Need another cat 5 to take all of the trash to sea

Problem is how does a Cat 5 hit Oklahoma, but bypass God's people in Texas?

Hopefully through Louisiana and Arkansas.

Lol this reminds me of a girl who posted on a local car board i used to frequent back when Katrina made landfall

"I was talking about katrina with my boyfriend and his parents..we were wondering if Katrina made its way up the Mississippi and into Minnesota...is this something we need to plan for?"

[Clackles 276]

SIAP, but if current models hold true, we may be getting on-scene reports from Frankie in a Cat 1 hurricane.  Hopefully Frankie will be along shortly to allay my concerns.

We walked right through there after landing 527 years ago. Unbelievable!

Hurricane maps were awful back then.

[UTexasFight 9511]

Cyclones!!!

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Stupid question alert.


So the other day when it was category 5...channels were saying its the strongest storm on earth.

What kinda storm was going to be stronger on this planet if it wasnt a cat 5 hurricane?


Or was that just a info piece to hype up the storm if it made US landfall?

Okay, that's his ex wife's jeep

[Bama Chick 28596]

So this sounds bad.

[gecko 1104]

I'm going with "fake".  How could those power lines still be up and the trees aren't stripped clean?

[crash_davis 23114]

food is too expensive for bahamians to be that fat.  i too am going with fake.

My $50 Johnny rockets for 2 in Nassau agrees with this

[tbone_ 14132]

Idk man, I can accomplish that at the mall.

[Sbbruin 21864]

Bummer.  A guy just posted this pic of his Catalina 36 in the Bahamas on our Catalina 36 FB group page.  

 

[Dewey 3286]

With the right insurance,  that'll buff right out. Spent many days and nights in the GOM on a boat that Ike parked on the causeway, never had a problem.

Getting pretty big blasts right now, but not a lot sustained. Lost power an hour ago. 

[NowThis 931]

where will the million tons of debris go? Where are the bulldozers and flatbeds to pick it up?

all are pickup trucks, trees are healthy, no debris, and those look like postal carts.  It's probably Arkansas.

still losing power sucks, but at least your weather is cool for post storm clean-up

Yeah, that post Harvey cleanup absolutely sucked.  BlastFurnace turnt all the way up, no power, no wind, no clean water, and the wretched stench of rotten.  Miserable  

[Loco 3753]

clean up is WAY worse than the actual storm

Speaking of which, this is the major insurance companies today:



Especially after seeing the horrors in the Bahamas, they've got to be ecstatic that Dorian's path kept it from probably being the most expensive U.S. single natural disaster ever.  Which it certainly was on the cusp of being.

Don't look now, another one right behind it.  Invest 94L will need to be watched.  Taking a lower track , which is not good.

Yes, Humberto-to-be is gonna get nasty.  No question.  The other one, meh.  Not gonna do much.  Correction, anything.

The Bahamas landscape carnage looks more like Hiroshima than your average category-insane hurricane carnage. The death toll will no doubt skyrocket.

[El Diablo 4232]

So is Florida still there or is more work going to be needed?

[Loco 3753]

Things not looking good.  The Bahamas won't recover from this storm for a LONG LONG time.

[Dewey 3286]

Maybe it's too early to call bullshit, but if we go another week and the death toll is still low, call it. 

News crew walked around a small area for 45 minutes and counted 6 dead.

Hurricane Dorian: Bahamas lists 2,500 people as missing

Bahamas emergency services have listed 2,500 people as missing after Hurricane Dorian struck the islands last week.

This official count suggests the death toll will be much higher than the current 50, though the number of missing has yet to be checked against those in shelters and should fall.

Tens of thousands of people remain in need of aid.

Dorian equalled the highest winds ever recorded for a hurricane at landfall when it struck the Abaco Islands.

Large areas were devastated on the Abacos and on Grand Bahama.

• Hurricane Dorian: Path of destruction
• Who is helping the survivors? 
• In pictures: How Dorian devastated the Bahamas 

The list was announced by Carl Smith, a spokesman for the country's National Emergency Management Agency (Nema).

"At this point there are approximately 2,500 on the Bahamian government register," Mr Smith said at a press conference.

"This list has not yet been checked against government records of who is staying in shelters or who have been evacuated," he said.

The number is likely to fall as the cross-checking is carried out.

Sorry to cut in on the ongoing tragedy with Bahaman citizens and their plight, but is the depression heading for Florida something to monitor or is Texas ok? Got some working travel plans next week but I don't want to get in the way if people need to leave the Gulf area and will reschedule if necessary.
