Lowcountry weather watchers would do well to bookmark Jared W. Smith: The Blog, since Jared is a heavy-duty weather blogger (who, by the way, also happens to be a published tech author and a 22-year-old C of C student). TV meteorologist Brian Goode also keeps a useful weather blog. But others have things to say, too...
Vera's Crafty Blog:
At the time of this writing, we are just getting the beginning bands of the storm. Schools are closed, shelters are open, and the media is is full panic tilt. I just looked outside, and the weather is humid and still, although it should go downhill very soon... If you want to know what other Charleston bloggers are writing about Ernesto, do check out our blog planet. There are some excellent storm updates there.
Munificent Musings:
Again this storm showcases the problems associated with predicting more
than 2 days from landfall. Yet, to be fair, I’m glad that professionals
are there to give us advanced warning. Specifically I’m talking about
the NWS people and not the talking heads on the local news.
Tales from the Microbial Laboratory:
(From last night) If the forecast was at all linked to my adrenalin level (which,
gratefully, it is not), we'd all be taking naps and making pots of soup
and looking forward to tomorrow like it's the snow day we all so desperately need and deserve.
The Chip Mathis Experience:
(From last night) Oh My God, They're Already On the Beaches... The damn weather reporters, that is. I'm watching Count On 2 news, and they already have reporters out, to report conditions on the ground. And we don't expect the storm to hit until, you know, tomorrow. After lunch.
I'm having serious problems with my host at the worst possible time. Please also consult http://jaredwsmith.wordpress.com for updates.
