Hurricane 2023

[fomofo]

That is one very long but extremely good/fascinating article. I've been chewing on it in chunks, and still am only about 2/3 of the way through. Great deep dive into all the related issues.

Cool. There is a part 2 to that article that I was able to find at one point and IIRC was good also.

Might take a bit of google searching to find a non paywalled version. This one requires a subscription -- https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1...-the-mountains

I finally finished the article tonight, but not before my iPad reloaded the page and took me back to the very top, where I noticed, for the first time, that the author of the article was John McPhee. That explains the "good/fascinating article" part, and, after some searching, as I suspected it might be, it (both parts) is contained in one of his published books...

Haven't read that one, but will. Thank you again for posting the article link.

Thanks evdog, we are headed back to the Q tomorrow, that’s gonna add more time to an already loooong fucking drive, plus we just left Thing 2 at school, and Mrs. Seano is a fucking mess….Gonna be a fun one, boys…

It should be cleared up by now. I-8 is usually a nice drive without a ton of traffic...except start/end of weekends during desert season. Have a good drive!

[t-the-east]

Gonna hafta 'splain that.

Then yesterday, I swear I never wasn't using my windshield wipers ……It wasn't not raining until Utah a bit east of Wendover…..

Just a random observation. Glad you guys are all good after this storm

Apparently, other parts of the chairs are buried in mud.

gonna take a bunch of time with the hand shovel to clear that line.

[el hefe]

Going to san jose del cabo in Jan, have not been able to see if if got hit anywhere online. Any news?

[truckeelocal]

The Playa ... flooded

[bodywhomper]

And then dried, at least that’s my understanding.

If a federal disaster declaration that includes “Individual Assistance,” my understanding is that homeowners and renters affected by flooding that do not have flood insurance coverage will be able to get federal $$ for flood-related damages. May not be as much $$ than if they had flood insurance.

Holee fuck.

[The AD]

The remnants of Hilary have done a pretty good job soaking areas of eastern Washington and inland B.C. that were on fire, so that's good news.

[neufox47]

Idalia is anticipated to go through a period of rapid intensification and make landfall as a 3 +\-. If it stays on the current forecast the only good news is it is hitting the one stretch of FL coast that hasnt been completely developed.

Franklin may send me some proper waves. According to gfs. Ecmwf wants it wondering around on the atlantic without connection to the greenland System.

The huge diversion is only 72h out. Even the sophisticated Models struggle with hurricanes interacting with the Extra tropical flow and in general with them.

Here we go again.
Jim Cantore left last night, and is in Cedar Key now, so we are a bit relieved.
Now they get to inundate us with warnings about storm surge. I think I saw Jim drooling at one point talking about what could happen to Tampa Bay.

[SumJongGuy]

Katrina kind of has me desensitized to these threats. Meh.. just a Cat 3? Of course if it were about to make land at Wilmington and heading NW at a good clip I'd think the situation was way more serious!

Seriously though.. Vibes to the gulf coast there. I actually do know someone in Tampa and it's an elderly lady on her own there. I hope she has gotten out of there to stay with her son elsewhere..

Lol, fucking Jim Cantore. Looking forward to him standing waist deep in "storm surge" while drunk people walk by on dry pavement a few feet away.

There's some truth to this. From 2006-2016 we didn't have a single Cat. 3 or stronger storm make landfall in the US. Then we had 7 hurricanes hit in the last few years. Kind of got lulled into a "meh" attitude. Even Matthew which made all kinds of a mess for us was still kind of low on the "here comes the big one" scale.

Hope the incredibly warm gulf doesn't add too much fuel for this one and it pushes off pretty quickly.

Based on the storm track I'd mostly predict a lot of flooding damage as it looks like Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington and Myrtle Beach are all in the path.

[BmillsSkier]

If it tracks through Lowcountry there's a couple things that will help lessen the impact. Most importantly, its path is inland heading to sea and its rotation wont bring the same massive surge that would occur if it was making landfall there. Charleston will also get to try out its new fancy storm flood system.

Unfortunately for the area, there's a king tide happening now through the 1st which brings water about 6'+ higher than normal tides.

Is this thing gonna hit The Villages?

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Farmers insurance must be feeling pretty good right now.

[Core Shot]

Is this thing gonna hit The Villages?

Do not. I repeat do not try to run your rascal scooter through deep water.

[BmillsSkier]

People are fucking stupid when it comes to high, moving water on the road.

Just yesterday we had severe storms for about 5 hours straight and sure as shit there's social media filled with images of stalled out cars with water up to the door handles. Enjoy the never-ending electrical issues you just bought yourself dummies.

If any of you know Death Valley, the photos at the below link should look familiar ..... location wise at least. I love that place!!

Sorry about all the roads but there should be some ridiculous plant blooms this fall and next spring.
