Tropical Depression #16 (ready for some rain?)

A new vigorous upper-level low plunges southward into Alabama reenergizing the stalled Southeast front midweek as a very moisture-laden Tropical Depression 16 (still forecast to become Tropical Storm Nicole) tracks northward across southeast Florida. Heavy, flash-flooding rain will develop across southern and eastern Florida, coastal Georgia and the Carolinas.

Parts of the Carolinas could pick up over 6 inches of rain on Wednesday alone. Wilmington, North Carolina could have another rain event similar to Monday.

On Thursday, as Tropical Depression 16 (or Tropical Storm Nicole) becomes extratropical off the Southeast Coast and is absorbed into the developing eastern storm, the weather will improve over Florida while heavy rains continue over the Carolinas. A few showers or thunderstorms may develop over eastern Alabama and Georgia ahead of the upper-level low still lurking over the Southeast.

Leland finally decided to do something about flooding on 74. They dug out large drainage ditches on the E side, and knocked a big chunk of shoulder away on the W side while doing the same thing there. hopefully it helps and only the median floods this time instead of the whole hwy turning into a pond.

Yeah, and I'm in an outdoor wedding in Wilmington this weekend.

Where specifically?

HA HA Wilmington is about to get blowed up by rain!

So glad i live in Charlotte

Yeah, we got 10.23" at the airport on Monday and 3" yesterday and we've already had at least 3" this morning... it was raining really, really hard for like an hour before I left the house. I can't believe what it will be like if that storm does hit us. :eek:

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
