It snowed a little in Portland. We did not prepare with enough tarps, some trees fell over, and the freeway from the west side suburbs into the city was closed for most of the day.

the likelihood of tornadoes is between 11-17 in that bright pink area, on a scale that goes from 1-10

It maxes out at ~35 near Fort Dodge in that run lol

e: it's actually the likelihood of significant tornadoes EF2+

so if 10 = Tornado Comin'

does 35 = Supernado or Chain Tornadoes

the significant tornado parameter doesn’t actually go as far as claiming it’s a “likelihood” scale. still, the equation for a normally 1-10 scale where the environment is considered good for tornados EF2 and above at 4 punched out 17.

FistEnergy posted:

I just looked into it and it’s more or less a binary “yes/no” so the scale is saying “yes there absolutely will be strong tornados here, no doubt”

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

here in central texas we had a 100% chance of rain this morning and it hasn't rained a drop, it's 92 degrees out there and the sun's beating down and not a cloud nearby on the weather radar

and now alexa just gave a tornado watch

somebody's models are hosed

you can't tarp a cactus, they have a built-in natural anti-tarp mechanism that renders a tarp useless

You just need to get a puncture-resistant tarp. A trivially easy task. Please do better.

overuse of cactus-resistant tarps will just cause more tarp-resistant cactuses to evolve
