We have states of emergency in effect for 2 of the 3 counties we deliver to out of our center. One of them is for 5 days, which I am sure is precautionary. I live in one of the counties but fully expect the driving ban to be lifted by tomorrow morning and for most of us to be on the road tomorrow. 4.11" of rain so far.

Fearless Leader “Takes Charge” At Hurricane Command Center…
More like a pathetic photo-op.
OR, the real reason he was there........he was sick of 9 full days with Michelle.
Maybe he should have been standing on an aircraft carrier with a "Mission Accomplished" banner in the background.

I looked at that post and I guess I was reading something into it that wasn't there. Sorry.

I strongly disagree. Did you see the damage from surge in CT and also river flooding? The surge in parts of CT near HVN went .8 mile inland. For a weak hurricane/strong tropical storm, it was a pretty decent hit and a good wake-up.
Could it have been worse? Absolutely. This year? Unlikely, but not impossible.

One of the many home videos I made. Haven't begun to sort through everything. This video was taken approximately 1/2 mile inland, the winds were much more sustained along the immediate exposed coastline.
We had nearly 10 hours of wind like this.

Well most of the computer models have TD #12 just entering the "bears cage" centered around Day 7 (15N/60W). Infact the gfs ensembles almost unanimously show this , with a strong storm poised in a similar position to Irene. Given the model agreement there, it is nearly a slam dunk for whatever becomes of TD-12 to at least be in position to make a run at the U.S.
Given the tropical seasonal trends thus far, moderate LA Nina, negative PDO and NAO cycle, favorable MJO in the Indian ocean...I give TD-12 a 20% chance of coming across and affecting the U.S. That is very high odds for a Cape Verde storm (generally 5% directly affect the U.S.)

If so I wouldn't worry too much--it will talk a good game but in the end will be no worse than an April shower.

It would probably dissipate upon reaching Cuba.
DISSIPATE, v.t. [L., to throw.]
1. To scatter; to disperse; to drive asunder. Wind dissipates fog; the [COLOR=#FFFFFF !important]heat of the sun[/COLOR] dissipates vapor; mirth dissipates [COLOR=#FFFFFF !important]care and[/COLOR] [COLOR=#FFFFFF !important]anxiety[/COLOR]; the cares of life tend to dissipate serious reflections. Scatter, disperse and dissipate are in many cases synonymous; but dissipate is used appropriately to denote the dispersion of things that vanish, or are not afterwards collected; as, to dissipate fog, vapor or clouds. We say, an army is scattered or dispersed, but not dissipated. Trees are scattered or dispersed over a field, but not dissipated.
2. To expend; to squander; to scatter property in wasteful extravagance; to [COLOR=#FFFFFF !important]waste[/COLOR]; to consume; as, a man has dissipated his fortune in the pursuit of pleasure.

It might cause some damage but will leave behind a coupon for 40% off roof repair.
