weather warnings

[Outkast]

Just a warning for you out of towners, We have been have severe storms for the past 2 weeks in the mid south with severe flooding. So be extremely careful on you're drive down at the end of the week cause where going to have another round hitting on Thursday and Friday and Maybe Saturday in our region. So just don't get over comfident with your speed and watch for flooded areas. I'll be bringing my Tahoe so I hope I won't need to pull anyone out of a ditch or worse on my way down.

[bradturpin13]

Damn,...it rains every year.....

[jschrauwen]

I thought the Nationals was moved to this time of year because it wasn't supposed to be the "rainy season" like it is in early Spring. What gives??
Anyway, thanks for the heads up James.
+2 weeks of glorious sunshine and warm temps here. :-p

Brad, you headed down too?
We'll be crossing the Ohio/Kentucky border very first thing Thursday morning heading down I75.

[funkysi]

Really hope the weather is good. :(

Usually is but I guess the lack of hurracaines in the gulf, the weather had to dump somewhere and it chose the mid south this year. Last year it was up north and I bet those guys are glad to someone other then them getting it.

Got up to go to work this morning, and it rained all day yesterday and last night. Went to go to my truck to leave, it was still raining and I had 4 inches of water for a front and back yard. The news said we got 8" yesterday alone. and we where suppose to get 6" to 8" today again.

[orangebyke]

ive quit working on my z and started an arc

[awesomekasim]

How are things where you live? I know there are alot of rivers and streets flooded in Lawrenceville. Sugar Loaf parkway is supposed to look like a river now. Anybody passing through Georgia be as careful as you can be. It's supposed to rain for another 10 days I believe.

I live at school in Marietta now and it has been raining really hard and traffic just sucks mostly. Parts of sugarloaf are flooded and lots of small roads here and there. There is a creek behind my house so i hope it doesnt get too bad

[John@Z1]

The weather sucked in Carrollton and Douglasville last night. Alot of homes were lost including one of our guys. There's is a lot of families in GA that are hit hard. But they say the weather will be better friday, lets hope for the best and keep these people in our thoughts.

[dirt114]

shit no lost houses in ohio but were still getting shit weather as well. its supposed to rain all week and was on and off all day. i woke myself up with some sliding around on the way to work this morning :D

[funkysi]

Yeah, I keep checking the weather over here and it says now that only 30% chance of showers. So, should be ok. Hopefully some sunny spells.

We've had 2 weeks of no rainfall here and it's set to be like that for the new week! This is the UK! You guys should be having that! LOL

[TnkrsToyCo]

It's pissing rain here now.

[Armitage]

Jon, that sucks. :(

If this weather continues, is there any chance this event will be canceled? I know we're getting on zero hour and I don't think its an option, but I hope things get better. The weather has been nice up in my area and hopefully it'll follow down with me.

[funkysi]

Don't say that! I'm flying over from the UK for this! LOL

Weather is set to improve by Wednesday.

[turbodsm866]

Damn...I was hoping to make the trip on my Nitto NT01's..

Looks like i might have to get new rear tires

[99specZ32]

I'm out anyways :thumbsdow I guess I'll just stay up in Canada and see how the weather is here....

[WickedKlowns]

Weather channel as of now,,, lets hope it changes just a little

Fri
Sept 25
Isolated T-Storms
81°
30% chance of rain

Sat
Sept 26
Scattered T-Storms
79°
40% chance of rain


And as most of Us southern boys know,, this should hopefully mean it will only rain for just a short bit,, just enough to squirt the dirt,, then go away... Lets hope this is the case on this one.. Not really looking forward to riding around with the tops in tact.

6 people are confirmed dead from the flooding in GA and shelters are now open for victims.

Gwinnett County schools (biggest county in the district) are also closed tomorrow as well as 5 other counties.

Anyone driving through GA, try to avoid back roads. Those are the worst right now. Definitely check the road conditions and weather before you leave.

We had a dumb ass teen bet his friends he could swipp a storm drain and got swept into the underground colvert. They're still looking for his body. and another younger kid got swept trying to cross a road that was flowing good.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Saw that on the news this morning, a $5 bet.

[Servoc]

Anyone driving on I-20 between Birmingham and Anniston needs to pay particular attention to the concrete sections of the interstate. Water often puddles in the worn areas of the concrete.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Got caught in a flood in the 240sx out in New Mexico years back, had to ride the high ridges on the road to stay out of the water. It was like asphalt surfing.

We'll be crossing the Ohio/Kentucky border very first thing Thursday morning heading down I75.

Yeah, I'll be there. Leaving Thursday round noon...gonna trailer the Z. we'll be in a Maroon Dodge Diesel. I'll look for your convoy. and may do a drive by at the Hampton that night... but I'll see you a TGP Friday for sure.

John, you should make Kevin ride in your back seat!!!! all that talk of those long nights for you......?/?? :owned:

[Perrysan greyZ32NA]

I've already been rained out of Z nationals :(. I originally requested off for Saturday so I could go to the show, but business has been so slow the last two weekends because of the rain I can't go. Lanier literally went up a foot over the weekend, unbelievable. I am positive we haven't seen this much rain in 20 years. Sucks that it had to happen around Z Nats time. F being a retail manager. Anyway to everyone going, have an awesome time and don't forget to pack a life raft.

[jschrauwen]

Watching the weather channel and they said Georgia declared a state of emergency with 17 counties flooded.
I wonder if they're considering cancelling Z Nationals?

Don't tempt fate!

[funkysi]

I just called Bryan, that's never gonna happen John! :D

[CullPearlYellowTT]

Z1 just updated there site and said that it's still on and to be careful and check the georgia travel website for flooding and conditions. With this weather I'm not going to chance it and staying home. Sorry FunkySi i wanted to meet you and several others that I've known on here but it looks like to me in order to be safe and not get stuck in georgia im going to stay up here in knoxville.

[funkysi]

Dude, make a decision nearer the time. Saturday (the day you want to come down) is 3+ days away. I bet if it stops raining, which it appears to have done, then there won't be much in the way of flood water left by then. :)

[jschrauwen]

As of this afternoon, the flood water levels are receding.
Good news.
Positive thinking!!

[funkysi]

It's all gonna be ok. I spoke to a girl in Atlanta just now and she said it's sunny now.

I just don't told my boss to F off and that I was going to Z nationals. Someone in the Gwinnett area let me know if there is an open seat, my car is under the knife.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Simon they are showing I-20 flooded till tomorrow from the 44-49. They should be clear by Thursday.

[funkysi]

Really? Damn! Erm....yeah, should pass. The rainfall will be a hell of a lot less. Hope it's passable Thursday night.

[orangebyke]

Just drive to my house in Chattanooga and ride with me in the Tahoe Saturday.

[jschrauwen]

Well, day one of the road trip is in the books.
No less than 6 cloudbursts enroute. Nothing major though.
I hope it doesn't rain while I wash my car in Carrollton - how dumb does that sound?

[gimmedaboost]

A little rain won't scare me off :D Can't wait to see you guys there!

[NissanguyZ]

Here is our local drag strip in chattanooga as of yesterday. Waters dropped alot over night. It was nice seeing the sun out today.
