If it makes you feel any better, some of the totally drowned streets in the north east of this map don’t seem to have had any houses on them:



Still really bad tho

Hi there.
Why would you build that many streets without any houses?

That's the way suburbs are often planned. First the streets are made, then the lots are sold, then the houses are built. Some developer probably bought a giant lot as an investment and was trying to sell it off piece by piece for much more

Speaking of palm trees, from abaco's airport:



Yeah he'll be fine, it's basically everyone else who isn't in a house built to withstand hurricanes 15 feet up on stilts that is in trouble.

Hey may not be, the storm surge was projected to be 18-23 feet. 15ft wasn't high enough if that's the case.

This is also pretty much why historically black neighborhoods like the one in East Austin don't even have sidewalks or things like that. The city planners say "And we'll put those people right here, and spend as little as possible doing it"

In places that get a lot of hurricanes, this has some consequences!

the no sidewalk thing i think works in both ways. there's lots of rich white-flight enclaves built like 30-40 years ago here in the bay area without sidewalks (like lafayette) and also lots of rich limo lib marin neighborhoods have no sidewalk (tbf some of that is because they were built pre-automobile and just very narrow horse-roads with housing abutting them so there's no room). this is so "those evil urban ferals" don't come walking through their neighborhood to steal their tv. but also yeah it's a way to gently caress with poorer areas as well.

This is Twitter's fault.

They terminate hashtags when they've been popular for a while to keep things fresh, so they end up promoting misspelled hastags because #HurricaneDorian simply won't trend anymore.

The eye has been wobbling a bit, and on some maps even looked like it was going backwards for a second. Might be the start of an eyewall replacement cycle?

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Mon Sep 2 2019

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Dorian, located near Grand Bahama Island.

1. An elongated area of low pressure is located a few hundred miles
west of the Cabo Verde Islands. Although this system is currently
producing limited showers and thunderstorms, a tropical depression
is expected to form during the next day or so while the system moves
generally northwestward across the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

2. An extensive area of showers and thunderstorms continues in
association with an area of low pressure located over the
south-central Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression is
likely to form during the next few days while the low moves
slowly westward or west-southwestward toward the coast of Mexico.
Interests along the northeast coast of Mexico should monitor the
progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

3. A trough of low pressure, located several hundred miles
south-southeast of Bermuda, is producing disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Some gradual development of the disturbance is
possible during the next couple of days. Afterward, upper-level
winds are forecast to become less favorable for tropical cyclone
formation. Interests in Bermuda should monitor the progress of this
disturbance.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...30 percent.

4. A tropical wave is forecast to emerge over the far eastern tropical
Atlantic between Africa and the Cabo Verde Islands in a few days.
Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for
development, and a tropical depression could form late this week or
over the weekend while the system moves westward to
west-northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service
can be found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01
KWBC, and online at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.php

Forecaster Roberts

so that's one tropical depression almost certainly forming west of the cabo verde in the next few days, plus potentially another one east of the cabo verde later in the week, plus one that's likely to form in the gulf of mexico :pwn:
