It's really raining, on and off every hour.

This bouy is out in the 60 knot tropical storm...almost a hurricane on any
TV station, Weather Channel, NWS website.....

Notice how the surface winds near the 60 knot winds, directly in front of
the storm that's now just off Charleston are reading:

Wind Direction (WDIR): E ( 80 deg true )
5-day plot - Wind Speed Wind Speed (WSPD): 25.3 kts
5-day plot - Wind Gust Wind Gust (GST): 29.1 kts
5-day plot - Wave Height Wave Height (WVHT): 14.1 ft
5-day plot - Dominant Wave Period Dominant Wave Period (DPD): 11
sec
5-day plot - Average Period Average Period (APD): 7.5 sec

Is television telling lies to scare people into panic buying at WalMart and
the other advertisers' stores? It certainly looks this way from here.....

Hell, they were standing in a long line this morning to buy propane!

Seas 22 ft at 2330 EDT out on bouy 41004....impressive.

But it's not making it to Folly Beach by the harbor entrance. Wind there
is only 12 knots now down from 20 knots. There's a big hurricane party
right on the beach at the Windjammer bar (www.jammercam.com) you can watch
near realtime....(c;
