Hopefully no hurricane parties are being thrown in Lake Charles. I think i remember them having hurricane parties for Camille

You say this and I had a sense of dread on my stomach. I can guarantee you there's one somewhere and I sure hope I'm wrong.

Please stay on topic for the storm, there is a banter thread located here: Banter

Yeah I might try to catch some of it after I finish studying for my first test tonight but it won't be a lot, and since it's going to be dark I'm not sure I'll see much.

Is that dude in his car while the storm surge is approaching? That's F-ing crazy.

Hot towers popping in the northern eyewall and CDO is becoming more symmetrical.

This is absolutely incredible. I remember watching on that day in October nearly 2 years ago as Michael just kept noticeably getting stronger just watching the satellite and radar and thinking that it was a once in a lifetime event. Now less than two years later it’s like watching the same thing.

That's flagged.

 

[NRVWX]

He's gonna a good blast of wind being 50+ feet off the ground. At least it will keep him above the surge.

 

[WeatherNC]

Anyway you slice it, this is becoming more common. Wish we were on the same trajectory for snow storms

 

[ajr]

That's flagged.

whoops, I misread the flag

Looks like there's never been 2 storms of 150+ in a 2 year span.

 

[Brick Tamland]

So this would be the third in the last 16 years.

That made landfall at that level.....plenty hit it before landfall.

 

[Henry2326]

So this would be the third in the last 16 years.

And 2 of the 3 were in the last 2 years.....that might should concern us....geez
