What Jumper said, Sluggo. You ARE joking, right?

I can NOT wait to get out of this place. There's nothing good to eat.

The 'hood here in Northside is a bit rough around the edges, and Bob and I have talked at length about selling the house and moving. But where? I don't want a McMansion, and unless one gets far away from the city, the problems are the same.

Here we have miscreant black youths on foot. Out in corn country (Milford, Oxford) there are teenagers in old pickup trucks. Living here I can simply go outside and stare them down (and yes, I did that just yesterday.) In corn country I'd have to chase them down. And yanno, ammo gets expensive.

Pledging to never ban Sluggo, however misguided she may be about Cincinnati. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">1) You obviously haven't been to Slim's. (And what, North Carolina is the Center of the Food Universe???)

2) That's what you get for buying a house on the corner in an iffy neighborhood. Never buy a house on the corner. I don't care where you live, the corner is the gathering place for assholes. Even worse in an iffy neighborhood.

Because reason is smart, he purposely bought a house in the middle of the street.

Trust me, you do NOT want to stick around and experience it first hand if it heads here. They shut down flights after a certain time (9pm on 08/12 when Charley was bearing down on us) Traffic is an unbelievable nightmare. If it heads this way leave sooner if anything...

Three concentric eyewalls and pressure at 935 MB, this could become one bad ass strom.

TCDAT1
HURRICANE FRANCES DISCUSSION NUMBER 30
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 AM EDT WED SEP 01 2004

REPORTS FROM THE LATEST AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER MONITORING FRANCES SHOW MAXIMUM FLIGHT-LEVEL WINDS AT 700 MB OF 123 KT...DOWN A LITTLE FROM THE EARLIER FLIGHT. HOWEVER...THE CENTRAL PRESSURE HAS DROPPED TO 935 MB. BASED ON THIS...THE INITIAL INTENSITY WILL REMAIN 120 KT FOR THIS ADVISORY. THE WSR-88D AT SAN JUAN SHOWS THAT FRANCES HAS CONCENTRIC EYEWALLS...AND THE AIRCRAFT DATA SHOWS THREE CONCENTRIC WIND MAXIMA. INDEED...ON THE LATEST PASS THROUGH THE SOUTHEASTERN QUADRANT THE HIGHEST WIND WAS IN THE MAXIMA ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTER EYEWALL.

THE INITIAL MOTION IS A WOBBLY 285/15. FRANCES REMAINS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WHICH LARGE-SCALE MODELS FORECAST TO WEAKEN SOMEWHAT OVER THE NEXT 72 HR. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE HURRICANE TO MOVE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. DYNAMICAL MODEL GUIDANCE AGREES WITH THIS SCENARIO...EXCEPT FOR THE GFDL WHICH CONTINUES TO CALL FOR A UNREALISTIC LOOKING MOTION TOWARD THE NORTHWEST. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST THROUGH 72 HR IS SHIFTED A LITTLE WEST OF THE PREVIOUS TRACK BASED MAINLY ON THE INITIAL POSITION AND MOTION AND IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DYNAMICAL GUIDANCE. AFTER 72 HR...THERE IS DIVERGENCE IN THE GUIDANCE AS A SHORTWAVE RIDGE DEVELOPS NORTH OF FRANCES OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK FOR THAT TIME IS SHIFTED TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE PREVIOUS TRACK...ALTHOUGH NOT AS FAR AS THE UKMET WHICH MARCHES FRANCES WESTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA AND INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO.

THE INTENSITY FORECAST IS MODIFIED ONLY SLIGHTLY FROM THE PREVIOUS PACKAGE. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FAVORABLE THROUGH AT LEAST 36-48 HR...SO FRANCES SHOULD REMAIN STRONG. A SLIGHT WEAKENING IS
INDICATED AT 72 HR BASED ON LAND INTERACTION AND SOME POSSIBLE WESTERLY SHEAR. THE MAIN CONTROLLING FACTOR ON INTENSITY WILL BE THE STRUCTURE OF FRANCES AND CONCENTRIC EYEWALL CYCLES...BOTH OF WHICH ARE DIFFICULT AT BEST TO TIME. GIVEN THE CURRENT STRUCTURE OF THE HURRICANE...CHANGES IN INTENSITY WILL LIKELY BE RELATIVELY SLOW TO OCCUR.
