2017 Hurricane Season thread (Updated)

Started by Sable21 pages

I have family in Palm Beach. So this sucks.

St. Marteen completely destroyed and its world famous airport demolished.

The storm is bigger then France and its bigger then Germany.

What's annoying is that where I live (which is sort of at the end of the projected course), so we're expected to get rain and possibly some wind and I guess potentially lose power depending on the strength of this thing, people are still freaking out and buying all the gas in sight for some reason. The gas went up a little because of Harvey demolishing Houston, but I'm pretty sure we don't get any gas supply from Florida, so it shouldn't affect gas. But still everyone is freaking out and it's hard to find gas now. Water and bread are hard to find on the shelves now, too.

yeah but deregulations on safety precautions could well have led to that shutdown in texas. it was arguably preventable. maybe they're just anticipating the same. wise imho.

St.Barths completely destroyed. Stoem bigger than Texas.

Nagua, Domican Republic destroyed.

maybe i should ask for this thread to be locked, and sable could post another one? then maybe we can talk about the hurricane instead of watching surt have another crybaby meltdown over obama/antifa/OP/everything not having to do with the topic?

'Cause that's what we need, more threads dedicated to hurricanes. I say they should all be combined.

Goddamn, they're urging "all Floridians" to evacuate now.

All?

Every storm doesn't need its own thread.

I merged them into one so we can discuss it all here.

Well, they just cancelled my work for Monday.

So hey, there is a silver lining to everything! 😄

Remember to start looting early before all the good shit is gone.

Some media outlets have no shame:

CAT 5 now. Will hit FL as a CAT 5.

Looks like it's getting stronger again. To be Cat 5 again by the time it hits Florida.
