nice

it probably won't hold though, IIRC once a hurricane reaches cat 5 it's strong enough to cause the upwelling of deep cold water, and thus weakens itself

So it sounds like the most accurate fictional future dystopia is going to be Rifts, a paper and pencil RPG if you're unfamiliar

Both coasts flooded and destroyed, and now inhabited only by dinosaurs and Atlantean pirates

the only North American civilization left is a fascist rump state of the US, centered around the Great Lakes where literacy is illegal. Except we don't even get giant power armor as a consolation, goddamn

Wikipedia says this:


But I also looked at the French version of the article and it quotes a newspaper talking about 15 deaths in France alone. It's a far cry from the 15,000 dead during the 2003 heatwave, either way.

redleader posted:

thanks

yeah, it's nuts how big 2003 was. according to wikipedia, 70k deaths (!!) can be attributed to that one. i guess it meant people were better prepared this time?


I bet it's this. In 2003 such weather was unprecedented, but by 2019 even with a (worse, right?) heatwave it's probably less of a deviation from normal and people know to keep mee maw and pep pep from dying of heatstroke.

yes, but it's only really apparent downtown. Which is completely dead, no one ever goes there, though if you drive around at night you'll see a line of "shops" that all have different names and facades but clearly the exact same pastel-colored design template and neon-colored lighting scheme. And there's nothing for sale inside, it's just scientology offices/torture chambers

Somehow I knew Hurricane Hanna would be the first landfall of the season. The alliteration is too good.

Omar is going to be a big, bad one. This is so twitter can go crazy with awful "Omar Coming!" memes. And Hurricane Marco is going to hit south Florida because Marco Rubio exists to be humiliated.
