It will almost certainly rain. A couple of words of advice to anybody traveling here: - Bring a good rain poncho - Bring clear plastic ziplock bags for your cellphones and cameras

While it looks encouraging, we're not out of the woods yet. This thing could literally "go south" on us and make one big mess. The most important thing to do is keep an eye on the situation. Anybody who has to travel to get here should think through a contingency plan. If you have a backup plan, you'll be in a better position to deal with whatever Mother Nature throws at us

I'd hate to go to any concert where the band is cowering at the back of the covered part of the stage, while the audience gets drenched by torrential rain. Even the Stones. They wouldn't be able to use the runways, even in a slight drizzle. IIRC, they've made it through every show of the tour without having to use their B-stageless "Rain" setlist. It would be a shame t

The latest forecast puts it about 50 miles east of Boca Raton at 8pm Saturday. That's still close enough to cause a lot of rain. Curiously, they have not upgraded the intensity. Still will be a very strong tropical storm.

Good News / Bad News This evening's spaghetti model runs are hinting a track even farther north (north of WPB ). I think that may be reflected in the 11pm forecast track. The problem is that a northern track probably means it will be a hurricane at landfall. Also, we'll probably still get a glancing "blow" in Miami. Damn, Dorian. Buy yourself a ticket!

I finally received the tie-dyed shirt that I ordered on July 8. Sure doesn't look like the pictures. It's white with little dribbles of blue on the top half. The shirt is very shear (thin) and the white areas are very translucent (fair warning to the women).

Miami's now in the "cone of death" for Saturday, August 31. The 5pm update predicts that as of 2pm on Saturday, Dorian will be a tropical storm with sustained winds of 70mph (a hurricane begins at 75mph) and gusts up to 85mph. The center of Dorian will be about 120 miles due East of downtown Miami, but the outer edge of the storm will already cover Miami. If the storm takes a

The map graphic updates in place, so you don't have to repost it every time there's an update. Maybe once a page would be nice, but we don't need to scroll through 10 miles of the same updated map on each page. If you don't believe me, look at the time stamp on the first copy and the most recent -- they're the same. The latest forecast puts it as Tropical Storm Dorian

Don't be too quick to brush this off. We all need to keep an eye on this. Anybody who's lived in Miami for 35 years was here for Andrew, plus quite a few relatively minor direct hits and over a dozen very messy near-misses. It's not too early to follow Dorian and consider contingency plans. The water is very warm in the Caribbean, so it's very possible that this will re-int

Hey, guys, we don't need to keep posting maps from the National Hurricane Center. The small map I linked to from the NHC will update automatically. So will the large version rlj1010 was kind enough to post. We won't need any more. Dorian is expected to weaken as it passes over mountains and moves through a pocket of dry air, but there is less shear and a ton of hot moist air when it

Now called Tropical Storm Dorian, and on a path that is of concern for Florida. If this graphic link from NOAA works, it may update every 6 hours.

Tropical Depression #5 ... ... is currently over the Atlantic, but is expected to become a hurricane by Wednesday and is projected to be in the vicinity of Puerto Rico at 8am Thursday. On its present course, it will be a hurricane in the Bahamas Saturday morning and could be heading for South Florida. Sadly, this time, I'm not joking!

I don't know if the 2022 NHL Winter Classic will be played in Chicago, but I'd venture a guess that the NHL would never get the Stones to play at an outdoor hockey game on New Year's Day.

Has anybody received a tour shirt ordered through rollingstonesshop yet? I ordered $150 worth of tour merch at the beginning of July, but haven't heard anything but that my order was confirmed, and my credit card was charged. They estimated that it would ship within 4-5 weeks, and I'm coming up on 6 weeks now. It looks like I might not receive it before my local show.

QuoteStoneage If they shortened the 8 minutes songs to 5½ and the 12½ minute song (MR) to 8 they would make room for at least 5 more songs... If they would just play everything in double time, they could play 38 songs.
