Yeeeesh! Having lived trough hurricanes on the gulf coast since Beulah in '66 or '67, a cat 5 is no joke. Saints preserve Florida from Dorian, Scott, and trumpp.

Shame youā€™d even have to joke about that. Apparently, returning gunfire from Florida hurricanes is also now a thing. Donā€™t shoot at the hurricane, youā€™ll just piss it off more.

A few months before Sandy I was in a Jersey beach town called Mantoloking that was nothing but hundreds of immense, gorgeous mansion-like houses. One after the other for mile after mile. Then came Sandy and it tore the hell out of damn near all of them and dug a big inlet right through the island. There may come a day when you canā€™t insure a house like that.

Yikes. 200 mph is cow-flying territory.

Thereā€™s a few cows Iā€™d like to see flying.

Yup. I was a small child when Celia came through. Lived about a dozen blocks from Corpus Christi Bay.

My one memory was looking out the front window at the trees blowing sideways before mom freaked TF out for some reason :thinking: and yanked me away.

By this time this was the 2nd or 3rd time I didnā€™t die from something that I probably shouldā€™ve died from. Apparently Someone Had / Has (I still canā€™t tell :stuck_out_tongue:) a plan for meā€¦

I believe its already up to 180mph sustained winds.

Thatā€™s the wind speed they can measure, btw. The estimates are currently at around 200mph at sea level.

This is a monster, that is still growing fast and moving very, very slowly.

Thank Ghaddess we donā€™t have warming sea temps or this would be a real problem.

Oh. Wait.

Excuse me! Weā€™re under a national emergency situation with hoards of undesirables pouring across our border in the South. We can not afford to give everyone a roll of paper towels-you only get one sheet. One sheet per person because Trump sent all the emergency disaster funds to build his wall which wonā€™t hold back the wind, rain or tide surge.

Donā€™t worry about the gators, worry about the sharks that Dorian will fling onto the East Coast.
