Are you anywhere near there? Billy I live in kingsport/ johnson city its a hour or so east of knoxville. I heard of morristown i just cant figure out where it is. ma71supraturbo 09-21-2005, 08:51 PM Well its now the strongest hurricane on record for that region and appears to be turning north skeeter019 09-21-2005, 08:53 PM ahhh its getting even worse GotToyota? 09-21-2005, 09:47 PM I'm in Fort Worth, which is in the Central part of Texas. From what I've heard, the storm won't be as bad for us, just heavy rain and strong wind. skeeter019 09-21-2005, 09:49 PM did i hear right that there are winds up to 175 mph now ma71supraturbo 09-21-2005, 09:59 PM yeah, but they're saying it might fizzle to a "mere" category 4 before landfall GotToyota? 09-21-2005, 10:35 PM yeah, but they're saying it might fizzle to a "mere" category 4 before landfall Oh man, this is gonna suck. ma71supraturbo 09-22-2005, 08:49 PM It's been downgraded to a category 4, but is starting to spawn feeder bands which have tropical-storm level winds. These are already hitting the LA coast as the hurricane looks to land on the TX/LA coastal border Billy@precision 09-23-2005, 07:25 AM I live in kingsport/ johnson city its a hour or so east of knoxville. I heard of morristown i just cant figure out where it is. Morristown is about 30 minutes northwest of knoxville. I have been to Johnson City a couple of times, dont rermember much about the place only that ive been there. Have you ever gone to Gatlinburgh or Sevierville near Dollywood? skeeter019 09-23-2005, 08:42 AM Morristown is about 30 minutes northwest of knoxville. I have been to Johnson City a couple of times, dont rermember much about the place only that ive been there. Have you ever gone to Gatlinburgh or Sevierville near Dollywood? I have been to gatlinburg a few times last time i went was for the mini-truckin nationals. Yah i just found out last night that marristown isnt to far away had to ask somebody. Tony! 09-23-2005, 02:54 PM Well I am just so delighted that it is now a Cat 3 hurricane, and not a 4 or 5!. It was at its max packing 175 MPH sustained winds, now that number has dropped to 125 MPH winds. I would have hoped for it to go back out to sea, but I know it has little chance of doing that. Maybe it can still weaken though. Come on category 2! That would be awesome if it drops to a cat 2 before landfall. *My info is based on this site, if anyone wonders: http://www.weather.com/newscenter/tropical/?from=tabset ma71supraturbo 09-23-2005, 09:29 PM It's making landfall now. Thankfully as a 3, but there will still be damage done -- that I'm sure SPDu4ea 09-23-2005, 11:01 PM Yup, fires breaking out with no one to fight them... And 2 FEET of rain expected :eek: | |
