Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

SOUND OFF!!! Ever have something REALLY bugging you and nowhere to vent about it? Well, this is the place. It does not have to be fauna oriented at all! Get it off your chest right here. |

Now this is what you call a very well defined eyewall for a hurricane.

With all the hype from the news people I expected a lot more adverse weather by now. So far there is a bit of lightning, some rain and light wind, no flooding anywhere I can see in my neighborhood. So not a big deal yet.

Hopefully that will be the worst that you go through with this. How far are you from the actual eye of the storm?

Three hours later, about the same, just some rain which is draining off well. The winds are not high at all. I am about 160 miles from Rockport, the little city where Harvey made landfall.

Thank you I am fine. I don't know whether in the next few days it might start to rain or bring other issues but as of now it hasn't rained for hours, the wind is minimal. From media reports this storm was going to be a deadly tiger, so far it has been a baby kitten here.

Well, I hope they just blew this all out of proportion. Although I have to admit, looking at the weather radar, I guess I was expecting this would be pretty bad too. Maybe they just don't make hurricanes like they used to?
I really do hope this turns out to be a nothingburger. But in their shoes, I guess I would have over-hyped it too, rather than down playing the danger.
