It better fuckin' NOT. I've got (cancellable) hotel reservations in Virginia Beach from 9/8-9/10. Gonna prop my feet up on my oceanfront hotel room balcony, enjoy the sea breeze (maybe more than I'd like), and stay the holy gently caress away from people.

High improbability aside, my guess is Pat Robertson is going to die in the next week sometime if that model holds true. He's been keeping the hurricanes away from Virginia Beach, y'know! :shepface:

Ok, listen up. I know its bad right now but its going to get a lot worse, so much worse. Go to the store and buy every single N95 mask and bottle of hand sanitizer you can fine for right now. Also look up first aid for tear gas.

Ugh. Those numbers are so damned small, and I've been looking forward to getting away from DC (if only to chill beside the ocean on a balcony while 100+ feet away from people) that I didn't notice that. :cripes:

It goes through the entire greek alphabet, I think they stopped there for symmetry.

Floodplains don't mean dick when there's 25+" of rainfall in a day, my house is one of the highest elevation sites in town but due to an unfortunate geometry of highways and abandoned railbed I ended up with water 4" over my floor (30 above ground level!) during Florence anyway. If you're at the bottom of a hill you're hosed and if you're on the side of the hill, you won't be there for long.

The year is 2036. Hurricane Gamma-Gamma is anticipated to strike early tomorrow morning, and Hurricane Gamma-Delta should be arriving by the following evening. Fortunately, they're both only category 4s this time.

After the Greek alphabet, if necessary, it goes through Hebrew, Korean, Aurebesh and Klingon.
