Episode was all over the place, but man was each storyline amazing. They really tied all sorts of TV tropes together masterfully. Might be one of my favorite episodes.

Seriously. Must have saran wrapped the entire house.

This guy is awesome.

FAQ - What is the Meaning of PoP PoP = C x A where "C" = the confidence that precipitation will occur somewhere in the forecast area, and where "A" = the percent of the area that will receive measureable precipitation, if it occurs at all.

Jose's newest track has it hitting NYC (potentially) in about 10 days.

God damn. Is this thing supposed to hit Key West during daylight hours? The footage we'll get is bound to be impressive.

Not sure. People saying something similar happened to Mobile Bay back in the 80s I think?

Also, Irma cleaning up the gene pool a bit.

Didn't want to post these as I wasn't sure what the deal was (looks more like a tsunami), but apparently there are enough now that it looks to be legit. So uh, yeah, anyone thinking this will be okay...just imagine that all that missing water is eventually going to be a surge somewhere.

Hurricanes bring better surf.

The crappy part is now the next time a big hurricane comes to Miami, no one will evacuate because they got burned by the storm of the century missing.

Sending thoughts and prayers your way.

Also, it's been kind of overlooked with people focusing on Irma hitting Florida, but all those islands that got hit by Irma are about to get butt fucked by Jose tomorrow. I think Barbuda is expecting it in the afternoon. It may end up being that Jose has a significantly higher fatality rate...

Wow, insane pictures. Jose, a "run of the mill" category 4, versus the beast that is Irma. And then a before and after satellite of Barbuda.

There's a messed up part of me hoping that these idiots staying and talking about how the hurricane is overblown have their houses destroyed.

The amount of people living in Miami that I'm seeing who have a big sigh of relief is incredibly disheartening. Miami is going to get a gigantic ass pounding. It's likely going to be even worse than had a been a direct hit. I saw someone talking about how "well they have 5 feet of canals to...

That's a pretty awesome feature.

On another forum, about 2 hours ago, guy said his internet was already out. Apparently one of the best places to tie off is on the leeward side to a bunch of mangrove trees. Only real risk is other boats.

Speaking of, I saw an article about Richard Branson after Irma had passed over his island, and I was just thinking "What a fucking attention whore." Dude's a motherfucking billionaire. Absolutely no reason for him to be there. But it was all about how scary it was being in their wine cellar or...

Yeah, but Fedor, she's got 11 years of experience as a "Professional."

With how big the eyewall is, I think it'd have to go VERY far west for Miami not to get fucked.

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.
