Soggy in Dallas.
We didn't even get enough wind to blow the umbrellas off the pool deck. A few sprinkles, and that was it.
Actually, it was a gorgeous day on the island, for practically no one to enjoy.
That storm threw up a great swell here for the past week or so. Been surfing every day I can on 4-6 foot waves. You californians can laugh but this is a good week for us.
Dalwhinni? Any you posted it! Hang your head in shame! "The gentle one"... Go get some Laphroaig and cut it half and half. Between the two you should end up with one decent Scotch. :wink2:Current track puts us in Fort Worth in the bullseye too. Going to be wet. I'm ready.
Tropical storms always seem to be overhyped. Ive lived in 'cane country my whole life and Tropical Storms are just big thunderstorms most of the time, the problem is when they downgrade from hurricane to TS because the storm surge is still significant.
Brown ocean effect is the term describing how tropical cyclones can maintain strength or intensify over land surfaces. Tropical Storm Erin is an example of the brown ocean effect, when the storm intensified over Oklahoma in 2007. In Australia such storm systems are called agukabams. A 2013 NASA study found that from 227 tropical cyclones after landfall, 16 strengthened, because of the brown effect.
The press release stated, The land essentially mimics the moisture-rich environment of the ocean, where the storm originated. Another study concluded that latent surface heat flux from land surfaces have the potential to actually be larger than from the ocean, albeit for brief periods only
I bought a bottle of Laphroaig a couple of years ago. It took a while, but I finished it. By the end of the bottle I was almost used to the band-aide smell/taste. It is a bit strong for me, but acceptable. Dalwhinnie is just too wimpy...no flavor.
Bombay Sapphire, in particular.
Never heard of the "Brown Ocean" thing until today on the Weather Channel.

Everyone that I know that says they don't like Scotch,After 40 years of drinking every known intoxicating beverage on this planet, I still fail to understand the love affair with scotch whiskey. To me, it's nothing but varying flavors of rubbing alcohol.
Now, if we want to talk about the sublime variations of gin, that's a conversation worth having.
