theres alot more than leaks on the dorms


thats just two things wrong with just my front door, idk if you can tell the paint job on the door is the sloppiest paint job ive ever seen. Theres alot more mistakes in the actual room, such as one of our walls where the closet is, the frame of the door was cut pretty slanted and ends about 2 inches higher than it started

[PAmedic]

been raining for 4 days straight up here so I am used to it

[SuperJon]

Rain doesn't bother dwarves.

[A.G.]

Neither does bad spelling. It is DWARFS, BTW.

[SuperJon]

Is it? Why did I think it was dwarves? That's really weird. I went back and forth between the two and settled on the v. Oh well.

[A.G.]

Wife is one
Wives are more than one--(if you are a glutton for punishment or head of a morman spin-off sect.)

Easy mistake to make. Knife. Knives.

Just remember, Snow White and the Seven Medics, uhm, I mean Dwarfs.

[SuperJon]

I know that. That's why I don't realize how I screwed it up.

[A.G.]

Now, back to your meteorolgical happenings.

Latest local forecast up to 80% chance of heavy rain Thursday and Thursnight, now. Not looking good.

[SuperJon]

Break out the trash bags.

[qkslvrsrfrboy]

some of the greatest football games have been full of rain. and a funny quote from last fridays convo, when Barber said he had a message for st. paul, and that was to pack a lunch, because they had a hard days work ahead of them. Some kid in my row woke up and was like "why are we packing a lunch? now im hungry"

[01LUGrad]

Be sure to cut holes in them before you put them on.

[SuperJon]

Yea, that'd prolly be good.

[PAmedic]

looks like the storm is speeding up? ? ?

we're definitely getting wet.

[SuperJon]

Insert Mrs. Second Baseman jokes here.

[whmatthews]

According to the station back home WITN (a Eastern North Carolina news channel) Ernesto could impact the coast of North Carolina by Thursday or Friday? I don't know if that's just outer bands or what just reaching the area that late in the week. If so, we should be good for the game, but further down on the page it says the forecast is 60% chance of rain for Wednesday night and 70% for Thursday night. The headline on drudgereport.com is that Ernesto is getting weaker.

[PAmedic]

0610 and now LANGs computer model says it doesn't hit the Mt until Fri AM

whew

[A.G.]

727 and the NWS forecast says rain, and lots of it. 90% Thursday, 80% Thursnight. Rains are supposed to move in towards the afternoon, meaning a very wet Fire Drill tonite.

Flash flood watch from this evening through Friday afternoon

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BLACKSBURG HAS ISSUED A

* FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA... NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA...CENTRAL VIRGINIA...SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA... SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND WEST CENTRAL VIRGINIA...INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING AREAS...IN NORTH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA...CASWELL...ROCKINGHAM... STOKES AND SURRY IN NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA...WILKES AND YADKIN IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA...AMHERST... APPOMATTOX...BUCKINGHAM AND CAMPBELL IN SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA... BEDFORD...CHARLOTTE...HALIFAX... HENRY AND PITTSYLVANIA IN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA...CARROLL...FLOYD AND PATRICK IN WEST CENTRAL VIRGINIA... BOTETOURT...FRANKLIN... ROANOKE AND ROCKBRIDGE.

* FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON

* A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION WITH COPIOUS MOISTURE. THE REMAINS OF TROPICAL STORM ERNESTO WILL BE APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THE CURRENT TRACK FORECAST FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER TAKES ERNESTO ACROSS FLORIDA AND BACK INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN BRIEFLY BEFORE A SECOND LANDFALL AS A STRONG TROPICAL STORM ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS OF THURSDAY. THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK ALMOST DUE NORTH THROUGH THE NORTH CAROLINA PIEDMONT...CROSSING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. THE FUTURE TRACK OF ERNESTO WILL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN EVENTUAL RAINFALL FROM THIS STORM. CURRENT FORECASTS SUGGEST THAT ANYWHERE FROM TO 1 TO 4 INCHES COULD FALL ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNTS EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. STRONG EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW OF 20 TO POSSIBLY 40 MPH INTO THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS WILL PRODUCE ENHANCED AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL ALONG EAST FACING SLOPES. RAINFALL IN EXCESS OF 5 INCHES IS VERY POSSIBLE IN FAVORED LOCATIONS OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR BOTH FLASH FLOODING FROM THUNDERSTORM RAINFALL BEFORE ERNESTO ARRIVES...AND WIDESPREAD RIVER FLOODING FROM THE INCOMING TROPICAL SYSTEM. BASINS MOST AT RISK FOR RIVER FLOODING INCLUDE THE ROANOKE...DAN...AND JAMES RIVER BASINS. ONE MITIGATING FACTOR AGAINST THE FLOOD AND FLASH FLOOD RISK IS THE VERY DRY WEATHER OVER MUCH OF THE REGION IN THE PAST 30 DAYS OR SO. DEPENDING ON RAINFALL RATES THE GROUND MAY BE ABLE TO ABSORB A LOT OF RAINFALL BEFORE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING BEGINS.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.

[PAmedic]

we get those quite frequently over the printer here at work- wouldn't get too worked up about it.

Definitely something to keep an eye on , though

[LU'sbestmanager]

727 and the NWS forecast says rain, and lots of it. 90% Thursday, 80% Thursnight. Rains are supposed to move in towards the afternoon, meaning a very wet Fire Drill tonite.

maybe they can do a last min. change and move it to the vines

[hurricane fan]

the last i heard was it was in the stadium only. light rain the drill would stilll go on...anything heavy was going to cancel the drill altogether.

[bigsmooth]

that fire drill needs to go on heavy rain or shine!

[LUconn]

I'm no weatherman, But I don't see how this would effect us

[A.G.]

Perhaps because the rain is typically a couple hundred miles ahead of the center.

[Chris Lang]

That's in a large hurricane, A.G. This thing is going to be a dwarf TD by the time it hits Virginia. I'm really more concerned about Friday night football, since the high schools around here seem wont to call off games if it's raining.

Got a round of golf in this morning though.
