Seeing lots of people with the "oh shit" realization all the sudden. The same ones who were like "fuck this I'm riding it out" 24 hours ago. Dumb asses. This isn't an earthquake, you knew what was coming. Only takes a couple minutes to Google a category 5 hurricane and realize you don't want...

Mesmerizing. http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/loop.asp?data_folder=goes-16/mesoscale_01_band_02_sector_01&width=1000&height=1000&number_of_images_to_display=120&loop_speed_ms=80

That's Jose. And yeah, it would have made more sense to re-use the greens and blues (or purple) and shit before going back to the browns and reds. Makes it impossible to tell wtf is going on. Speaking of Jose, it's apparently a category 3 hurricane now. So uh, good luck to anyone in Irma's...

Wind forecasts from the Euro model. Florida is fucked. Georgia might be even more fucked as they're probably not built to withstand hurricanes at all. There's also some nerdy weather forum talking about it. Looks like its starting to strengthen again. Might be the biggest hurricane anyone...

FPP leaderboard is finally coming next week! About fucking time. And yeah, I noticed in FPP squads that by the first circle, we'd generally be down to about 60 people left. Was kind of shitty. Speaking of AFK, we've got one friend that gets distracted easily. He wandered off for seriously like...

So assuming it goes straight up the center of Florida, is that worse for Miami? This is assuming the eye wall is hitting it, but not the actual eye. Seems like you get the shittier wind side of the storm, and I'm not sure the surge is much different. Only plus side might be that it'd weaken a...

Yeah, this 7 weeks thing is a real bummer. Two weeks I can do. This just blows.

Hate game design that punishes you for making "incorrect" decisions early game.

That's from yesterday where Delta flew an extra flight just to get people out of Puerto Rico. They landed, taxi'd, deplaned, boarded, taxi'd, and took off in 52 minutes.

We've got a ton in SoCal. The thing is, they don't need all the power. So a lot of them aren't spinning because they'd overload the grid.

Don't forget that hurricanes spawn tornadoes. It's generally rare that they're F3's or F4's, but there's a history of them happening. Hurricane Ike in 2004 spawned about 120 tornadoes, including an F3 which killed a few people (I think it traveled something like 20+ miles, too). I mean, talk...

Back when I lived in Kentucky, we had straight line winds of only like 70-80 mph that ripped trees in half. Most people have no frame of reference for what 185 mph looks like.

Curious to see how everyone feels about this in a week or two.

Shit even 40 and 56 mile winds are no joke.

I want to say they were quotes from officials in those countries. We'll see. If the BVI's look that bad, I expect we'll get some pretty grim USVI pictures today. Kind of glad my wife and I already explored a good bit of the Caribbean already, because it might be another decade before they recover.

Read something that said they're estimating 90% of Barbuda, and 95% of St. Maarten are completely destroyed. I'd guess tomorrow we'll have a better idea how the Virgin Islands fared.

Was going to ask where the after pictures were. Because black people.

I'd definitely agree that a cruise ends up being more expensive in Alaska. Wife and I did one for our 10th anniversary and went all out; helicopter ride over the glacier and then ice climbing on the glacier in Juneau, puddle jumper to go to the Traitor's Cove bear viewing (Bear Viewing Tours |...

Yeah, but unless Jose just stalls where it is for a few days, Irma will push it off into the Atlantic.

Holy shit! Apparently they got it landed, refueled and loaded, and off the ground in 52 minutes.

I bet it ends up feeling like a cold 84. The wind chill is likely to be quite low.

And if that one ends up being the case, there's no Cuba to act as a savior. Miami is getting fisted.

I checked in on Lirik's stream a few times today and it definitely wasn't what I'd call "speedrunning." I think it probably only takes 8-10 hours to do.

St Maarten forecast.

That clip Twitch removed was on my YouTube recommended videos just now. Here it is if you happened to miss it.

The eye and wall of this thing are insane looking. Wherever this hits, it's going to be a monster.

Seems like every hour of today, this thing gets upgraded to being more hellacious. Florida's hopes seem to hinge on Cuba taking the brunt of it. If not, it likely becomes the worst hurricane in US history by a long shot?

Not sure if this is legit? Interesting either way.

Did you scrap your raft when you got here?

My wife's grandmother lives within about 1000 feet of the Ohio river. A while back it had some serious flooding and we had something like 30 people out there sandbagging around her house. It took all afternoon and her house is pretty small (probably under 1000 sqft). Wish I knew how many actual...

Looks like Jose is trying to sneak in behind Irma.

Eh? I understand that the southern side is supposed to have "lesser" winds, but when we're talking about 175 mph right now, is 150 mph on the south side really going to be "fine?" I imagine not. If this thing is still a category 5, it doesn't matter where it goes over PR. It's going to get...

I know everyone is talking about Florida, but it seems like Puerto Rico is rightfully fucked, eh?

Holy shit. I rarely go on there, but you aren't kidding.

Holy shit, that's some dedication. Fucking amazing.

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about these games...is there any video with a good synopsis? All I can find is trailers and gameplay videos, but they don't do a good job selling it.
