One thing about the cold is you can always put on more clothes/blankets to get warm. If your power is out in Florida next week you're just hosed, there's nothing you can do to escape swamp rear end hell except get so drunk and stoned you don't notice

Now is the time to buy water and fill up your gas tank and the fact that it's selling out now is a sign that not everybody in florida is retarded. If you wait until you know you definitely need it for sure this time, it's definitely going to be sold out everywhere and there might not be any more trucks coming to replenish it and if it is for sale anywhere there will be a long rear end line

hurricane chasing streams suck most of the time because 1.) you can't chase a hurricane and 2.) everyone's 4g is out within minutes of landfall. so unless someone fucks up massively right around landfall everyone gets blueballs

zedprime posted:August just ended and the Atlantic is a hot tub right now, if that sucker makes no/partial landfall it's gonna be organized and pushing Cat 1 winds till it passes Maine or makes landfall, whichever comes first. Chesapeake Bay is still very much in the cards to take a cat 1 hit. It's a bit disingenuous to call this a hit unless it gets here, makes a hard left and then stalls. You're talking about a few hours of really strong wind into the bay before it's far enough north for the wind to reverse course and blow the water back out. It'd be loving great if noreasters could learn that trick.

I've volunteered with UMCOR, an offshoot of the united methodist church devoted to disaster relief. They do disaster relief around the country and the region and long after FEMA is gone they'll be there on the ground fixing peoples' homes with a very well-oiled machine. I spent a week in Pensacola with a small team and we partially reframed a couple of old ladies' homes in-place, fixed their roof damage, remediated their mold, and replaced mattresses and appliances that had been moldy/busted for 2 years since they flooded. I'm not religious but it was a great experience, I learned a lot and the recipients were super grateful. You can be sure they'll be in the bahamas and florida and wherever this storm goes, helping people who've slipped through the cracks. If you've got methodist churches around you can probably find a local group to tag along with. They've also got an 89.9 on charity navigator.

the problem is most people wait to drink the piss until they're already out of water and dehydrated, but at that point there's barely any water in your piss either. this is why you should drink your piss first before you even break into your emergency water. you're going to be sweating in the dark anyway so you'll need the salt to replenish your electrolytes

Hazo posted:For real. Like, we love to laugh at, and live vicariously through, the dudes live-streaming as they plow through ditches and collapsing gas stations, but the fact that we’re not seeing anything in real time is chilling. We never see anything in realtime for long after landfall unless it's a wet fart rain-event, even in the US. The internet always goes out shortly after the power. We only know about the car warsh because that happened at the very beginning of the storm. Nobody remembers that jeff fell off the map a few minutes later and spent the rest of the night struggling to tweet that he was ok from a nearby walmart

Sleeveless posted:This article from earlier this year is fantastic and really captures how much denial the institutions around Florida are about their impending environmental catastrophe. Pretty much every objective scientific forecast shows that places like Miami are going to be under water in a few decades and real estate just shrugs it off with "the city installed pumps, we're fine now" and insurance just assures people that entering a hard market is a good thing because it means rates will go down once it softens again. what's going to happen is someday a big one will hit, and the flood insurance will run out of money, and their reinsurers will run out of money, and overnight all that coastal property will become uninsurable, the market will implode and it'll cascade up and down all of the hurricane-exposed gulf/atlantic coastline

I read an article a long time ago about how you can make a pretty good living in the Caribbean as a guy with a boat, even without trafficking contraband. Tourists are always looking to hire a boat to get to some island, go fishing or snorkeling or just drink and do coke all day, and in between gigs the boat is your mobile home and can go wherever

I feel like this keeps happening and the next time a monster storm rolls around no one will need evacuation orders and it's going to be terrible. I just can't shake the feeling the US deserves it not these small island nations that get bulldozed. Florida is pretty safe as long as there are all these pesky islands in the way of every hurricane

DreadLlama posted:A rich guy can afford to use 2x10s where code only calls for 2x6s. He can afford a steel roof - and he doesn't need to wait for government subsidy to put solar panels on it. A rich dude and a poor dude, even if they were next-door-neighbors, do not experience disasters in the same way. You're not wrong in lusting for a hurricane to hit Mar-a-Lago. But it isn't bringing social justice. It's also wrong to imagine that the rich do not suffer when their homes are destroyed just because they have insurance
