Hurricane Season 2008

[Fail Medic]

Welcome to the Fail Weather Service.  This post will selfishly channel my hurricane-hypochondriasis and hopefully turn the storm into a weak kitten before it shits on anyone else.  liek me omfg.  Hurricane Lili was a worrisome Cat 4 before it made landfall here as thankfully a Cat 1.

Gulf of Mexico, you fail so hard.



I know of one BRB member who's expatriated from Louisiana, but here's a shoutout to anyone on the Gulf Coast and the Carribean:  lol, hurricanes.  Anyone on here swimming in Tammy Fay's sweat from the past few days?

Let's see what the high pressure system is going to do to Gustav's path.

In England it rains sometimes, that's.... slightly inconvinient.

Fail if I we're you I would move that red line slightly more north east and then have it do a U-turn right. Kthx. (I'm such a bad person).

Run fail! RUUUN!

Fay was all sound and fury signifying nothing.  But this one could be bad, our luck here in Florida it will turn and hit us.  The gulf sucks because its a big source of warm water.

The thing about that is, it's not as big of a hurricane area as like Florida or Cuba or any of those Caribbean islands.  You say to any of us "there's a hurricane coming" and we are ready for it in like a day flat.  Most houses in Miami have some sort of storm shutter set up.  Like either bolt holes for plywood or custom made metal shutters to fit over.  My grandparents house has zero sunlight when there is a storm coming.  Also people get the F$%& out when they say so (except surfers).

I was talking about this on IRC but people who aren't used to hurricanes do all sorts of stupid things, like go out during the eye (its easier to do than you think the eye weather is usually like one of the nicest days you've seen).  It's just one of those things where some preparation means a lot.  I usually just go to my dad's he's always super storm ready.  It's just a pain moving the cats.

I lived outside of Beaumont TX for half my life, my experience with hurricanes has mostly been "stay inside for the next X hours, then go blow bubbles outside during the eye of the storm, then another X hours on the nintendo, next morning no school, whooooooooo"

Oh, this will end well.

Storm testosterone surge.

I live far enough away from the coast and my places of residence has always seemed to be sitting on built-up land, especially where I am now which is like an island.  The three roads into here would get flooded, stranding us (and have already), but we'd be completely dry.  I mentioned my worst hurricane experience in another thread, I think, which was cleaning up debris on one-and-a-half golf courses and getting stung by yellow jackets while boarding up a window.

Surf, like I said, I hope for all our sakes it pulls another Lili if he does wind up supercharging over the Gulf.

Projected Path Update: (with mandatory 'shop)

My friends that live down in Playa Del Carmen in Mexico got hit directly by Katrina and had no sort of sensible protection against their one breakable door so they had to sit there for 8 hours holding a mattress against their patio door so it didn't get blown down.

In England it rains sometimes, that's.... slightly inconvinient.

In the Arizona valley, it never rains.
