Mr. Sinister Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Wasn't there a meteorologist (or something along those lines) that used to post in these threads name Homercles-something? Wonder what happened to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what happened to him. Homercerles82...he hasn't posted since Feb. 2011 probably not on the board any longer... He was verry big in posting during the winter storm in 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBoz Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 For the weather pros: What are the best websites for tracking the hurricane and getting up to date information? This is the best site on the internet as far as I'm concerned. However, with all the traffic over there it seems to have crashed. I'm sure it will be up an running again soon though. Lots of professional meteorologists over there with a wealth of knowledge. They have a main weather forum as well as a regional forum so you can read about your specific location. www.americanwx.com/bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins4Life6388 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 My coworker in Bethesda lost power for more than a week following the Derecho. Good luck. Thanks for the well wishes. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullnelson9999 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The power is gonna be out on Wednesday I'm sure, which means I'm going to miss a show I've been waiting 3 months to see. I'm not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 actually, wasn't it Jie? or am i thinking of a different forum? Ji posts (posted) on a ton of DC sports forums. He was almost always wrong with his weather predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 When there are high winds you want to get all the stuff in your yard that could get tossed around secured. The Derecho threw a fold up chair in to my neighbors' sliding glass door, wasn't pretty. Sticks, wind chimes, tools...also clean your gutters on Sunday. ---------- Post added October-26th-2012 at 02:05 PM ---------- Ji posts (posted) on a ton of DC sports forums.He was almost always wrong with his weather predictions. Ji was the clumsiest poster of all time. One of the most ego-crushing threads ever made was one of his threads. "Okay, so this chick has got me" (or something to that effect).

Sticksboi05 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 I don't see how it would be any worse than when they call for 1-2 feet of snow. As far as water bottle are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't around for those big storms, and in Minneapolis they didn't give a ****. I think ppl are more nervous now bc we just had the Derecho.

As far as water bottle are concerned. 1-2 feet of snow doesn't have a history of widespead power outages...at least in MD. BGE and Pepco don't exactly have the best record. Right now there's still tons of trees with lots of leaves still on them. Add in a soaked ground and high winds, and a lot of trees will be coming down on power lines.

Add in a soaked ground and high winds, and a lot of trees will be coming down on power lines. I'd dispute that. The snowstorm that hit after the Blizzard of 2010 caused 100'000s of power outages in the Mid-Atlantic. '96, '03, '09, '10 you name it, blizzards cause tons of power outages. Different reasons of course but I was simply referring to the fact that water bottles will be in as little supply as they are when we are under a blizzard warning expecting 2 feet of snow with 40-50 mph gusts.

Also, the fact that sometimes you cant get out of the house for days at a time, even with the power, water bottles are key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandymac27 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 If you go to the store and they're out of bottled water, take empty gallons of milk, 2 Liter soda bottles, etc and fill them all up with water now if you have to. Also, fill the tub with clean water before the power goes out so you can still flush the toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
