Our JIT logistics economy breeds infrastructure fragility after all

5 days of supplies is what they tell you to prepare for a hurricane right?

I saw a big post the other day listing off a bunch of ship names of navy vessels headed towards the caribbean as of Saturday and for some reason one still in port in Norfolk thus definitively proving that anyone complaining about not having water or power or food is a fake news liberal media demoncrat

3 to 5 days and fill up your car beforehand. But this is all dependent on being able to get those resources in a short amount of time. Here in Florida it was a huge mess leading up to Irma so I imagine it would be even harder in Puerto Rico.

recon already scheduled for 1800Z. This is in a zone that could RI hard and catch people off guard with landfall times already within the 5 day range.

00z runs pretty universally indicate that something will be in the SE GoM in a few days. Main question will be how much land interaction and how strong the ridge near FL builds. This is the season that never ends.

rapid intensification is always possible when it gets over the gulf. it's not modeled very well because we don't really know exactly why it happens sometimes.

I thought I wrote "major" in there as I was referring to the 12 year period where no Cat 3+ storms hit the US. The last being Wilma in 2005 before Harvey in 2017.

Also this is the first year ever that 3 Cat 4 hurricanes have hit the US. With Nate now making landfall it's the first time since 2005 that 4 hurricanes have hit the US in one season.

still. Nate was too fast to dump major rains and New Orleans pump network easily kept up with this one. I guess Nate's storm surge was the only real problem.

Yeah although the MS coastal casinos are right on the beach so them flooding out is really no surprise whatsoever.

Nate was moving too fast to get its poo poo together although it sure tried as hard as it could along the way.
