Someone posted this in last year's thread about how damage from wind increases by the 8th order as wind speed increases.

What that means is that if you double the wind speed, the damage done doesn't increase by 2, it increases by 28.


Or, to put it graphically:





EDIT: Dorian has 185mph sustained wind speeds, so yeah. drat.

I was just imagining today Trump bragging about how Obama didn't get big storms but he has only been in office one term and has had much bigger storms. It was funny and seemed like something that will happen.

are you 100% sure this hasn’t happened

If the hurricane starts weakening that might actually affect its track and make it hit florida

Was that the place that was fully flooded hours ago? it's STILL there?

I was watching the news and they had a camera crew in a bunker, at some point you probably should just evacuate everyone and gently caress the news no?

They say hurricane force winds go as far as 45 miles from the center, so roughly 90 miles in diameter for the worst stuff. At 7mph that takes 18 hours if you're a direct hit. Tropical storm level winds are up to 140 miles from the center.

Miami Herald posted:

A spokesperson for Disney confirmed the company closed down the island for guests but said that there was no need to send away its staffers because there was a hurricane shelter on the property built to withstand Category 4 conditions and that the storm was forecast to pass well to the north, sparing the island of Dorian’s strongest winds.

The National Hurricane Center’s track did predict that Dorian would pass north of the Abacos as a Category 4 but also cautioned that the storm could increase in strength and shift in track. The little island also was in the cone of concern for days.

galenanorth has issued a correction as of 08:39 on Sep 2, 2019
