September 15, 200323 yr Hurricane Isabelle is expected to come ashore somewhere near South Carolina/North Carolina/Virginia. Due to the sheer size of thise storm, it is very possible that Tropical Storm, if not Hurricane Force winds, could strike the cities of Philadelphia and Atlanta, delaying and postponing games.

September 15, 200323 yr Yea i saw the news and the hurricane is going up there. I hope it carries somewhere else because we need to play these games as sooon as possible.
September 15, 200323 yr Author The center of this monster can pass anywhere in this cone. Winds can extend up to 150 miles out of the center. BE ON ALERT! The Phillies and Braves may have to play the games at a neutral/alternate site or in Miami to settle this three horse race.
September 15, 200323 yr This is gay! My guess, is that when the hurricane hits the Philly area, it will be in the last game of our series, and it won't be nearly as strong! The Atlanta series won't be affected!

The Atlanta series won't be affected! Actually, I was listening to the radio and they said what I posted above, so I checked out the maps, and it is possible we could see an interruption. Tell me, how are the Marlins going to fly/drive/rail to Hotlanta from Philly if the storm will be there on the day we are supposed to travel?
September 15, 200323 yr Author http://www.nbc10.com/weather/2478333/detail.html From NBC10.com WCAU Philadelphia This is from the front page and is a direct warning to expect strong winds and more flooding. BTW, Philly has a flash flood warning at the moment, so they will get more rain than they what to do with.
September 15, 200323 yr I'm in Batavia, NY right now at college and the rain is hitting us pretty hard here.
September 15, 200323 yr Author Take a bus to NYC and fly from there? WNBC 4, New York City http://www.nbc4.com/weather/2484078/detail.html Front page story, flights from the East will be hard. This will be like the SuperStorm in 1993.

September 15, 200323 yr Well, not the brunt of it anyway. But if there's flash flood warnings in Philly, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with it.
September 15, 200323 yr Author Bativia NY? That isn't the Isabel yet, is it? No, but Isabel will be there on our Philly-to-Atlanta travel day. We have no day off, so it would have been overnight travel, but with so much rain/wind, it would be hard.
September 15, 200323 yr Author Sheesh! We can always take the D-Train from Philly to Atlanta! Does the D-Train go through flooded Carolina bridges? He was a Mudcat, but a watercat. lol
September 16, 200323 yr Gotta love the Simpson quotes. :thumbup hahah if you go to the Post Your Picture thread in the off topic section you'll get like 20 simpson quotes. Admin and i were quoting back anf forth. also it is a very humorous thread if you care to read all 26 pages (and still going strong) as for Isabella, go away!!! we need these games!! but how cool would it be if they decided to play the games down here in florida!
September 16, 200323 yr Bativia NY? That isn't the Isabel yet, is it? No, but Isabel will be there on our Philly-to-Atlanta travel day. We have no day off, so it would have been overnight travel, but with so much rain/wind, it would be hard. no that isnt Isabel. I'm in Greenville, SC (2 hrs east of ATL) and we havent felt any effects of the hurricane yet. We had some drizzling yesterday, but I read on Weather.com that it was just some scattered showers, and not part of the hurricane (it is in fact part of the cold front that came thru last week).
