cant wait to see Florence’s “nuisance flooding” of Charleston this week

It's true and I'm tired of pretending it isn't
I think there's a pattern here

1. People become aware of a hurricane
2. The hurricane gets upgraded to OHFUCK
3. Nothing gets destroyed right away so people get impatient and scream nothingburger
4. The hurricane runs its course and destroys poo poo, and the nothingburger people quietly gently caress off

The nothingburger crew also likes to pretend that forceasts were more apocalyptic than they were in order to justify nothingburgering over even a huge disaster. Like someone posted a couple pages back in the GBS thread "remember when all the models were showing a cat 5 landfall except for one that was a cat 4, lol" which was never a thing.

Florence broadened its wind field a shitload and lost some core wind speed as a result. Traded wind for integrated kinetic energy. hmm IKE what storm does that remind me of.....

they also think it's a Cat 2 which, it appears to be sustaining ~110 and shear is no longer an issue. i guess it'd be a good idea to have stairs in your house considering a wide swath of the state will be experiencing direct and tertiary flooding for the next 48h+.

kinda want a Pandemic style flash game where you grow a hurricane and spec it out in various ways and then try to aim it to do the most damage upon landfall

Gordon went up the gulf coast and through to the northeast, where he pissed out a whole bunch of rain pushing against the high-pressure zone that guided Florence.

The cam is at the pointy bit of coast just north of the SC/NC border. So it's not even that close to the storm yet.
