What an absolute hero.

The prediction markets are much much better for gambling consumers than your traditional sportsbook so of course these ghouls are out to take them down.

Yeah it went a mile and a half upstream into the other channel. No one ever expected that I’m sure. Their only hope was if they could somehow climb up far and fast.

We’re ending up with a good old-fashioned ghoul-off between owners of casinos versus prediction markets

Ya I have no illusions that the owners of the prediction markets aren’t probably equally problematic but your average square gambler is so much better off betting at -102 on average than -110.

Great news if you’re a member of Congress, though as everyone in Congress is going to get paid by both sides

Yeah this is some bullshit. Hot and wet. That’s nice if you’re with a lady, but it ain’t no good if you’re in LA.

What are we looking at? If this is Karina, it’s not coming anywhere near California. You’ll be getting the brush as it goes west.

Also, I don’t think 70mph winds will produce catastrophic impacts. There will probably be tons of beach erosion, but I don’t think any communities are going to get leveled (unless Cali building codes are complete crap).

its the one behind Karina

which is impossible to predict this far out

and the graphic is from my Surfline wave forecasting app

I’m guessing this is related to Iselle which fizzled as a tropical storm a few days ago. I can’t find any future storm track if it’s planning to reorganize.

Ok that makes more sense and think I saw that lineup last week.

Should this have pissed me off as much as it did?

Our building codes are all based on keeping things up when the ground shakes, not when strong winds come through, dammit.

When was the last time a hurricane hit northern California?

Oof. Still, I don’t think the winds should be a problem unless they are significantly stronger. Hurricane Andrew caused Florida to make changes to its building codes to make sure roofs were secured to the frame, but it was a Cat 5 when it made landfall in Homestead.

Yall getting excited about a week plus out model?

Hurricane rookies itt

This far out no but this season there have been a lot of eastern pacific hurricanes already and it’s been hot and humid so everyone is on alert for when this is gonna end here combined with El Niño talk and this type of weather never happening ever in anyone’s lives in California has people interested.

Also just personally I check the surf forecast every day and Surfline will show these weeks out and they disappear just as quick and I mean I know everyone has to forecast the weather but I do need to know when the winds and waves arrive for this stuff as soon as possible.

There have already been a bunch of waves from these storms this summer so at least everyone I know has been talking about it.
