JCC Weather/Natural Disaster Discussion

SITH!

 

Like I said before, the worst year for this to be an active hurricane season.

 

Latest update has it coming right up my ass. I didn’t even know anything was out there and as my son turned off PS and engaged the tv back I just see this large cone covering the entire state of Louisiana.

joy..

must get food and gas and water in the coming days looks like.

 

Considering that two named storms happened before the official start of the hurricane season, I'm not optimistic.

Also, I suspect that there's going to be a major problem with financial assistance re: employees out of work due to storms - because there's already an existing but separate emergency unemployment assistance for COVID-19, which is unprecedented (The normal "Disaster Unemployment Assistance" for some reason didn't consider a disease pandemic to be a 'disaster', which is why they had to create a new one).

 

Goddamnit! Still no cone change today. It’s still way to far away so I wasn’t really expecting it to have changed but it would have been nice to see it going more eastward. I do hope it is able to soak Alabama and Florida to help that drought. Stay away from Lake Charles!

 

Go East. I don’t want any of it.

 

Maybe there'll be a miracle and it'll die out in Mexico.

 

I don’t see that happening but it would be nice. It’s really gonna help out with the droughts over there as sithy as that sounds but I’m happy it’s tracking more eastward. Lake Charles is currently out of the possible center of circulation cone but we will still get some windage no doubt. I’ll just happy to be on the west side.

 

Probably belongs more in the Politics thread, but I thought it was better here since it's a bit funny and related.

Remember when Trump said we could probably nuke hurricanes?

New bill proposed would prevent the President from nuking Hurricanes.

 

I bet NOAA would like a bill to nuke Trump, I know I would.

@JEDI-SOLO and @PymParticles hope you’re both okay.

 

Thanks for the concern, but I'm out of harm's way! After graduating last year I moved from Tallahassee back home to the hurricane-free city of *checks notes* Miami.

 

Nice little thunderstorm here in the Richmond VA suburbs, nearly took the gutter right off my mom's house

Spoiler

We took pictures because in this community she pays dues to have these things kept up for her and made a report. Hopefully this can be fixed soon, for the record though it was a crazy rain, even some small hail.

 

@Runjedirun glad your mom is okay and you had the thought to take pictures.

@heels1785 holy crap, the third fire in three years?

 

BTW @heels1785 Happy National Flip-Flip Day! At least there's no snow around today.

 

You are never going to let him live that down are you?

 

Toes are our friends. Flip-flops in snow are not being friendly to them.

 

Really interesting what's going on with Saharan winds and dust in upper atmosphere at the moment. Will inhibit TS/Hurricanr activity for now but GFS hinting at something in GOM sometime around 6th to 8th July perhaps?

Have done a little video summing up the current situation.

 

I know I know about this event but it seems it is getting super coverage this year yeah? I’m in prime area for these sunsets on Gulf Coast but we are supposed to be getting soaked the next few days so I don’t see me being able to look at it.

 

Holy heatwave Batman. I just looked up our 10 day forecast. It's going to be 97 on Friday and over 90 all but 2 days which show 88 and 89, with our usual summer humidity that should be, crazy. Flip flop weather for sure.

 

We've been in the 60s here in the London area - feels more like autumn.

 

Yikes... stay cool.

I think we’re upper 80s last I checked.
