How badly will this hit the Miami area?
I'm thinking of the rescue/recovery work at that collapsed apartment block.

If those predictions hold true, it hits Cuba and south Florida as category 1 hurricane or tropical storm. Mostly minor damage from downed tree limbs, local power outages from lines being damaged, some storm surge, and minor local flooding. Basically a bad thunderstorm, nothing catastrophic.

The corpses pulled from the rubble will be just as dead as they were before any hurricane.

That�s really hot, but it�s not as exceptional as what happened in Washington and Oregon.

Fresno hit one hundred and twelve last August.

Yeah, this is normal central valley temps. We already hit 109 in Sacramento this year. The yearly high temps going back 100 years are almost all in the 102-108 range. 108-114 is at the upper end of the historical highs for that region. It's really hot, but not unexpected.

okay, so whats the diff then between power lines and lightning, cause supposedly you're safe in your car from lightning (I don't know for sure I'm not a lightningologist) but not power lines, so is it cause lines can get tangled in your poo poo? or it's so strong it can arc like right through the vehicle straight to you? or like it'll arc at your car and gently caress it up then you're stuck on powerlines?

*You* personally might be safe from a lightning strike in a car. The car might be hosed or catch on fire. That lightning strike is instant, with no real residual current or electrical danger. Unless you're in a Tesla, you can just get out of your dead and burning car.

Driving over downed lines means your car might be arcing and welding its own metal all over, and potentially frying itself and catching fire. While you're over live electrical lines. Now you have to worry about being on fire and electrocuted because you're stuck in a dead, burning car, with a hot chassis.

Louisiana coast square in the cone and on the east side eh

Yikes

A tropical storm on the gulf coast is a windy afternoon thunderstorm in terms of damage and rain.

These storms are getting a lot of power off the line, and I don't remember the gulf making so many storms. Not sure if that's my memory, and that I only payed attention to storms that could hit FL, or if this is happening a lot more recently. Would be nuts if the gulf starting being able to spin up cat 2-3 hurricanes that make landfall within 3 days of being noticed for having potential.

Realtalk, though, how would it rain fish in the first place? And by that, I mean, how did they get into the sky? I'm guessing a waterspout? Or are there updrafts that don't do the spinny thing that would be powerful enough to raise fish to the heavens? (Thinking something kinda like a Reverse Microburst, I guess)

I'm having a vision of a thunderclap startling a school of Asian Carp, them leaping up out of the water and then the updraft just carrying them off into the sky

Yep, it's from a waterspout/tornado picking up some water from a shallow area of water, and dumping that water and the stuff it contains somewhere else. Raining fish is one of those really rare phenomenons that's been happening forever, but it's usually been relegated to weird trivia or local folklore. I remember reading accounts of it in those little books of strange tales for kids. Soandso town had frogs rain from the sky in 1840, stuff like that. It can also happen with dirt or clay to tint the rain red or orange, depending on the local soil colors.

Get some behind-the-counter Sudafed, preferably the 12h stuff. The "PE" stuff is poo poo and doesn't work.

My migraine/sinus headache "cocktail" are two tablets of Excedrin chased with two 30mg "pre-nerf" Sudafed. I don't advise you take it any time before you intend on sleeping.

My personal anti-allergy mix was Bronkaid and zyrtec. Ephedrine feels a lot better for me than pseudoephedrine. More like the mucus become too thin and watery to cause congestion, instead of drying out and getting uncomfortable.

when visibility is decreased or the driving surface is degraded, it is very important to SPEED UP

this reduces the time spent driving under hazardous conditions, meaning that you will arrive safely at your destination sooner

same for when you start getting sleepy while driving, go faster so you can get to your destination before falling asleep.

TACD posted:

this is why it's important to speed up in low visibility, you want to get out of there before a pileup happens and you're stuck on the road for 8 hours like a loser

The tow truck at 60s made it through because they were going fast enough!

The safest places for you to be in that situation are:
#1. Away from the pile up
.
.
#2. In your vehicle

The least safe place is the transition from #2 to the #1.

Copper wires stop working at 50^oC? wtf? Is that because they sag so much they touch the ground and short out? Or is someone trying come come up with excuses for a marginal power system? Did Bagdad Bob escape the noose to get a job with the Iranian power service? What am I missing here?

Heat is the enemy of electrical and mechanic systems. The resistance of copper increases with temperature, reducing efficiency at the same time demand is probably peaking. And circuit breakers function via heating resistance, so they trip with less power running through them when the environment is hot. It doesn't stop working, but it all works worse. Which given that it's a translation, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Tampa doesn't get hit by hurricanes, so it's safe to stay.

Everytime this happens the storm bounces off the hurricane protection bubble and wrecks the panhandle or Louisiana.

Also, for everyone new to Tampa landmarks, MacDill AFB is on the bottom of that little dangly bit inside Tampa Bay. You can see the runway on some of the storm surge maps as a bit of high ground surrounded by 9+ ft of storm surge water.
