roads can beat wind but dirt cant beat water

That's the point I'm making. We've improved our construction and building code. A Cat 5 is no longer capable of wiping away *all* human man-made buildings.

Yet. Mexico Beach was etch-a-sketched out of existence. Yes, a few buildings are still standing, out of...several hundred? Looking at that and saying "this is mild destruction because there were 3 out of 250 buildings still standing [with unknown amount of flood, wind, and debris damage]" is baffling

what do you see after a big hurricane comes through? tarps on roofs. Get them on *before* the storm and you will save yourself a lot of repair costs.

You can make a house out of a tarp have you ever heard of a refugee camp??

Gonna be a lot of them if every summer is the hottest summer ever and every winter is the coldest winter ever and every fire is the greatest inferno ever and every hurricane and tornado is the most destructive ever and every flood is the highest flood ever and every drought is the dryest ever and every snowfall is deep and every heat wave is severe and every rainfall is torrential and every wind gust is the most blustery ever

Gonna need lots of tarps

Same here. Thankfully it’s overnight on a weekend but it’s still going to cause problems. We just had 2 huge potholes on the interstate around here filled in and like 10 cars had their tires and rims hosed from them before PennDOT was able to fill them (which they surprisingly did very quickly)

It’s going to rain all day until 10pm and then do this

Speaking of which, I need to buy a new window air conditioner for this summer. Should probably order it now before they all sell out.

Any good brand recommendations? Any to avoid? I know this is only tangentially related to weather, but I didn't see any "PYF Air Conditioners" in the Inspect Your Gadgets forums.

EDIT: It got all rotted and corroded from humidity because I did not cover it with a tarp over the winter.

is fetter fedder a brand? worked great before I had central air for many years even 110 unit from Walmart kept me sleeping in comfort.
