I’m glad they are going to drown now. i remember driving to galveston once and we stopped somewhere near the bay so i could piss and as soon as i took out my pecker it was covered in mosquitos and i decided to just hold it in

I will never understand the people who fly in hurricane hunters. God love em but it's one of the last jobs I'd ever sign up for. This is a good long read about one of those trips turning to absolute poo poo: https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/articles/hunting-hugo-part-1

might hit during an eyewall replacement cycle so it’s weaker, that’s what Katrina did and was probably the only reason that “high rises may collapse” part of the nws warning didn’t come to pass

Yeah but its still got time. How long does an eyewall replacement cycle take anyway on a hurricane this big?

Is that good or bad? the bad news: it'll reduce oil production the good news: the current contents of those production and storage facilities will all wind up in the gulf and/or the unrelenting nonsurvivable storm surge

George H.W. oval office posted:wtf is an eyewall replacement? is it molting? big hurricanes can generate storms within the hurricane which get gradually sucked into the eye, when the storms and the eye are too close they interfere and the eyewall weakens until the storms are fully integrated into the center of the hurricane and the eyewall returns to full strength https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyewall_replacement_cycle

George H.W. oval office posted:wtf is an eyewall replacement? is it molting? kind of! the eyewall is where the strongest winds are. when a strong gets ridiculously strong there’s so much energy and outer eyewall also forms and slowly starts merging in to the middle which will cause the original inner eyewall to dissipate. the new eyewall is usually stronger in the end. cat 5 storms will sometimes oscillate between 4/5 because of this. Katrina went from a 5 to a 3 right at landfall due to one of these cycles.

It's just beginning to reach the strength at which an eyewall replacement cycle might happen. But it might hit land before that can even start, meaning it could strengthen further into category 5 before landfall.

Oh dear, my buddy is only 35 miles inland from the Galveston barrier island thing on Google Maps, and only 12 miles inland from the west edge of Galveston Bay/Trinity Bay  I'm watching that cam posted earlier; it's showing Pleasure Pier Rides at the moment, and nothing looks too spicy yet.

So there's no possibility of the storm making last minute course adjustments right.

I met a guy in my undergrad meteorology class who wanted to be the scientist on a hurricane plane. I wonder if he ever got to do it.

I wonder if he ever got to do it. was he commissioned in NOAA Corp? dumb trivia but there’s actually 8 uniformed services of the federal government and one of them runs the NOAA planes and ships. in GiP there’s a goon that is a flight engineer (iirc) for the NOAA P-3s he posts about hurricane missions occasionally in the GiP current events thread. he did the same job on P-3s in the USN I think?

Watch Laura make landfall, then make a sharp button hook over Alabama and Georgia right into the tropical storm "nursery" area that's right off Georgia and the Carolinas before regaining strength and raking the East Coast before plowing into NYC.
