Man that desolate no mans land between Louisiana and Texas sure seems to get squared up a bunch.
We did it again:
0/6 on being in the cone this year. Fucking hell.

Yea this is what happened with Katrina. It was a weakening Cat 3 when it made landfall but because it was a Cat 5 monster in the Gulf, the surge was like 30 feet or something insane like that.
Hope you can fade #7 too.
I just assume hurricanes aren’t real at this point, easier thay way.
“We wouldn’t have so many hurricanes without all of that Doctor Radar. He must be a friend of Fauci.”
In the middle of the eyewall right now. Power on, wine flowing. If we make it another half hour or so we should be totally fine on that front, not too worried about wind or rain damage since it’s moving really fast.

Was just about to pop this thread open and @ you to see how you’re doing. CNN is showing Harrah’s and there’s no apparent flooding so that’s good.
For all the grief Harry Shearer has given the Army Corps of Engineers over the years since Katrina, maybe they figured the levies out after all.
It’s basically done, this was a fraction of something like Katrina and the protection is much, much better since then. Some downed trees and power is out in a lot of places, but that’s expected. We’re fine.

Glad to hear it!
While we’re all (justifiably) paying attention to the election, apparently there’s a Hurricane Eta out there that is about to absolutely obliterate northeastern Nicaragua today and tomorrow.
We have at least 1 expat user in the area.
Then it makes a hard turn toward Cuba before maybe tracking up to Florida? Eta is wild.
Un god damn believable a week after the season ends we are still sweating another one
Anyway this thing can just sideswipe Mar-a-lago and head out to sea?
Read this today on german news site: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/11/11/hurricanes-weaken-slowly-landfall/
Cliff: Hurricanes seem to weeken far slower over land than in the past. The moisture they take on over the warming oceans acts like a fuel for hurricanes. And they take on more and more of it.

Eta is still a thing?
And now there’s a Theta, which officially breaks the record for most storms in year.
