A Big Fuckin Hornet posted:im NW where its usually fine but are parts of the city expecting anything crazy like this? This was because someone had stolen the copper pipes out of the pumping station for that overpass, in general Detroit has little to no real flooding compared to other cities, with only certain areas being prone to it. The Rouge River does a pretty drat good job of draining the city even with huge amounts of rain. Like it blew my mind when i moved to NW indiana and poo poo sometimes just stayed flooded for days at a time

The pumping system in New Orleans was like this state of the art technological marvel ... in 1900. It's so loving old that it uses the wrong kind of electricity. 25 cycle instead of the standard 60 cycle. So they have to have a bunch of ancient power generators that no one makes parts for anymore so they have to machine parts themselves if anything breaks.

Like it blew my mind when i moved to NW indiana and poo poo sometimes just stayed flooded for days at a time i didnt know about the stolen pipes but the flooding from that storm was not just limited to that one overpass. allen park and dearborn hgts near the ecorse river had scenes like this  doing some googling though and it looks like stealing copper pipes from pumping stations are a real thing nationwide and was directly responsible for at least one major flood here in 2014. another story was in New Orleans which seems like a particularly bad city to do that.

hobbesmaster posted:any synchronous generator can produce 25Hz, just have to set the right speed. I think the route they're going is strapping converters onto some part of the system so it can hook up to 60-cycle power. But this is also expensive and the project is taking forever while we get "100 years rains" every 2 years or so.

That storm that caused all the tornadoes finally made it over to Europe and still has a crazy amount of energy. It was the most intense thunderstorm that I have ever witnessed here, sky went totally black, it only lasted an hour but the entire time was nearly constant back-to-back cascading lightning strikes and massively loud thunder, howling wind, all the cats in the neighborhood were freaking the gently caress out and meowing like crazy. I had an empty pot outside and it filled with a good two inches of rain. Not mine, but it was pretty much like this nonstop for an hour: https://twitter.com/evasaputo/status/1136021306334429185 All transportation was totally hosed everywhere this morning because there were downed trees everywhere, and the storm was the width of the entire country twoday has issued a correction as of 14:56 on Jun 5, 2019 |

Socks4Hands posted:is that a waterspout that came on shore? There are two types of waterspouts, ones that are legit tornadoes over the sea, and others that can' only exist due to the sea's effect on the air. This is what happens when the later hits ground: https://i.imgur.com/Jyygor3.gifv

midwest just got another round of rain, will it put it over the top? will the cyber-demon city of oil and sin, Nu-Orleans, be pushed out to sea by a disgusted Poseidon after every single mile of every single branch of every single river feeding the Mississippi floods simultaneously?

Googling it says that the levees are actually set to 54 ft so it won't be a problem. I was just eyeballing from the bridge.
