How do people with houseboats generally fair in these kinds of catastrophes? Part of my brain thinks they'd be better off and the other part thinks worse, and I'm not sure which is less incorrect.

If they got a weeks head start, they could feasibly evacuate by sea up to Charleston. Otherwise it's about the same thing a mobile home does in a tornado.

The fact that he was arrogant enough to believe this was a sensible thing to do? Or the fact that he didn't get shot? He was wearing a mask, so I don't think the latter counts as much.

The SSN is a unique identifier, unlike your name.

It's supposed to be unique but sometimes they manage to gently caress that up too and it's used an example for DB design of one of the many reasons to use surrogate keys (an artificial unique identifier) over a natural key (supposedly unique naturally by business or other rules).

Yes, yes, and the fact that both of them felt confident enough to hurl expletives towards officers with *weapons drawn*, and the idiot with the camera TURNED HIS BACK (about the biggest no-no you can do when the cops are drawn and kill-horny) to the officers while they were brandishing weapons.

You're mixing up tsunamis with hurricanes.

Boats can go out a few miles out from shore and be like "what tsunamis ? Lol. .......... poo poo wheres the dock/pier?"

Welp, Rush himself fled like a liberal cuck, so maybe that convinced her to get out too?

Hope she's okay, dude.

There's a fairly decent chance that bullshit is getting one more people killed this weekend and there'll probably be no way to prove it and no real lasting consequences for Rush either.

It is sort of surprising he didn't end up with four warning shots in the back for that, yeah.

If God is real he designed nature terribly. I'm filing a complaint.

Higher temperatures allow more water vapor in the air which means more stored temperature in the ocean too which means more energy to power more storms.

Basic convection currents, with a side of fluid dynamics and barometrics.

Sorry I simplified a lot of the process such as the increase water vapor preventing evaporation which keeps the temperature of the ocean highersince it can't release heat, etc etc.

They know that most people can't evacuate; they don't even have the infrastructure to move that many people without it taking weeks. Declaring the evacuation is just a legal cover so they aren't liable for anything.

Probably the most punchable face in the last 40 years of American politics.

Cruz's simpering mug is in the competition but my reaction to him is more "reeling away in nauseous horror" whereas Mr. Ryan awakens some kind of Ancient Genetic Predisposition toward the administration of a Swirly.

When you talk to a trumpite about how there could be something biblical and wrath-like in all the Hurricanes, they'll only glow on about how the Rapture and Apocalypse is surly at hand. Don't expect a republican to actually be alarmed in a sense that something should be done if its actually addressing the problem. From what I've seen, they tend to fall on older death cult beliefs and relish the opportunity of vindicating Christianity to finally be at hand.
