the tweets from people who actually have a personal connection to the situation are the ones worthy of reading. gently caress that bro :radcat:

No, 7 people have officially died.
I did some math on the death tolls after Katrina when Puerto Rico got hit last year. The final death toll was about 200 times the early reported numbers in both cases. It's an extremely loose ballpark estimate, but I think it's safe to assume the final number will be in the 4 digits here as well.

i assume that the more southern bahamas which are an enormous black hole of financial crime and tourism and gambling will never truly help recompense for the suffering of the more human tolls who were wrecked on the upper islands, because by the terms of history theres so much foreign influence of rule via snotty pedigree

Heed my words C-SPAM, and dabble not in dark psychic forces unless you are prepared to accept the spiritual consequences.

Waves of crippling depression have struck me in the midweek, following the weekend of channeling energy toward Dorian.

Safeguard yourself and especially your astral self.

They are gonna buy everything they can for cheap, squeeze the maximum amount of relief money they can out of it, rebuild everything super cheaply but insured to the max and hope for another hurricane to double their money while everyone who actually lives there gets screwed out of relief money and has to deal with the lovely rebuilds that just fall apart faster and worse in the next hurricane

The funny thing is how across the top of every forecast map it says "...hazardous conditions can occur outside the cone." So he didn't even have to draw a halfassed sharpie extension, he could have used that. Like, if the hurricane did actually follow that path it would probably cause some heavy rains and wind in alabama.

Furthermore, why does the noaa keep changing their forecast? It's like they don't know what they're doing. Just pick one and stick to it.

They're the ones marked APxx and EExx, which are "ensemble members" of GFS and ECMWF models, respectively. These are model runs that use slightly varied initial conditions which are different than what actually exist as a sort of way of representing chaos and unknown variables.
