The following went out as a hurricane Hanna alert this morning. "It is that time of year when my forecasting becomes highly accurate (last year I forecast most if not all of the major storms we encountered on the East Coast from the Richmond through Philadelphia area). The forecasts were highly accurate and gave those on my distribution list as much as 3 days warning of the impending events. You are on this list because either you received my forecasts last year and seemed interested in receiving this year. Or I selected your name from my address book thinking you might appreciate this free service (I have a degree in Meteorology as one of my degrees). To opt out, just return the email with "Not interested" in the subject line. Our first major weather event is Hurricane Hanna. Here is the scoop as of 8 AM September 3, 2008: The Hanna will come ashore on the Florida - Georgia - South Carolina border very early Friday morning and travel north through the Southeaster States fairly quickly as follows: - The eye itself makes landfall by 5 PM Friday, September 5th, on the North and South Carolina border. - By midnight on Friday, Richmond Virginia should see the early signs of the hurricane - probably down to a very strong tropical storm by then. - By 5 AM early Saturday morning, what is left of the eye will be over Richmond - really heavy rain and wind - and the Washington, DC through Philidelphia and points west will be experiencing heavy rain. - All thoughout Saturday, all of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware will be fully engaged with high winds and torrential rain with flooding a very strong likelyhood. - It should slowly move out Sunday but not without heavy tree and powerline damage from wind and rain damage throughout the region. Suggestions: delay travel plans if possible, secure outside objects that might become wind-blown during the storm and stay inside. As with any large hurricane system, tornadoes can develop and cause additional damage. Stay tuned to your local and national weather forecasts and try to plan ahead for power outages - pay attention to your emergency radio broadcasts. As with any forecast, the longer term the forecast, the greater the likehood of change... I will revise this forecast tomorrow if there are any major changes to it. Bill"
