did they really build this freaking nuke plant 23 miles from downtown New Orleans and upstream of it on the Mississippi river??



with fukushima they started at 10, 20, 30km evacuation zones and eventually got up to nearly 50 miles radius recommended to evacuate. and it's still leaking stuff into the ocean to this day.

lmao

let's hope they keep those generators running and stocked with fuel!

look at this guy who thinks we could have built the plant downstream of New Orleans, a port on the coast :smug:

Got blasted with rain again yesterday in my area. Nothing to do with the left over rain from the hurricane. This happened to a school a few towns over from where I live:

if anyone’s interested in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which in the last year has been hit by:

one cat 4 hurricane August 2020
one cat 4 hurricane October 2020
one snap freeze that broke half the water lines in the city December 2020
one 4ft flood that lasted all day in March 2021

…well it was just hit directly by a tornado. Just ripped half of my partners mom’s house in two.
If you’ll remember, half of the buildings in the city and most houses haven’t fully rebuilt from the first hurricane…

you'll be pleased to know we're in year 1 of 4 years of building back, better

it wasn't the 232 mph wind from the tornado, it was the semi-truck that removed your house from its foundation

Oh and Google maps has been offering unpaved forest service roads as route alternatives over literal mountains in this mega storm. So tech bro in his "all wheel drive" Mercedes...lol.

So I don't know poo poo about the other stuff (sounds bad OP - unironically), but I took some of these type of roads (because google routed me on them) back in the fall in the coastal hilly forests of Oregon when I was hunting and holy poo poo they were a bear to navigate with full sunny weather, no rain, but still just narrow and overgrown and abrupt endings off of cliffs or boulders in the literal middle of the road. But yeah dump feet of snow on top and then yeah that's a good way to get places. :rubby:

Yeah that's Oregon. This is Tahoe specifically which is nestled in the center of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Sort of like an high altitude lake in the cradle of the Rockies. Very steep and very hard for a non4WD in the summer, let alone winter

E: get this, every pass north of Bakersfield has been closed since Christmas.

Even more crazy eh? drat.

Burning stuff is an incredibly low cost entertainment option when you're poor. You can have a whole day or evening of fun on the cheap!

It also saves money because you don't have to pay to take stuff to the dump!

I'm not in Phoenix but I just saw that Disturbed/Jinjer are having to postpone their concert there because their equipment isn't working right in the heat.

No power on Maui. Cell service is mostly gone. Only one real road available to evacuate the populated area and new fires are popping up everywhere.

Should add that the videos below are really unpleasant, so caution clicking on these

The second video has a dead or likely soon to be body towards the very end, might consider mentioning that in your post.

These videos are reminding me of the Gatlinburg TN wildfire videos from 2016.

Level 8 alert? That feels like two many alert levels on that scale.

Who could possibly remember that many different levels of alert!

That's what you get with the metric system.

advertisement profit driven meteorology means that everything has to be the biggest and worst thing ever to have existed or else it is boring which means less money for the capitalism vampires. also we hosed up the climate so everything really is extra powerful and bad

sounds like climate change it going to produce some nice profit from all these extreme weather events, america stays winning

Does this thread have a weather app recommendation for Android phones (not sure if iphone/android matters but just in case)? I have "Hyperlocal Weather" and I dunno but it just seems mediocre. Wondering if there's a more accurate forecasting app out there.

How do these types of forecasts hold up? Like I assume there was one for last year, how'd it compare to reality?
