Weather

I don't think anyone is going anywhere, lot of people are just shacking up till the water goes down. Everyone on my sisters street has already pulled down the sheetrock and insulation. If only light water they snap a line and get the bottom foot so when the water goes down and they get it cleaned up the house is livable again. Those that flooded up to the roof, not so much.

These aren't like the Katrina people. If you didn't notice Katrina refugees mostly were from the projects. These are the mostly white/more income related. All of south LA flooded in Katrina, but you really only saw people wanting shit at the superdome and didn't have water. They had several days notice and they didn't draw up water? Like even the battub?

Cajun boys will survive. So bad it's funny.


Trump gave $100k to the Greenwell Springs baptist church cause they had a plan in place on what to do with it. Didn't see that in the media much.

Florida may be getting a Cat 1 Hurricane soon and after it crosses Florida it may turn into a major Hurricane and hit Alabama... maybe LA. The Euro model keeps tracking it further west after every model they do.

Thing getting pretty active in the Gulf, and Atlantic. Interesting projection for the East coast in the next 7-10 days. Obviously these change often. So take it with a grain of salt.

Concerning part is all the way up to the Jersey coast, record high water temperatures are being reported. If a Hurricane does make it's way up there storms that would normally weaken, would not with waters being near the mid 80's.

So it hailed here in Colorado yesterday, just a little bit.

No fucking thanks. I'll take the 90 degree humid weather here in Illinois.

Female hurricanes are deadlier than male hurricanes, study says - CNN.com

How effective would a hurricane Akbar be at clearing out an area?

Well they all used to be female hurricanes.

Maybe at clearing out Zika!

The work drive for my sister has gone from 20 minutes each way before the flood to 1-1/2 hours each way now because of the influx of contractors, people hauling off shit, and people driving in to work from out of town every day. The mayor being clueless as ever, he went on a crusade and a fight with the sheriff saying there would be no curfew immediatlely after the storm and schools would open the next day because "you can't put a damper on businesses" lol, good luck with that. He's still in the "nothing has happened, go back to work to keep the tax revenue up".

The hurricane that hit Florida really took a hard turn, for a long time it looked like it was headed for New Orleans but took a massive turn to go up the east coast.

This might be worse than a landfall because this storm is to cradle the east coast.

Now with updates. Storm is getting closer to the coast. It looks like it is going to uppercut the Eastern Seaboard, starting with Florida as a Category 3.

looks like i get to dodge another bullet. i fucking hope so. NJ is not equipped for this shit. sandy fucked the whole NJ/NYC area

I am on the FEMA response roster for EMS. I'll let you guys know if they deploy us. They're telling us to gear up.

I don't want to say where I'm at exactly. Mandatory Evacuations already announced. Local gas stations are out of gas, hotels west of here for a while are booked up. My sister lives 5 minutes from here, so we are packing up her kids, and the pets and driving west tomorrow.

I live super close to the ocean right where the wave/surge activity is supposed to be the worst, so a little bit spooked about this one. Not because of the wind and rain, but because of the ocean It seriously wouldn't take much. Anyways....today I'm doing mundane stuff like Laundry so at least I have clean clothes for a few days heh.

I'm 100% sure me and mine are going to be safe.....I have no idea about our homes though. Locally at least, this one could be kinda bad. Predicted to be the worst in over half a century here. Even if it stays off the coast, it's going to be close enough that the folks living this close to the ocean are in for a world of hurt.
