Single hurricane thread

[neoplacebo]

It's getting pretty cold here at night lately. And dark. It's all the fault of that goddamn David Wilcox bastard. I wish I could get my hands around his throat; he'd wish for a single hurricane and that he never heard of hardware. I've started a movement against the treacherous fucker. He's doomed.

Once the big box stores took over he moved to eastern TN and is working in IT. His song, Kingsport Software, was a flop.

No worry. I will ferret him out and berate him savagely for his lame ass hardware scam. The ripple effect of it is bad enough. shit

AERIAL images of Philippines typhoon devastation

Typhoon Rai

Typhoon Rai, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Odette, was a powerful and catastrophic tropical cyclone that struck the Philippines. Rai became the first Category 5-equivalent super typhoon to develop in the month of December since Nock-ten in 2016, and the third Category 5 super typhoon recorded in the South China Sea, following Pamela in 1954 and Rammasun in 2014. The twenty-second tropical storm, the ninth typhoon, and the fifth super typhoon of the 2021 Pacific typhoon season ... While approaching the Philippines, Rai unexpectedly rapidly intensified into a Category 5 super typhoon just before its first landfall across Siargao. It then slowly but steadily weakened as it traversed the Visayas, exiting into the Sulu Sea.

... Downed trees obstructed many roadways, and flooding was a major problem across the affected regions, particularly Bohol, where the storm was described as "one of the worst for the province". Rivers also overflowed across Cagayan de Oro, while numerous buildings sustained damages. Surigao City was reported to be completely damaged, and appealed for aid. Bohol also pleaded for help to the government due to the damages Rai brought to the area. A state of calamity has been placed in the province and Cebu. So far, 392 people have died, a large portion of which were from the severely affected island of Bohol. Damages at the aforementioned location were projected to be worth ₱5 billion ($100 million), with those in Siargao being estimated to be worth ₱20 billion ($401 million) and those in Negros Occidental being estimated to be worth ₱5.9 billion ($118 million). According to the United Nations, 13 million people are expected to be affected in the Philippines. At least 515 are injured, with 56 missing. Many public and private facilities were also harmed as a result of the storm.

I've spent time on Negros.

Help Us': After Typhoon Rai, Miles of Destruction and the Smell of Death

Climate change will bring more hurricanes to New York, other midlatitude cities, study finds

... Most of the world’s major cities are located in midlatitude regions, meaning that the more widespread hurricanes will have the ability to cause far more damage.

In a press release from Yale University, the article’s lead author, Joshua Studholme, a physicist in Yale’s Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, noted that hurricanes in the 21st century will appear in a wider range of latitudes than they have for the last 3 million years. “This represents an important, under-estimated risk of climate change,” he said....

Areas in the increasingly at-risk regions have already begun to see some hurricanes make landfall. In 2020, Subtropical Storm Alpha made landfall in Portugal, the first time a subtropical or tropical cyclone had ever hit the Western European nation....

“Some of the most populous seaside cities in the world — think New York, Tokyo, Shanghai and so forth — are not deep in the tropics,” Emanuel noted. “They’re a little bit further away. They always have had hurricanes, but very rarely. If they start getting more hurricanes, and if they’re stronger, and if they’re pushing water on top of an already elevated sea level, that’s going to be trouble for them.”

Average global temperatures have risen 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 Fahrenheit) in the last 150 years, which is faster than at any other time in recorded history. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the extent to which the Earth warms further in the next 80 years could vary by several degrees, depending on how much greenhouse gases that cause warming are emitted....

Crap.

So much for trying to inject something positive about your locale. Don't worry, won't happen again. Your cuckiness assures that.

Holy shit.

Holy shit.

Poor PR . Cat 4 Fiona will still be a Cat 2 when it smacks Nova Scotia tomorrow morning, a Cat 1 when it hits Quebec and Labrador. Labrador!

Holy shit.

Then, Tropical Depression Nine will become Hermine and MIGHT hit Tampa as a Cat 2 after rocking Havana.

Quiet August and first half of September is no more.

Fiona will now be a Cat 3 when it smacks Nova Scotia tomorrow morning. It's already the strongest hurricane this far north ever. It has shifted a bit east, sparing the populous Halifax, but Newfoundland will now be more impacted.

Still early, but it's now looking like Hermine MIGHT hit Tampa as a Cat 3.

Will a woke United States National Hurricane Center eventually create a third category for nonbinary names?

I thought they did with "Hermine".

Naw, that will be "Huhmine" or "Hmm-mine". billy.pilgrim will just have to wait to get fish slapped by a nonbinary, nttawwt.

Keeps moving west.

[Vrede too]

Keeps moving west.

Yep, Tropical Storm Ian rather than Hermine. Up to a Cat 4 , but in theory just a Cat 1 when it strikes in billy.pilgrim's hood. That's the American model. The European model says Tampa gets smacked by a Cat 3.

Meanwhile, Super Typhoon Noru stomped the Philippines last night, passing just north of Manila. Millions in the path, next up Vietnam.

They keep straightening the turn to the east. It looks to me like somewhere between Panama City and the Ala Miss line.
Dann, that would be about Pensacola.
