Geos Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Just enough ash has fallen here to make the cars filthy. Yuck. Same here. Ash is still falling from the sky.

Front Ranger Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 The smoke and east winds have certainly messed with things more than a little bit. All in all this has been the driest and smokiest summer I've ever seen. It hasn't even seemed like the same climate this year. It's literally been the driest 2.5 month stretch in SEA history, so I don't doubt that one bit. Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancouverIslandSouth Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Everything looks pretty orange up here this morning, the temperature was in the mid-70s most of last night other but somehow made it down to 68F at 4am before bouncing back 76F. That makes this the warmest night this summer and pretty ridiculous for September in this area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 The train continues..topical storm Jose has now formed behind Irma, forecast to become a hurricane.

Phil Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Sorry about the perpetual OT posts, but I have to say that, if Irma avoids interaction with Cuba, this could very well be one of the worst natural disasters in US history. Irma is now at 180mph, gusts to 220mph, and SSTs/shear only grow more conducive to development over the next 5+ days. Much of my family, including my 91 year old grandmother, lives in Miami, FL, so I'm pretty worried right now. That area has many more skyscrapers now than it did back when Andrew struck in 1992, and the population has soared. Not a good scenario. Edit, now up to 185mph. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
