SUBTROPICAL STORM GABRIELLE

[kg4kww]

This could be a wash out or it could be a wash out.

Maybe I'm wrong and tell me if I am but be nice.

I don't think that the HWN will activate for this as it not a big deal. That's my thought.

Dang! If she was going to come ashore anyway, the least she could have done was head due West where we could sure use the rain!

[kg4kww]

Doesn't look to be real bad, but, I did get some extra supplies.

Thanks for the "scoop". I just couldn't remember where I put that URL for the Weather Channel.

And an extra special thanks for widening the borders of the thread with the special weather alert graphic. A very nice touch.

Flooding will be something to be aware of in storms like this http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif .

[kn4ds]

Get the gensets gassed up, gang, make sure you've got plenty of bottled water and canned goods!!

In other words... everybody panic!!!

[n4sva]

Come on guys. Sitting in 90 degree heat for 5 days without power is fun. Even better, is waiting in a gas line for 2 hours, where only super unleaded is available, only to get to the pump to have the clerk tell you they are out of fuel.

Haven't heard squat on 14.325 or 14.300

[kn4ds]

OH MY!!!! GET THOSE PREPARATIONS COMPLETED!!! THE WIND MIGHT BLOW AT 45 MPH!!!!

C'mon, Greggy... 45 MPH is considered a nice summer breeze in southern Oklahoma where I grew up.

You really gotta get off the &quot;EVERYBODY PANIC&quot; boat, man.

Why would you hear anything? It's a tropical storm... sorta.

So it might be a little windy on the Outer Banks... and maybe it'll rain a little bit...

What, exactly, makes you think a hurricane watch net is needed? Seriously... please answer that.

Are you scared some plastic chairs might fly off someone's deck and ARES won't be there to cover it and provide emergency communications?
