Epic High Five posted:these two will be interesting because it will be an inverse of the norm where people ignore the Liddl' Marco hurricane because Marco Rubio is so meek and pathetic, but are terrified of the Laura Loomer one because she is a nightmare creature from the hell dimension. Florida never fails to provide! Marco studied the blade (of Chang).

Wildfire isn’t going to frontally assault major cities. It is going to nibble around the edges and pick off some minor cities.

Vox Nihili posted:Unless the home is literally in the middle of a major forest surrounded by trees on all sides it's not terribly difficult to harden it against wildfires, but everyone who owns these houses is too old, lazy, and entitled to make even the barest efforts. When at-risk counties try to put in place common sense regulations regarding landscaping and fire prevention the boomers lose their goddamn minds and show up to pitch an enormous fit about their favorite dying oak tree with branches overhanging their roof. It’s also like the pandemic in that yes a mask helps you, but if the community around you is flagrantly unsafe, there are limits to how much a person can protect themselves.

I’m speculating here, but I think any organic material would handle the bleach better than the microbes. Metal objects, including electrical equipment, may fare worse with the bleach. Fungus isn’t a threat, they may be fine after cleaning and drying, but bleach will corrode them.

Tezer posted:Another solution would be to install a drain/shutoff so you can drain the area of the pipe in the exterior of the wall back to a utility space before severe weather events. Of course, I don't know your home, this might be easier said than done. There’s a pretty large margin between the temperature required to prevent freezing and the autoignition temperature of building materials. Don’t do something like curling the wire up and stuffing it in your newspaper‐insulated wall cavity, but when properly installed, heat wire is less hazardous than the wires already in your walls.

Syncopated posted:Could some engineer or whatever explain why power demand being higher than the supply breaks all the transmission stuff? Like I think I understand why it would take a long time to get everything going because you have to have equal amounts of power going in and out but I don't get the catastrophic failures happening before that. When demand increases, frequency drops. This is a natural response to loading the spinning generators more heavily. Normally, the drop is very small and it is fairly accurately forecast. Power plants are throttled up or brought online to counter it. If this does not happen, frequency just continues to drop as demand grows. The major problem with this dropping frequency is that the electrical and mechanical parts of generators are designed to operate at the sixty hertz. If a turbine does fewer revolutions per minute but is expected to put out the same power, it has to be under more torque. If a transformer operates at a lower frequency, its core saturates and overheats at lower currents. These devices trip offline to protect themselves. This further increases the gulf between demand and generation, and soon everything trips offline in a cascading failure.

HelloSailorSign posted:Hurricane Elsa coming in as an absolute wrecker of a Cat5 and scouring many homes such that the entire Elsa fandom of the eastern seaboard is destroyed as people can't bring themselves to say, "Elsa" any more due to the 4,000 deaths would be darkly humorous. I was thinking of which letters in the alphabet were least likely to be given to monster storms based on season progression, and then I remembered Hurricane Andrew. Formed: August 16, 1992

FlamingLiberal posted:You usually have to go to somewhere like Las Vegas Yeah all the water that Florida has going on limits the absolute temperature. The highest it’s hit is one hundred and nine in the panhandle. The state with the lowest high temperature record isn’t Alaska. It’s Hawai‘i. Never been warmer than ninety‐eight degrees.

Grundulum posted:I dunno about physically possible. Desert rocks that are dark colored and in extremely insolated areas can act as pretty dang effective absorbers of heat. This report would probably earn a 0 reliability score from that WUnderground author, but a satellite measurement of The Flaming Mountains in China may have detected a ground temperature above 66*C. Ground temperature is not air temperature. If we’re playing this game, I choose Erta Ale, Ethiopia. I agree that hotter temperatures are attainable now than were in the twentieth century, but some place that has never been a contender for the absolute temperature record isn’t going to come within half of a degree of it today.
