IDK if I would take that guys word at face value. Which you are, since despite putting something in quotes, he still doesn't attribute it to anything lol. He also thinks that the COVID vaccine will maim you, according to some of his other tweets. 

But please, do tell us why we should care. In your own words, and not just pasting a xweet

Clearly you’re not familiar with pimphand’s work in the Covid thread if you don’t see why he’d view this guy as a kindred spirit.

It's actually really interesting stuff, I've read some on it, and while a good bit of it is over my head, basically we are fortunate.  Yes, we get major solar generated geo storms, and yes, they'd be a problem.  However, the particle/proton side of it isn't enough to cause any long-term significant damage.  Scientists have done work on understanding this by examining ice cores in Greenland and Antarctica. 

In 80s there was a study done that initially indicated that particle energy and damage was detected, which has since been debunked.  Conspiracy theorists, as they do, latched on to the study that indicates a coming apocalypse, while ignoring the fact that it's been debunked.  The one in 1800s isn't the largest they've found and dated, the largest was about 8,000 years ago (from my memory, so maybe off a bit), and even that, while large, wouldn't have been big enough for long term damage. 

However, we do know this does happen in other systems, and one of the major theories because of the nature of binary star systems and gravitational wobbles (this is where we seem to be fortunate).  Our system is just big enough to be as it is, and just small enough to avoid enough mass from collecting at Jupiter to form a secondary star.  All of that part is theoretical but very interesting.  

That said, it's also not without precedent for technology to be lost to history after the destruction of a civilization, however the circumstances now make that seem unlikely.  There was a civilization in Africa (I believe Ethiopia, but again, from memory) that actually had the modern equivalent of sanitary sewers and pluming about 5 thousand years ago.  They used clay pipes, which we did as well prior to plastics.  Historians/Archealogists aren't clear on what happened to them, but that technology was lost for a long time.  So it can happen, but nowadays, it seems pretty unlikely given the amount of written information out there that something like this could happen.  

Yeah, well what about the lost technology from Atlantis, which is what’s creating these hurricanes from the bottom of the ocean? What about that, sheeple? - Pimphand

 

god, I woke up thinking we’d see reports of damage and storm surge and some details emerging and instead we have pimphand and stanco smearing their galaxy brains all over the fucking thread. Fuck me. Actually, fuck all us, but mostly fuck all of you guys.

Any credible reports of actual storm surge?  It feels like maybe it wasn't as bad as expected, which would be a tiny shred of good news.

Answering my own question -- looks like max storm surge was ~ 5.5 ft, so far less than expected.  The rainfall totals are insane, though, including over 18 inches in St. Petersburg.

Tampa-St Pete pretty lucky. CNN having a hard time finding real stories. Under 2M without power less than 12 hours later in an area with population over 3M.

I think CNN will soon show a reporter standing by a pool  with some knocked over lawn chairs. One on now is standing on a road that looks better and has less debris than west campus streets after a good weekend. Reporting on 18 water rescues across the state. I have seen parts of Miami flood during an afternoon rain in summer. Water does not have a lot of downhill in Florida.

Yeah, I know it is bad for a lot of people. They will move or rebuild. And fuck the Tampa Bay rays and their stadium.

Heading in to read the first batch of state reports. They come out usually in batches right before a talking head goes live on a press conference. If I see anything of impact will drop it in here unless we have another species ending event in the meantime.

Case in point on Talking head. One is saying Folks, Tornados are dangerous. No shit asshole.

anyone thinking they can ride out this monster is an idiot 

Fat ugly florida woman on CNN did just fine. There will be a lot like her and others will believe. But honey, my girth means the hurricane cannot fly me away and you and the youngins just cling on to my belly fat and we can float all the way to Disney. Heck, just ride the wave and we can get in free.

i have to be honest...i am a little bit surprised that pimphand's appearance on here has not yet shifted to space lasers controlled by "them" generating hurricanes targeting different populations. shouldn't be too much longer though.

You guys overlooked the bolded part of my post.

I thought Volcanoes would lower earth's temperature. Please double-check.

They do, but this one erupted underwater and didn’t put ash crystals into the atmosphere. I’m not propagating conspiracy theories, but highlighting the difference.

That was the claim made on CNN this morning.  Another location (Fort Myers?) got 14 ft.

18 inches is nothing for rain lol

Harvey dropped 50 inches of Rain of Houston in 4 days. The Memorial Day floods in Houston were widely less than 10 inches of rain, but Meyerland was basically entirely washed out. But yeah, 18 inches of rain in less than a day isn't anything. 

What is it like, being the closest thing anyone has ever seen to a Helobious? Like what does it feel like?

Guy I work with waters every day because he thinks its only fair since he lives by himself. "The family of 5 next door uses just as much water showering every day."

It was more than a day and we got 60 inches of rain during 3 days of harvey, not 50

 

acting like 18 inches of rain in florida over almost 2 days is some sort of big deal is funny tho

Posted (edited)

It was almost 14.5 in one day in some places

And it was 60 if you live in Nederland. You don’t have to exaggerate an event from 7 years ago
