuation of Hatteras Island along the Outer Banks would begin at 5 a.m. Thursday. After that time, no one will be allowed on the island.

^this. Models are hinting at a closer to the coast solution since the 12z run. People who are north of NC are in the clear,wind wise that is

Are you old enough to remember that NC Weatherman screaming "its not turning north!!!"(about the last hurricane that was supposed to be pushed northwards) and having an on air nervous breakdown? I'd love to see him if this turns right up the Cape Fear River:

As the storm strengthens, it will be pushed by a trough of low pressure northward and then to the northeast as it moves over the warm water of the gulf stream.

I'm not familiar with that one, but I can just see it happening.

Not sure which part of MA you are in, but you may get some thunderstorms this evening. : )

Oops I see the mandatory evac order is already posted, but here's another link:

I love thunder! Yay

I'll tell ya, with this humidity lately, I would LOVE a good thunderstorm tonight to cool things down a bit. : )

Why'd you start an unpinned thread and not update this one which is pinned?

8:11PM you started this thread.

Thread: Outer banks residents mandatory evacuation ! Arthur tracking west!

Hang on to your dreams!

LOL

Tell me about it Simple. Today was trying even for a heat-lover such as my self.

By the time I got home from my usual 30 minute walk from work, I was wet, with sweat, as if I had been out in drizzling rain.

Ugh!
