I just looked at the last decade and a half of data and we only had a named storm starting with the letter I a couple times before september and that was late august

already a third of the way through the alphabet and we still have over three months to go

ok, I think I'm pretty well stocked on food and water due to covid, but any cspam-approved hurricane hacks to buy this coming week before this season gets wild? for reference i am in Puerto Rico. This also means that Amazon takes a million years to get here, so ideally stuff that I can get in stores. Also in an apartment building, so unfortunately can't use a gas generator or similar equipment.

I mean, you're in PR so you probably have all this stuff but...

- BATTERY POWERED FANS (preferably rechargeable).
- Extra gas cans filled with gas (for your car if not a generator)
- These days I'd recommend a water purifier since all the supply chains are hosed from COVID and Trump.
- A Kindle with lots of books.
- A solar/wind/hand crank battery charger.

That's all I can think of for now.

absolutely, respect, some real powerhouse storms early on in the mix too, Dennis was a cat 4 and emily was a cat 5, a real one-two combination, no one can deny katrina's multifaceted, subtle and gross impact on our culture and society

2020 is more like a zerg rush, the first named storm was right in the middle of may, a few weeks before most hurricane seasons tend to kick off, and we've seen a steady drip of relatively weak storms

It takes real dedication to keep zerg rushing after the 10 minute mark, but 2020 is the kind of year to do it.

Whoops douglas didn't weaken at all and is going to destroy Kauai too, but not before destroying Honolulu

Watched a bunch of big military planes fly out yesterday which I'm sure is fine.

Lol reminds me of that other hurricane a couple years ago going over an air force base and they couldn't fly out the f22s in maintenance so they all got destroyed and we lost like 10% of our f22 fleet to climate change

quick reminder that Honolulu has never, in recorded history, been hit by a hurricane. If one actually hits here it is going to be an unmitigated catastrophe.

yes but the records only go back to 1976, when the hall of records was mysteriously blown away
