OT Hurricane Florence

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

More people are killed by the storm surge than by the wind.
Yup, and with the sheer size of this thing, it'll have the storm surge of a CAT 4 hurricane. Hurricane Ike was devastating as a CAT 2 for the same reason. Same with Sandy as a CAT 1.
 
The astute leaders in Carolina politics and the important FIRST RESPONDERS are front line now. So IMPORTANT. If Florence is worse than others, these events will reveal which hurricane is king. I was in Sandy and that was a FUBAR.
 
I've talked about this before but I'm still amused at the weather geeks at The Weather Channel....I mean I understand the need for radar and forecasts and such but do we really need 8-10 different people telling us essentially the same thing? The Weather Channel has got several meteorologists at different locations all along the East coast all telling us that the winds will gradually increase as will the rain...gee, thanx for the update.
...I'm also quite aware that during a hurricane it rains a lot and blows a lot...but do we really need Jim freaking Cantore standing on the beach wearing a parka telling us "Well, it's really blowing out here now"...?...yeah, no shit, Jim, now get your dumb ass back inside before the wind blows a "no parking" sign into your sternum.
...it really is funny to watch these people over-dramatize the weather...these guys get a hard on every time there's even a threat of a storm.

Trump denying Hurricane Maria Death Toll in Puerto Rico. He is calling the death tolls a conspiracy theory. He is claiming 3,000 people did not die in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

“3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico."

"When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000.”

“This was done by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any reason, like old age, just add them onto the list. Bad politics. I love Puerto Rico!"

Lying egomanical idiot. Yeah Hurricane Maria was a democrat.

Trump might as well just claim Hurricane Maria never happened.

Yeah, those people are out of their minds. Then you have the guys who get there just before it hits. "I just came in on the helicopter. It is over there ready to take me out of here. Its a ghost town here. The buildings are boarded up. There are sandbags everywhere. I am standing in a strange silence, an eerie calm before the storm"...etc etc.

God what a pile of shit

Imagine if Hillary was President. And let’s say there was some event, storm, military action, and our military said 3000 people died. But Hillary said no, I was there. It was 6-15 people. This is fake news. IMAGINE what people would say and do. It would be mayhem. Possible assassination attempts.

I wonder if the people who voted for him and support him on here believe this as well.

In my opinion, this is probably the most egregious lie of his tenure as "president" and I want to hear his supporters defend the indefensible. The Governor of Florida (republican) has already renounced Trump's claim that the 3000 is a made up number by the Dems. This is lunacy and not only embarrassing, it's disgracing the lives of American's that fucking DIED. What an enormous piece of shit Donald Trump is. Fuck him.
 
Trump Supporters? Do you think only 6 people died in Puerto Rico like your savior does? Your leader?

Speaking of 6, there are "only" 6 nuclear power plants in the path of the hurricane and flooding.

Good news, only a couple of them are the exact same design as Fukushima. You know, the 50 year old nuclear power plant that didn't do so good when flooded with salt water.

It eats up a lot of time and they don't have to pay the weathermen the same as the news casters and commentators.

When I watch the local news, I video copy it. In addition to fast forwarding through the commercials I also get to skip through the weather forcast and cut to the 7 day forecast. I just pause at the forecast, look it over and move on.
 
None are the same. Our plants are not susceptible to flooding of the pumps.

Maybe, but I think it will turn out to have been a bad decision to make the containment vessels out of balsa wood.

The people who live on the island of Balsa would be offended by your remark. They are a hard working bunch busy chopping wood all day. At least that would is light and hasn't ruined any backs yet.
