Mr. Nice! posted:The storm surge isn't a concern. The concern is the 30-40 inches of water in a couple days dumping on areas that get less than that annually. Again. I don't know the topography. Even a 6 foot surge can gently caress poo poo up depending on the topography. So its not automatically discredited. But yes. And I mentioned it earlier. The rain, especially inland is going to ruin a lot of poo poo. It will probably cause the most damage, since the building codes in the area where winds will be the worst are stringent. Speaking of Surge numbers... The latest estimates: N Entrance Padre Island Natl Seashore to Sargent...6 to 12 ft Sargent to Jamaica Beach...5 to 8 ft Port Mansfield to N Entrance Padre Island Natl Seashore...5 to 7 ft Jamaica Beach to High Island...2 to 4 ft Mouth of the Rio Grande to Port Mansfield...2 to 4 ft High Island to Morgan City...1 to 3 ft The 1am central update is in.

I mean, yeah, for sure coastal areas are going to get hosed by the surge, but the real issue is going to be Austin, Houston, etc getting 2-3x their annual rainfall in a 2-3 day span. Flooding is gonna be bad, yo.

Would also work as a character in a cyberpunk novel. But yeah apparently the plant in Matagorda County, one of the two nuke plants in the state, is vulnerable to being knocked out by an upstream dam failure. I'm ready for the Matagorda Zone.

It will probably cause the most damage, since the building codes in the area where winds will be the worst are stringent. A 6 foot surge will definitely mess up the coastal areas. Depending on when they were developed a lot of them will be grandfathered into the more stringent codes and into the NFIP. The beaches here have a ton of one story homes in an area with a base flood elevation of 5 or so feet. Couple that with rain and high tide and some areas are boned unless they're elevated. I'm about to leave for another flight into Harvey. It's movement is slow and it's sitting on a warm eddy so it's intensifying rapidly. It was declared a hurricane as we flew into it yesterday, and was tickling CAT 2 when we left. We are deploying a mapping aircraft tomorrow to survey damage, etc, but if it's does major damage I'm sure our emergency response role with be more intense.

bird food bathtub posted:But climate change is a hoax guys the president told me so. I was talking to someone recently who believes climate change is a hoax. I asked them what the worst possible outcome of believing climate change is real is, if it is indeed a hoax. Something about killing industry, unemployment going up, the economy suffering, taxing people to build solar panels, somethingsomething. Then I asked what the worst possible outcome of believing climate change is a hoax is, if it is indeed real. He kind of stumbled through a response about how it's a hoax so he doesn't need to entertain the idea of it being real.

It's just a difference in class and type. Yeah, it's not an "icebreaker" in the traditional sense. It's an LNG ship. But it's Arc7 rating is actually better in some ways or equal to the Icebreaker6 designation many of the purpose built Russian icebreakers have.

Madurai posted:I am old, and thus remember when SS Manhattan did it in--what? 1971? Manhattan had a two icebreaker escort. Ships have been doing the Northwest Passage unassisted for a while now, albeit occasionally. Every few years a shipping company will pull a stunt like this and get media attention, it's basically meaningless. This is a good ice year, meaning there's not a whole lot of ice in the Arctic. It's a single data point, not a sure fire sign of global warming. Is the trend worrysome? drat right. Arc7 is between PC 3 and 4. That thing is an icebreaker. Wake me up when they pull that poo poo in the winter and turn a profit doing it.

If you aren't following the meteorology thread, you're missing out. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3762868 The storm is intensifying more than expected. It's closing in on Katrina strength and is expected to just sit over Texas and poo poo upwards of 3 feet of rain.

Be thankful nobody here is at an AETC base right now. "Well you've swept up all the trash and branches that we possibly could on the base. I can't just cut you loose because I'm a big sandy vagina so now you're going to go clean up retiree yard because those fat fucks totally can't do it themselves."
