Also, those categories are based on wind speed. "Cat 3" is not descriptive of how much rain it's going to drop on the hog poo poo lagoons

Katrina was a cat 3 when it hit and Sandy was a cat 1.

To your point, it’s still a large and destructive storm that may dump a historic amount of rain. People paying too much attention to the wind speed I think would be missing the big picture.

Chapel Hill needs an armed, sanctioned team of explorators/enforcers to come in and go "Okay, why is this place a statistical aberration in a region already plagued with racism? Let's set up tables for a summary tribunal right over there."

Drive 10 minutes north on US15/501 to Duke and Durham. You will see the opposite demographics. Institutional racism and long lasting effects of segregation policies are fun!

Florence only dropped to a cat 3 because it increased significantly in size. It should be a cat 4 again soon. Basically all projections now have it just chilling off the carolina coast for a couple of days just ruining everything.

If the money can get tied back to the Trump campaign, it sets up a strong inference that Trump accepted a foreign campaign donation and establishes a new offense for failure to report that spending.

Looks like you are right about its wind dropping being "a bad thing"

quote:

Data from an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft along with
satellite imagery and various intensity estimates indicate that
Florence has weakened instead of strengthening. However, while the
hurricane hasn't strengthened in terms of peak winds, the inner-core
and outer wind fields have continued to expand, resulting in an
increase the cyclone's total energy, which will create a significant
storm surge event.
The upper-level outflow remains impressive and is
still expanding except toward the south.

That total energy measure is what's going to gently caress people. The bulk of it may move one way or another, but that huge mass of water vapour with momentum is going somewhere, and if its over you, good luck.

Or if you're outland from where it runs off, good luck. Or if you're within hundreds of miles of that much making GBS threads water being lofted around, good luck.

They didn't pick up any more cat 4 winds, but the size of the cat 3 winds (considered major storm for NOAA) is 110kt and the circle that represents that on their map has gotten appreciably larger today. The 5PM update is basically confirming the chilling down the coast projection. This thing is going to start making landfall early tomorrow morning. The eye is going to approach land, but just chill off the coast and gleefully take all day friday to move from the edge of NC/SC to the SC/Georgia border before finally moving inland and starting to dissipate over Georgia and the rest of the southeast.


Also parts of all three states are getting more than 3 feet of water dumped on them in this same timeframe. The shallow end of a pool over 3 days.

Fauxton, are you the person who does money laundering investigations? If so, what do you think of that vox article I linked upthread about Trump's business being tied into the Russian mafia laundering money through real estate for the last three decades. Plausible?

It's been public knowledge since the primaries and wasn't really a big secret before. After Trump's bankruptcies in the 90s no American lender would touch him so he's been funding everything with laundered russian money ever since.

The best part is that almost all of it is probably legal since US real estate is basically unregulated. The only thing that would get him in trouble would be any attempts at tax evasion or quid pro quo poo poo specifically pertaining to his campaign.
