My sister is an emergency room doctor in Jacksonville and she's 8 months pregnant (and working) Also has 2 little girls and a husband. Haven't heard back from them this morning
Brought 20" of rain. Flooding shouldn't be too bad. Luckily this storm wasn't the end all be all some predicted. That's about a 1/3 of the rain Harvey dumped on Houston, but I don't think Tampa is designed for mass rain... not sure though? All in all, for the US anyway, not that bad
All my Miami friends got hit pretty hard, still no power. My Orlando friends said it was nowhere near as bad as they all expected.
In the midst of a record hurricane season, meteorologists are paying close attention as storms take shape and gather strength. Here’s a step-by-step guide to how hurricanes form. STEP 1 A tropical disturbance is created when Mneseus, son of Poseidon and reigning King of Atlantis, strikes a deadly blow to a multi-headed hydra by ramming his trident through its heart STEP 2 Dispatch gets tip about a bunch of shady-looking clouds loitering off the coast of Venezuela STEP 3 Red arrows on weather chart start going fucking nuts STEP 4 Tropical storm builds chrysalis around itself and emerges 10 days later as a mature hurricane STEP 5 Hurricane’s name is selected from a pre-approved list of people who have wronged meteorologists STEP 6 Channel 7 pulls out the big wind sock STEP 7 Storm putters around Atlantic ocean before working up courage to go on land STEP 8 It’s really coming down out there STEP 9 The arrival of a windbreaker-clad Anderson Cooper signals the storm surge is at its peak STEP 10 Hurricane suddenly not so tough away from its precious lukewarm ocean water STEP 11 Hurricane enjoys 1-2 years of being the most powerful ever recorded http://www.theonion.com/infographic...utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMarketing
Perectly safe here. Aside from no power and getting no sleep locked in at work. A lot of the areas just above sea level are flooded. Im good at about 9 feet though.
Article was in response to Irma and in reference to Hurricanes in Florida, which Limbaugh has experience living in that area.
Nope. They knew it was going to flood everything. It was a rain event. I said that in the Harvey thread. The Hurricane was going to be all but over once it got towards Houston. Some of smaller towns on the way got obliterated though. We got some wind, but the rain was our issue. 60" in a lot of areas. Some parts still under water. Some cities still without water. The issue Harvey brought was it moved over Houston and basically stopped. Then moved back over.
