chakoo Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 28 minutes ago, CitizenVectron said: I can't WAIT until hurricanes somehow get turned into a partisan issue (as all things slowly are in the US). This will be a sure-thing if Florida somehow became a blue state. In 10-15 years I expect the GOP position to be "listen, if people want aid or help, maybe they shouldn't live where there is weather. America was built on individual responsibility, and people have to take that responsibility for existing where wind is." What do you mean wait, see how Puerto Rico was treated vs others for the same storm. If PR was full of white republican voters it would have been vastly different.

And using the fake 92 billion number which Trump supporters fall for and making them think somehow Democrats there stole it because a liberal mayor for a town exists even though it was a conservative governor that ousted for being corrupt.

The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 That said, we could see the pressure rise as it is over the Bahamas. Don't expect this to weaken considerably; this will still be a Cat 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Again, Dorian's power leveling off/coming down means this is going from a catastrophic Cat 5 to a "not as catastrophic" Cat 5. It's still a trend I hope to see, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The storms continues to slow down. The turn north will happen soon. I hope it begins soon enough that we can avoid a Florida landfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The HWRF model, which is a non-global model specifically used for hurricanes, was very good showing rapid intensification for this storm. It is now showing the pressure gradually increasing over the next day. Again, this thing will remain a powerful Cat 5 storm, but this potentially could mean the storm has hit its ceiling in terms of wind speed. I'll take whatever weakening I can get, you know?

SaysWho? Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Pressure's up to 915. Good. We're finally seeing its strength trend the opposite direction. It'll be a low trend the opposite way, but at least it's not intensifying further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time out. I don't know what you're reading, but there was no expected turn north in terms of "This is the moment it's turning." The expectation has always been -- as we're currently seeing with its 1 mph movement -- that its steering currents would collapse and it would shift north. The question has been when, which is why north Florida has been in the cone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinSolo Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 NWS had to issue a correction to the idiots warnings about the hurricane, cause uhhh its not going to hit Alabama. The Bahamas are basically just fucked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 From the satellite, this is clearly drifting north currently. Whether it bumps south again remains to be seen. I'm hoping this trend continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
