September 8, 20232 yr Guns ain't gonna stop 155 mph winds. Looking at the satellite, it's not that impressive to be honest. Feel like normally at that speed these things are monsters with well-formed eyes.
September 8, 20232 yr let's keep the looters and gun talk to the, uh, looters and gun threads that i'm sure exist but don't feel like looking for, k thx
September 8, 20232 yr Guns ain't gonna stop 155 mph winds. Looking at the satellite, it's not that impressive to be honest. Feel like normally at that speed these things are monsters with well-formed eyes. The eye was very apparent earlier this morning. However, when it goes through an eyewall regeneration the eye looks "closed off". For a cat 5 ,the size isn't like Michael but each hurricane is different I suppose. Wind vice rain hurricanes.

There are other tools in the house if things are that bad, but the shotgun is my go to for simple shit. I did not sell weapons, but I have been around a lot and in some interesting places. correct, every location and situation requires adjustment. San Salvador or Kabul? Yep, different weapons. A nice part of a pretty safe Texas town? Nah, don't need an RPK or an M-4. I would love to have an MP-5 though. For pigs I preferred an AK over an M-4.

September 8, 20232 yr So did I hear right . . . this thing might get to 180 mph winds?Shits crazy, may be time for a new scale.

For a place that doesn't get storms like that very often, it's a big deal.
September 14, 20232 yr If this hits NE, it's going to impact my chances of convincing the family to move up there in a year or two.
September 14, 20232 yr 6 hours ago, locodos said: Best source IMHO, even though he is a Nole. It's all about the distance of travel over next couple days. Your guy above basically matches what Ryan Hall Y'all said in video post earlier. If Lee slows in travel distance for awhile, and does a left hook late to the NW, then NH down to Cape Cod area will definitely suffer more damage, especially if the tides are at the wrong level when it arrives... Edited September 14, 20232 yr by LTtxfan
September 14, 20232 yr Just watched a couple videos... wind shear from west has weakened Lee, so worst case for NE states is most likely off table. Unless things change significantly, Lee may just continue to north well off East coastline, and only be a Cat 1 at strongest during landfall Saturday night in Maine/Nova Scotia. NE states may just get 50-60 mph winds along coastal areas (except for Maine) as the western side of Lee skirts by their coastlines... Edited September 14, 20232 yr by LTtxfan
September 14, 20232 yr Hot off the press... Rip current risks down thru Florida Hurricane Lee PM Update from the NHC in Miami, FL (September 14, 2023) Streamed 57 minutes ago
September 15, 20232 yr Fun to watch some local folks in Maine... Colder waters of NE should continue to really weaken Lee. Looks like U.S. folks are gonna dodge a bullet with this storm...

September 16, 20232 yr I'm in Bar Harbor right now. Some locals have boarded up shops, others are saying they get worse nor'easters all the time. The wind has picked up, and it sounds like rain could cause some flooding. There was talk of streaking behind the weather channel guy.
September 22, 20232 yr Feels like it’s been a fish season. 1 landfall?Two, right?? We had one hit Texas early in the season, iirc. It may have only been a tropical storm.
September 22, 20232 yr Tropical Storm Ophelia https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/tropical-storm-ophelia-to-drench-atlantic-states-with-months-worth-of-rain/ar-AA1h6lG6#image=1
October 25, 20232 yr Quote This special advisory is being issued to update the current and forecast intensity of Otis. Satellite images show that the very rapid intensification observed earlier today has continued, and the latest data support an initial intensity of 125 kt. The intensity forecast peak is updated to 140 kt, category 5 strength, since the environment isn't forecast to change much before landfall, and there are no signs of this explosive intensification stopping. This is an extremely dangerous situation, and all preparations for Otis should be rushed to completion. Not often you see a category 5 forecast from the NHC
October 25, 20232 yr Have not seen the track. Forecasted to move across Mexico or up into the US? https://weather.com/forecast/regional/news/2023-10-24-pacific-hurricane-otis-mexico

By 4pm they realized the models, and they, we're way off. Expected to be a Cat 4 at landfall. By 7pm, they released a special advisory stating they were still to low on their forecast. Forecast models are having a hard time guessing strengths of hurricanes that are candidates for rapid intensification. The models have never seen this kind of RI before. The NHC is going to have to learn a lot from this hurricane season.

October 25, 20232 yr Lots of people are going to be in a lot of trouble. Hope Otis curls west as soon as possible and does not hug the coast.
October 25, 20232 yr Damn they are about to get fucked up. I have a coworker that lives in Colima and we flew him and his family to Dallas but he is freaking out about his family that is still there

All kinds of pants shitting is ongoing
October 25, 20232 yr And where do you go? Those close by mountains are going to be raging floods. Hurricane Mitch was a bitch with internal flooding. People ran into the mountains and then the mountains turned into rivers. Feel bad for that region. Cartels yesterday, a CAT 5 today.
