Posting from Augusta/Aiken area: all the water is gone at the stores and people were hard panic mode last night at Walmart. It doesn't look much worse than a bad thunderstorm right now but in an abundance of caution, we brought in the livestock guardian dogs, tied and weighed stuff down, filled tubs with water, and currently have a tiny lamb in the laundry room because he's sweet dumb and makes poor choices in life a lot. The wind sucks, though, and the rest of the livestock don't like it. Most devastating thing so far: popeyes didn't have frozen lemonade

most of my neighborhood got power back yesterday, but the circle of a ~20 houses i live on and a few other side streets off the main road do not. drove into work today and didn’t see a single utility truck in or around my town they’ve moved on

roads on sandbars are everywhere along the coast, its not that surprising. sometimes they get washed away, and rebuilt   this was a gif I saved from Michael wiping out the same kinda dealy. it was rebuilt pretty quick Demon Of The Fall fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Sep 30, 2022 |

Indecisive posted:I think it was before Irma 5 years ago (?), a shitton of power line workers from other states were sent to prep for the recovery after the storm.. did that not happen this time? Maybe it's just cuz I'm not getting as much news this time but I just don't see them working as fast this time. All I can really judge from is the slow updates on the OUC outage map.. but we didn't have all this flooding then either. I just wish I knew what was going on. Nah I passed shitloads of caravans of Asplundh line and tree trucks en route to Florida on I-26 on Tuesday. I haven't seen that many since Irma. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CjE3of4gT33/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

It seems that based on videos taken after the first eyewall but before the second, compared with the final aftermath, that the second eyewall hit was much worse. My parents have a house in that general area, roof survived based on initial reports. Big win was not a lot of storm surge - seems there was some relation between the time of being hit with the water all being sucked out of the bay that the surge was reduced at that particular point, otherwise the whole island would have been underwater. Lots of tree damage, roof damage. But compared with Ft Myers it's practically not worth mentioning.

Given the damage, a lot of places seem very OK despite Ian being 2 points off a Cat 5. Looks like some building standards have crept in.

We drank a bottle of watermelon wine and grilled up quesadilla burgers in the driveway tonight. Still no power, but got the generator hooked up to the well and got a shower in. All our debris is by the street, and hopefully we’ll have enough phone and internet during the day to get our insurance claim in. Tip one back for the poor bastards who didn’t leave Matlacha.

Here is a big map of imagery taken by NOAA after the hurricane, for anyone who might want to check on a specific area: https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/ian/index.html#17/26.74545/-82.26129. Covers Venice Beach down to Marco Island, including Port Charlotte, Ft Myers, Naples, etc.

Also got power back finally, slightly too late cuz my room was hot as hell last night, but at least it's back. Been driving around a bit today for work and seeing how high all the ponds n poo poo are, and there's still some street signals busted, but recovery is happening. There's tons of sand and debris around tho so hope we have some time before it rains again so the pipes don't get full of poo poo or whatever

neat looking back on this now and seeing how far off the projected track was even 3 days out from the west FL landfall, but technically the cone is still accurate in that the storm's actual path just barely lines up with the rightmost border of the cone
|

Oct 2, 2022 04:41

Yeah the path fits in that cone perfectly. That middle line is not the projected path. The entire cone is the possible track. Weather forecasters say this constantly but our lizard brains see the line and interpret to mean otherwise. It’s really a failure of graphic design.

ok, sorry, the "forecast" track not the "projected" track then. the literal name for the line is the "forecast track line" in the legend on their website.

Oct 2, 2022 05:07

Right, but the point is that line is not the forecasted track of the center of the storm at all. That’s the entire reason the cone gets bigger as the days go.

i understand what they mean. i am just saying that "the big line they draw down the middle of their cone that every looks at because it's meant to draw your attention was kinda far off this time". i'm not trying to nitpick about terminology. cone just barely good. line not so good.

you are misinterpreting what forecast means in this context, the product that forecast produces is a probability range of where the hurricane is likely to go, it at no point produces a specific forecasted track imo it's a downside to that style of graphic because a lot of people read it as you are the line is not meant to show you where it will go, it shows you the approximate progression of time. imo that style of chart works better when they do full width lines to represent likely progress by a given time Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Oct 2, 2022 |
