#186632 — OT: Hurricane

There is only one thing worse than a *CAT 5* hurricane headed towards
Florida.
Another one behind it.

And there is only one thing worse than 2 powerful hurricanes headed
towards Florida.
If you're still there.

All of the above is happening to me.
Those of the prayer inclined nature might try a little of it.

I'll be offline for awhile.

BTW: This is the first time since 2004 or 2005 that Florida's panhandle
has been hit, so no, it's not time to have a global warming "I told you
so party" on the mailing list.

Thanks,
David

I'm in a V-Zone NW of Tampa, where Irma's center is predicted to be around
daybreak on Monday. I too will likely be offline for an extended period before
too much longer.

Irma's a CAT 3 storm currently (north of Cuba), and if it tracks
through Central Florida as predicted, it will loose strength rapidly --
hurricanes need to feed off heat and moisture from warm oceans to
maintain themselves -- probably only being a Tropical Storm by the
time it gets to northern Florida. If it tracks into the Gulf of Mexico
instead, different story.  If it veers east and follows the Gulf
Stream, few worries for the Florida Panhandle

> Another one behind it.

Looks like Jose is going to meander and loose strength east of the
Bahamss.  No worries for FL.

Been through a few hurricanes and tropical storms myself, but the
most frightening are Severe Thunderstorms with Funnels Clouds
(tornados) sighted.  I've seen it rain so hard that visibility was
about 20 feet!  Beyond that distance, it was just a grey mass.

FYI (also for all the global warming, we caused it and it's going
to destroy the planet Chicken Littles out there): the Earth has been
warming steadily since the end of the last glaciation began some 27,000
years ago.  It's not something that just occurred during former
President Obama's administration. Humanity didn't cause it. We
contribute to it, yes, but so does every bovine who farts in the
pasture, and every volcano eruption, and every plant, and every insect,
and every forest or plains fire, and every swamp, and every creature in
the sea, and the sea itself, etc. But the driving force of climate is
the Sun. A fractional energy change one way or the other has major
effects of earthly climate more than all the other contributory factors
combined. Climate is never static. It's ALWAYS in flux, always
changing. But that change occurs so slowly that no one lives long
enough to "see" it.  A few bad storms over a few years doesn't make
climate.

You're welcome.  Stay safe.

yes
Stay Safe
you could study the warming in the Middle Ages
you could study the cool times in the Middle Ages in Europe too.
key words: Iceland Greenland.
Iceland was discovered and given name in the cold period.
Greenland in the warm period.
Nowadays greenland is covered with ice.
Iceland is green,
Stay safe.

Plant food generation has increased our survival time from millennia
to billenia.  Plants need plant food.  All life needs warmth.
Greenhouse gives us both, and CO2 levels are no longer critically
low, which is excellent for all life on Earth.  Thankfully, ending
the "industrial revolution" (burning stuff) won't reverse the
situation.  Life is on track for a while yet now...

I hope you don't live near the shore! Global warming at the present rate 
is a function of human interference, and if you don't believe that, just 
keep burning your coal and if you live
long enough, you will prove it yourself

While the storm is centered on the west side of Florida, my family in 
the west side is with my family on the east side and they are cozy, my 
thoughts are with you all and hope for not to much damage.

And that's a Cat5e hurricane?

Nah, that's old standard for hurricanes. Cat6e hurricane though, or
venerable SPF+ hurricane - that's the worst.
