    The problem is that we get rather lucky over and over and over in these things. They weaken, they wobble, they hit empty spaces. We haven't had a full on cat 5 hit just south of a massive city in awhile. You get that hitting 40 miles under say Miami with 2 days warning and you'll quickly be...

    @edko Did you ever get some new shoes for your ride? Also you may need to move it up to Thursday if they close down on 35mph+ Just be prepared to flee if it keeps up this track.

    It's not 50 inches by any means but it has it tracking up through middle Florida into Georgia and onward. Almost all of that dark red is 15-30 inches of rain on prediction currently. That would be a disaster well beyond the hurricane impact.

    5 days. Not a expert but this doesn't look very good. The scary thing is it is still hitting 150mph on that model at 10m above ground. Not gusts. Also it shows winds exceeding 35 mph on keys Friday night, a day ahead of arrival on those models.

    Ya for whatever reason I got battery packs for gifts for about 2 years straight. Most of them are 10000+ mAh. Some have flashlights built in, 2 of them will jump a car every 30 seconds for about 20 tries. I've had one I fully charged about 2 years ago and I think it is still 78% on the LED thing...

    Don't forget to fill and grab bread to. Nothing worse than not being able to make a damn sandwich because everyone panicked and bought all the damn bread.

    Keeps tracking S/SW more than they intend. It's all over the place but now it shows it dicking around in central Cuba a day before turning north to Tampa. Still bad for your area but it may be weakened. Still 5-6 days in play but these are going to start getting more accurate.

    6-7 day track in white is favored currently. Could change in a heartbeat though. Looks like every model is predicting landfall someplace currently.

    I was certain hurricanes crossing Bahamas usually weakened due to stability issues of the land and shallow water. Oh well. At least SyFy will get an idea and we'll get Crocknado out of this.

    Wouldn't Harvey pushing Irma south into the shallow waters of Bahama mama weaken it considerably though? Rather have a Cat 2 hit Miami than a Cat 3-5 hit someplace else up the coast. It'll be moving so fast and so weakened out that the surge wouldn't be near as terrible and rain will be less of...

    It's odd to see so many models track the same and around DC-NewYork no less. Still 8 days is a long time for predictions. That high pressure needs to get its ass moving eastward.

    Depends. Do you have terrible fuel consumption? Possibly due to dirty injectors for treating your truck like a migrant? Do you have neighbors who like to steal a gallon of it in the middle of the night? Is the seal on your gas cap bad potentially allowing liters of it to evap over a months time...

    Well, you simply stated truck. You offered no specs as to age, type or fuel pump technology in your post. I can tell you anything up to near 2000 is very risky to run at low fuel tank levels if you value not spending $1000 on something preventable.
  18. Oldbased

    Weather

    You really should rethink your fuel situation. When gas tanks are kept constantly low or allowed to run near dry it allows the fuel pump to pick up all the trash and sludge that builds up over time. Clogging injectors and burning out pumps. Always keep it 1/2 or better full.

    I've said it before. I keep ~40 gallons on hand at all times. We cycle it on lawn stuff and after a few months rotate it to my gas tank in the van( because it is a old beater with 280k miles on it anyways ) 30-50 gallons isn't much but in a disaster or event it is going to be a lot more than...

    Not that it is a major backlash but every Syfy tweet the past few days is nothing but angry people in the comments over this. It's pretty stupid to do on a series you can sell off or air again to end it on a hanger like this was and it was a pretty large cliff hanger for this show. Something...

    Some of those models are pretty scary. GFS has it directly hitting New York on September 10th at 10am as around a Cat 3 right now. That would be a total disaster.

    Even as slow as they are, they are still faster than any army on extended march. They go 24/7 no piss breaks, sleeping, cooking, eating, drinking piss. Even the Unsullied while not shown has to rest and eat and sleep. The only fast travel armies left in the world are the horsemen and iron fleet.
