wake up jerk! You gotta make your wife tacos....
Nah, I wasn't really sleeping, it was all an illusion... I'm busy thinking, thinking about cones and stuff. I've gotten to the point where I'd like to punch the cone right in its "uncertainties."
Irene has made a pronounced shift... the track seems to take it through the Outer Banks and then on to New England where this will be a big problem.
But first, this thing is just going to wreck the Bahamas.
I'm not going to post a cone tonight... though it's easy to find... just click here.
As far as what we're going to get in Jacksonville... winds gusting to 40 or 50 at the beach Friday. 25 foot seas off shore... and 10-15 foot surf. Huge surfing weekend, in fact you can will $1000 if you get a pic of yourself on the largest wave. Salt Life is putting on a big wave contest, click here to learn about that.
Things will rapidly improve and get pretty decent for the weekend.
Speaking of the large waves, that'll mean large erosion as well. Not don't everyone get all excited at once! I know the talk of erosion gets most people so worked up they can't contain their emotions, but hang with me for a second.
So Army Corps of Engineers just finished an $11 million beach renourishment. Pumped a bunch of sand onto 6.7 miles of beach. And now Irene is gonna come and suck some of it up in the backwash of some large waves.
And the Army Corps are cool with it. That's what it's there for... to protect the beach and especially the dunes... that way those aren't washed out to sea.
As for my loafers full of sand... I'll just put that in a bag and see if the ACOE will cut me a check.
