2018-09-12 at 3:04 PM UTCThe bulk of the damage and the danger actually comes from the resulting rain torrents, when the hurricane settles in and broods overhead, not from the force of the storm itself. Most communities are not designed to drain off that much water that fast.

2018-09-13 at 10:52 AM UTCWell, this storm really died down. With all the technology today, how can they not predict more accurate facts. The NHC says, it’s not even going to be a hurricane when it hits lands.
The weather channel is so dramatic. It cracks me up. Although; I love me some Jim Cantore. :) -
2018-09-13 at 11:01 AM UTCthey cant even predick a storm 5 days in advance and yet somehow they have the audacity to brazenly declare they could predick global climates 50-500 years into the future.
and say its going to be warm.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-09-13 at 12:52 PM UTCI hope eBigger is OK. His grannys got everything strapped to the top of the Chevy Equinox and she's headed inland.

They should fucking murder every single meteorologist. What a bunch of overzealous, worthless cocksuckers. -

Sure, it happens. But the majority of hurricanes are nowhere near what people make them out to be. Like I said, the majority of the damage usually comes in the form of unmanageable and unrelenting rainfall. -

2018-09-25 at 8:33 PM UTCI just survived a category F3 tornado over the weekend. 230 mph wind. Trees as thick as five feet across ripped clean through at the base like matchsticks, roofs torn completely off, bus shelters crushed in, street signs bent over to the ground, 50 foot trees completely uprooted and crashed through houses and streets, clothes and shoes and pants and furniture littered across a path a half a kilometer wide, telephone poles broken in half like twigs, cars and trucks overturned in the streets. I was laying down when it arrived, and I was sure it was a 747 plane flying extremely low and possibly about to smash into my house. Sounded exactly like a 747's engines standing up close to them. Power was out for over 50 hours.

Aww 50 hours poor Speccy
Try 192 hours
You'd cry yourself to sleep, while hugging your modem tightly 😥
Did your house get damaged? -

BULLSHIT on your 230 mph winds!
Category 1: Winds range from 74 to 95 mph and can be expected to produce some minor damage to property. Injuries to people and animals are generally isolated and limited to flying or falling debris. During a Category 1 storm, protected glass windows generally remain intact. Some roof damage to frame homes, apartments, and shopping centers can also occur, as well as short-term power outages due to snapped power lines and downed trees.
Category 2: Winds range from 96 to 110 mph and can be expected to produce extensive property damage. Greater wind velocities mean that debris poses a greater threat to humans and animals, while the roofing, siding, and glass windows (protected and unprotected) of frame homes are more vulnerable to damage. In a Category 2 storm, significant structural damage to apartment buildings, mobile homes, and shopping centers is also expected, as well as flooding in low-lying areas. Extensive power outages ranging from a few days to a few weeks are common, and residents are encouraged to stock up on potable water as filtration systems also fail during this time.
Category 3: Winds ranging from 111 to 130 mph cause significant damage to property, humans, and animals. Mobile and poorly constructed frame homes are often destroyed, and even well-built frame homes commonly sustain major damage. Significant damage to apartments and shopping centers (even those made of wood or steel) can be expected. Category 3 storms can also cause extensive inland flooding. Electricity and water are commonly unavailable for several days to several weeks after the storm, therefore it’s important for residents to have their own stores of canned food and water.
Category 4: Winds range from 131 to 155 mph and can cause catastrophic damage to property, humans, and animals. Severe structural damage to frame homes, apartments, and shopping centers should be expected. Category 4 hurricanes often include long-term power outages and water shortages lasting from a few weeks to a few months, so again, it’s important for any remaining residents to have a significant nonperishable food and water supply at hand.
Category 5: Winds at or greater than 155 mph cause catastrophic damage to property, humans, and animals (read: you should be nowhere near this storm!). Complete or almost-complete destruction of mobile homes, frame homes, apartments, and shopping centers should be expected, and nearly all trees in the area will be snapped or uprooted. Power outages can last for weeks and possibly months. Long-term water shortages should be expected as well, and most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months. -

That dumbass was looking at the hurricane rating system.
You never answered my question speccy poo.
and you'd never last without power as long as me. -

Tornado just missed me by about 500 yards. No damage to my home, but just half a block away, total destruction. Yeah, losing power for extended periods suck.
