I guess this no longer is a newsgroup where anything abstract can be
discussed without the usual pack of assholes (I'm not putting you in
this group, Joe) immediately jumping on and seeing if they can destroy
the discussion.

Is it possible you telling someone you would like to see a bus hit them, or
that you would shot someone with your gun to keep them away from you, could
possible have any influence as to how you are treated in this NG?

The latest forecast for Chesapeake Bay:

Tonight
NE wind increasing to 25 to 30 kt with gusts up to 40 kt...then N 35 to
40 kt with gusts up to 50 kt after midnight. Waves 2 ft...building to 5
ft after midnight. Widespread heavy rain and scattered tstms in the
evening tapering to scattered showers overnight.


Gusts up to 50 mph? On the Bay...

Too bad it'll be dark...watching five footers or more on the Bay would
be a sight to see.






Really? 5 footers in Sandusky Bay off Lake Erie are not uncommon. Why
are
you so excited about 5 footers in the Chesapeake? I would guess the Bay
has
some pretty nasty seas at times...5 footers are certainly not nasty
although
the winds forecasted certainly are.

Have you ever been out in anything other than 1-2 footers Harry?




The Bay is relatively shallow, Dennis, and where we are, not very wide.

As is Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay. 5 footers on either of them are not
uncommon.


There are significant portions of the shoreline barely above sea level.
With any kind of wind, five foot waves riding on top of a storm surge on
top of water that may only be three to four feet deep out a half mile to
nearly a mile in some places leads to an interesting visual.

What sort of storm surge is expected on the Bay? I do not recall any talk
about storm surges on the Chesapeake Bay resulting from Charley. Got a
link?


I finally figured you out Jim. Krause pays to to post. That way, his posts are
discussed more widely than they might be. That's it isn't it? You and your sock
puppets are foils for krause.

How much are you paid? Is it enough to life off of? Enquiring minds want to know.

only hoary would differeniate between "thinking" and "reasoning".

... incapable of abstract thinking or reasoning.

foot ocean waves were common. We live adjacent to Chesapeake Bay now,
and five foot waves are not common

hoary, don't worry about it. the chesa is too shallow to support five foot
waves that aren't breaking, and breaking waves don't make much distance.

I have been on small lakes in a storm with 20 knot winds, that had 3 to 5
ft. waves,

no you haven't. 20 knots winds take a long time and long fetch to get to be 3
to 5 foot waves, and even then you need water most usually deeper than is found
in a "small lake".

On the other
hand, I would love to see a body of water, 2 to 3 ft. deep making waves 3 to
5ft deep. I am not sure, but I don't think it is physically possible.

it isn't possible.

Thinking is thought, cogitation, meditation, mental action or activity,
while reasoning is the process by which one judgement is deduced from
another or others which are given. One can think abstractly or reason
abstractly, separately or simultaneously. One can also think or reason
without involving the abstract, as it were.

How's your narrative thinking? Better than your abstract thinking?

Last year during the hurricane, some Bay towns had four foot waves
breaking on their streets. They moved enough to remove houses from their
foundations.

no they didn't. they four feet of water on their streets, but they most
certainly did not have foot waves on their streets. To have four foot waves
they would need water about 40 feet deep, give or take a bit depending on how
steep the waves were.

They moved enough to remove houses from their
foundations.
