Hurricane Dorian Thread

[Faun]

Monster storm .... Melbourne, Florida

 

[Faun]

Whoah! That thing's trucking this way!

No problem for you, Mary. I'm sure you have a story about how you beat one up with your bare hands.

 

[B. Kidd]

Savannah is historically way overdue, but I don't think this is the storm.
Instead, bye-bye Daytona Beach!

So, it's past Puerto Rico now, the news is predicting it hits FL 4 days out.

I don't believe anything they say 4 days out.

I'm watching it here and it's looking kinda busted up and head straight north:

Interactive Radar

It could go anywhere, the meteorologists are wrong a lot.

So I'll put a poll in to take bets!

You can vote for 2 things.

Big/little storm, and where.

It is going to smack that Uber Eats driver in Houston...

Nah, most likely Florida at Cat 3...

Let me get this straight...…...


You don't believe Professional Meteorologists that have studied & worked in the field for years, which I really don't blame you there given the failure rates and yet you ask these crazy people on an interent message board???????????



Dude, you're losing it

 

[WillowTree]

They're saying it's aiming for Orlando. Isn't that where Disney World is?

Duh!

When Jim Cantore comes on and tells you it’s a cat. 4 and it will be catastrophic, believe him.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

I am in Idaho
So I could care less
.

Right?
Yeah, I'm in FL so if Yellowstone super volcano blew tomorrow.....my biggest concern would be Capt. Crunch or Honey Comb for breakfast (yawn)

Drama Queen....
Isn't he the guy they caught on camera struggling to stand up saying the wind was epic.....then some guy casually walked past the camera looking at him like he was nuts?

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Thats why you need a generator.
Mine will power 3 of my 5 refrigerators,the A/C and heat to the bedroom suite,master bath and the workout room,which is actually my gun room.
And the oven.
It aint big enough to run all three central A/C's but I'm good as long as I have A/C in the bedroom.

And enough gas to run it for up to 4 weeks.

Ok, so that doesn't sound like your typical portable generator. At least 20Kw to do all that.
And you'd need about what, 300 gallons to run that kind of power output for a month?

I lived through Hurricane Michael. A cat. 5. Don’t call me a drama queen.

 

[Marion Morrison]

Whoah! That thing's trucking this way!

Trump has you covered

That's the only funny Trump political cartoon I have seen yet!
That one's funny.

Which one was that? The year 2 bad ones came back-to-back?

October 10th 2018.

 

[Marion Morrison]

I live in Lake City, Florida. We are about 74 miles from the ocean but the last hurricane that hit us left us without power for several days.

I get ice tomorrow, just in case.

Whoah! That thing's trucking this way!

No problem for you, Mary. I'm sure you have a story about how you beat one up with your bare hands.

Mah boy Trump will nuke it and make it go away!

Oh, up there by the Panhandle. That was a bad one. IMHO Andrew was the worst.

Andrew was horrible! They are still running stats on which was worse but we were bad off here. My house was damaged. Others had no house left.

The correct answer is, Big Storm up rusty limpthoughts ass.

Nope.
Ya gotta remember you dont run everything simultaneously.
And you dont run it 24/7.
My Honda eu7000 will hard start a 4 ton A/C and only use 2900 at startup.
The refridges only run to maintain safe food temps.
Gas consumption is five gallons over an eighteen hour period of constant run time.
With a dedicated breaker box it's easy to do.
I guess I should have said I can run all of those appliances with a little forethought.

Before I bought the eu7k I ran an eu2k that ran a window unit in our bedroom and one fridge.
This is a vast improvement. I could supplement the 7k with my other 7k unit but it's a loud MFer!!
