"Hurricane" Arthur Looms - Evacuations Ordered; State Of Emergency Declared
Not so happy 4th of July for residents and visitors of the Outer Banks. As Bloomberg reports, Arthur strengthened off the coast of North Carolina to become the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, packing maximum winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers) per hour. Officials have issued a mandatory evacuation order and a county-wide state of emergency has been declared.
Arthur strengthened off the coast of North Carolina to become the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, packing maximum winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers) per hour.
The system was about 190 miles south-southwest of Cape Fear, North Carolina, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said in an advisory at 5 a.m. local time. It was traveling north at 9 miles per hour and is expected to move near to the North Carolina Outer Banks tonight, the advisory said.
“Hurricane Arthur is going to greatly affect the Outer Banks of North Carolina,” Rob Richards, meteorologist at State College, Pennsylvania-based AccuWeather Inc. said by phone today. “They could see winds as high as maybe 90 to 95 miles per hour with flooding rainfall.”
Arthur would be the first hurricane to hit the U.S. since 2012 should it strike North Carolina’s Outer Banks. A hurricane warning is in place from Surf City, North Carolina, to the border with Virginia, Pamlico Sound and Eastern Albemarle Sound, the notice said.
Officials in Dare County, North Carolina, where at least 250,000 vacationers are spending their Fourth of July holiday, issued a mandatory evacuation order for Hatteras Island beginning today. A countywide state of emergency was declared in neighboring Hyde
County, where officials called for a voluntary evacuation of Ocracoke Island. North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory declared states of emergency throughout coastal areas.
On the bright side the Keynesians will be cock-a-hoop - think of all the broken windows and GDP enhancing growth opportunities.

Batton down the fucking hatches!
Will New Jersey quailfy for an additional $50 billion in funding?
Maybe this one will wash that bridge blocking blob out to sea with it this time!
Wishful thinking. He's trimming down now and is just what the POTUS was looking for in new man candy. Another 60 million will be on the way...
For all your east coast hurricane needs:
http://spaghettimodels.com/
Really,this on 0 H?
The next quarters poor economic results will of course be blamed on weather.
you need to reread your keynes handbook on natural disasters: "....any hurricane is GDP positive as it requires massive spending to get back to status quo, usually provided for with additional federal debt. Therefore, hurricanes are great and most welcome."
LOL...you read my mind. Wouldn't that be awesome if it missed the outer banks and did a dog leg to the left and pounded New Jersey? Then we can hear another 12 months of Jersey Whining about how their illustrious guvmint let them down yet again by not automatically fixing their broke dick houses.
New Jersey loves their big guvmint!
Until its time to pay their property taxes. Then they whine and bitch without end.
Surfs up....should be GOOD for business..
This should be really good for the economy. Just think of all of the broken windows......
Just think of all the shit town hellhole motels that will be filled for a few days. Paying for the vacation home and the dirty motel room. Talk about double penetration!
No, lots of heat out there winding the watch spring on Arthur. It has potential to be a Class 7. Known to tear the earth, level mountains and large skyscrapers in economic annoyances.
http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/overlay=temp/ort...
Suggestions, leave town and stay away from the Ocean for a while.
Can already hear negative GDP guidance due to weather....
Well, once the storm has absorbed enough heat energy drafting in from the overly warm waters, African trade winds, the Caribbean sea and the temperature rises another 12 degrees tomorrow. Should be a hell of a storm, I doubt most of those insurance offices will be standing by the time it lands in NYC and NJ.
Stay off the coasts and water. Might want to request that the nuclear power plants dotting the coastline are powered down as well, it'll go as well as Fukushima is going when they get ripped apart like tissue. Gas will be going up as well, all the refineries are on the coast line.
Bullish!
When does only 75 MPH winds make a Hurricane now....when it gets you on the news every 5 minutes..thats when
75 mph has always been the standard for a Cat 1 Hurricane. What we really ought to be talking about is the over/under of the number of shill reporters who will stand on the outer banks to bring us the 'action'.
First one that gets nailed by a trash bin or newspaper box going 75mph should put a stop to that. 'it isn’t that the wind is blowin’. It’s what the wind is blowin’. If you get hit with a Volvo, it doesn’t really matter how many sit-ups you did that morning.'
Oh please send Steve Liesman out there to get whacked by a flying homeless dude's shopping cart!
The way those words are sequenced, I am imagining the homeless dude flying along with, still hanging on - which increases the comedic value.
all the bankers heading to the outer shores for the weekend have been praying for a good blow job. mother nature was nice enough to give them their wish.
before, it was called just a windy day.
The reason they name them bitches so soon is so they can change (increase) those detuctibles on your insurance policies.
Study: All Employment Growth Since 2000 Went to Immigrants | National Review Online
According to a major new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), net employment growth in the United States since 2000 has gone entirely to immigrants, legal and illegal. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, CIS scholars Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler found that there were 127,000 fewer working-age natives holding a job in the first quarter of 2014 than in 2000, while the number of immigrants with a job was 5.7 million above the 2000 level.
The rapidity with which immigrants recovered from the Great Recession, as well as the fact that they held a disproportionate share of jobs relative to their share of population growth before the recession, help to explain their findings, the authors report. In addition, native-born Americans and immigrants were affected differently by the recession.
Thank the treasonous cunts inside the beltway.
Everyone evacuate to Rockall immediately.
Given the volume of tourists expected to hit the Outer Banks this weekend, there will be a big economic impact there. The GDP may or may not see any effects as people re-schedule or seek other alternatives.
They just blame it the weather.. good for an other 1000 dow jones points
krugman left a sock on the doorknob. do NOT go in there.
Cannot wait to see the flight delays this ones going to cause!
BEA: HURRICANE ARTHUR ALREADY IMPACTING Q2 GDP
BEA: EXPECT GDP FOR Q2 TO COME IN BELOW EXPECTATIONS DUE TO HURRICANE
I want them to change the named storm thing to curse words. Who wants to get their ass handed to them by 'Arthur'? How about 'Asshole' 'Bastard' 'Cocksucker' 'Dickwad' and so on...makes for much more interesting TV weather reporting and you get better bragging rights: 'That Bastard really kicked our asses!'. And the financial shows can then apply the same names to bankers and Fed officers.
How about $andy, $ynthia, and $tacy?
Any name will do other than a Dudley Moore movie.
I just want to see one of those retarded reporters who stand out in the wind get cleaved in half by a piece of debris blowing about.
More ironic: Bankers standing out in the wind and a house drops on them.
Do they wear Red Shoes...I saw that in movie once...
No. They wear slippers!!!
Pretty early in the season.
The winds are maybe 50MPH and might reach Category 1...unless for some obscure reason it reaches Category 2.
Maybe run the BBQ under the shed door or 2nd floor deck.
Come on...50MPH winds ? Just get real.
This story might have bigger impact on Wallstreet than mainstreet.
The Weather...the tea leaves...the scat.
Q2, Q3, Q4 (Q infinity?) GDP all down because of the 'weather'...

Just in time to wash the OCX roads away yet again....
Was just on route 12 this weekend fishing the OBX. There is not a whole lotta dune between the ocean and you. On a sad note, all the piping plovers and whatever other birds they think might be "endangered, threatened, perturbed, or melancholy" and have pretty much shut down Hatteras Island will have to redo their fancy nests.
pods
Seems that many business will be down because of 'Whether'.
Forecast: Mostly dark, with periods of scattered liquidity in some places.
Besides the high humidity...will it rain for Arthur ?
As always, this is the place to go for hurricane discussion:
http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/show.html
Interesting site. It still looks to me like there is some shop talk there which inflates the story to Category 3 !
But the picture shows maybe 50MPH winds in some areas, and not even a complete "eye" of the hurricane.
This looks like barely reaching Category 1...it looks like just part of the new cycle.
The SSTs will support a Cat2, with an outside chance of making Cat3...
http://i.imgur.com/RHoepa6.png
(As I said, WU is *the* place for info)....
What will be interesting is is whether the Cape Code gets smoked this weekend, the storm will be fast moving...
The only interest would be if it goes out to sea before it gets to Cape Hatteras...and then builds up and comes back to NJ, NY, Conneticut.
But the thing has no eye...so it will probably just scatter very soon anyway.
It must be a dismal news cycle at CNN and CNBC.
Weather, tea leaves, scat...CNBC market predictors.
NHC is now forecasting CAT2....

And see the moisture it is draggin along

The 'necks on the OBX could use a much needed bath
it's a hurricane this IS OBVIOUSLY GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!
And you are obviously trying to be a Hedgetard....
At least Fonestar was funny once in a while bitch
When I was a kid in the 70's/80's we rode out hurricanes all the time, now its go inland young man-we are raising
a bunch of puss bags!
And the financial tsunami is coming. Hence the mandatory evisceration.
Too much energy and energy differential in the existing systems north. This thing will stay mild and peter out east of northern NJ.
Some guidettes will have their hair mussed.
Mostly it will look better.
Rain and some thunder on the Cape though, looks like I can get out of golfing with a couple cousins I don't like.
The Cape is lousy with Micks and New Yorkers right now, anyway.
Cock-a-hoop! Brilliant.
Don't worry. Jim Cantore will stand outside and let us know how windy it is
Looking very threatening outside.
The whole sky to the South East looks like a wall of black.
I have to go batten down the hatches.
I'll be waiting for some talking head to announce, "She's gone from suck to blow!!!!"
If you've done your hurricane homework (preparations to ensure water, food, construction issues, etc) then a hurricane is mostly just a forecast but unscheduled repair job.
Right now I am thinking about:
- Are the trees trimmed back far enough from the house?
- How many shingles will I have to install?
- Are there any roof leaks I haven't found?
- Will the new chimney deal with the sustained winds?
- How much of my work time will minor repeairs consume?
etc....
Looks like the Bluenosers in Yarmouth will be having a fun weekend....
http://i.imgur.com/UJLiud7.jpg
They will...instead of being out on the links they'll be inside, sipping single malt, observing the barely a hurricane hurricane outside, and making borderline racist remarks about the concierge.
Not many in Yarmouth can name a single malt let alone afford them...
Model runs show that the Cape will be messy.... Traffic will be a complete shitshow

Next up, Hurricane Ben, Cat 5, incredibly massive damage, yet Wall St. alone is spared when the eye passes directly over south Manhattan. Later this year, Hurricane Janet roars west across Gulf, declared Cat 10, destroys the rest of the country. Obama declares indefinite martial law and makes heretofore tacit suspension of the Constitution official. US Congress disbanded, supplanted by panel of TBFT CEOs. Supreme Court disbanded, Fed Res opens new office on the premises. Suitably small statue of Geithner erected in place of toppled Washington Monument.
Things use to be so much better when climate never changed & unicorns roamed free!
Yeah, the Garden of Eden was *so* cool...
how calmer the world would be with the zionist exceptional jew who believe they have a satan given right to cause destruction and kaos.
how calmer it would be without weather manipulation and tesla weaponisation of the upper atmosphere.
where would governments be without the cia,fbi,mossad and the mi6 without all the psy fucking operations.
How calmer things would be if everyone had a view of the world rooted in reality...
