I think it's Georges he's referring to - I remember it as well. It stayed on the NHC track but that track had a fairly late move to the N and NE. Until that point, it was heading directly for New Orleans and the city evacuated (and some models had a hit).
Nash Roberts famously continued to tell people it was going to turn, but it was bearing down on the mouth of the river. It did, however, make that turn and hit Biloxi.
Forecaster Is Right On for Gulf Storms (Published 1998)
Nash Charles Roberts Jr, 80-year-old television weatherman in New Orleans, correctly forecasts Hurricane Georges veering away toward Biloxi, even as colleagues grimly echo computer predictions of direct hit; photo; Robertshas been predicting storms for 50 years, and has legendary record for...www.nytimes.com
Charleston had the same thing a few years ago. A Cat 4 hurricane coming right at you is scary, even if the forecast (with confidence) is that it will turn. You still have to evacuate because if it doesn't turn, it's too late.
Yeah, not a lot going on there.. GFS has it fizzle and maybe send a wave to florida.. Euro looked like it went into mexico.
Last I saw, it looked like Bermuda and maybe Nova Scotia would have to watch this. I don't think it will go far enough west to threaten the US.Teddy may also turn out to be an east coast runner. Models are still shifting west
That wasn't the way I recall it being covered in the New Orleans area. Keep in mind that Georges was the first storm where New Orleans-area parishes started calling for evacuations of the city and immediate suburbs. I can't remember if they were mandatory or voluntary evacuations, but the powers that be called them.I believe you may be thinking of Ivan, Georges had Biloxi in the cross hairs the minute it exited the Dominican Republic.
She did? What's the story there? I remember her "water, water everywhere!" comment (which kind of followed her for a few years) ... but I didn't know she actually got in real trouble with the station.Yep, Bob Breck and Nash Roberts had a little sparring match over the path and Margaret Orr lost herself on air and got reprimanded for it.
I guess our boy bclemms is in Pensacola right now, at least according to his footage that theyre showing on MSNBC as i type this.
