Bleeding heat to the Stratisphere and beyond.     There was a long discussion on this some time back.

That is really exemplary.  And speaking of cool.  Do we have a timeseries comparison along that West African coast?

Don't know if this will be a hurricane or tropical storm. Hope you fare well with it Glenn.

Thanks,  Going to be some heavy rain and wind on the coast.  Good news is recent model runs have this moving a little faster.  Looking at 10-15 inches of rain in my area and 50 mph gusts.  Manageable.  With that being said I won't breathe a sigh of relief until the center of circulation gets to my east.

Hold fast, Mr. Glenn. As long as he keeps moving you have a chance to avoid a Claudette or an Agnes reprise. Good luck, brother.

Good luck Glenn.  I was trying to imagine 10-15 inches of rain in a day here.  Found NWS max daily county rainfall for SE MO - SW KY - NW TN showing a range from ~8 to 10 inches as the historical daily max.  Nothing yet on Central MO.  It takes no brains to understand that elevation is the key.  We have it ... and I occupy it.  It is unfortunate that Houston doesn't have it.  Coastal Texas has already been washed flat.

Thanks for all the love! It got down right sporty here last night as we were on the bad side of a strengthening hurricane. At about 2AM I lost a big oak tree that landed on my wife's car. Sounded like a freight train outside so being as my house is surrounded by big oaks I thought it prudent to get everyone up and get in an interior hallway until the worst passed.

Lots of trees down in my neighborhood, a few landed on houses but overall very little structural damage. Officially 6-8 inches of rain was commonplace. Having rode out my share of these over the years I was surprised by the winds on this one. Gusts 60 to 70 mph were common and that was a little unexpected being as I am 30 miles or so inland from the coast.

Hundreds of thousands of homes without power this morning. The bad news is it is forecast to stall over Louisiana and dump rain. Something they do not need.

Sounds a little bit like Zeta here on the Coast last October.  It continued to strengthen even after the center crossed the coast, and it scared the you know what out of me.  That said, glad your house is more or less OK, Mr. Glenn.  Now we have to deal with the rain of a slow mover over here.  I've already had .75" at my station, and from the look of things I'm expecting at 5" more, and maybe much more.  NOLA doesn't need this.
