It won't be around much longer. It's nearly submerged now

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

So where is this John Humphress camera that is seemingly underwater now located. Was it in a car? telephone pole? Its amazong that its still sending data.
I figured they parked a car and left a cam inside. Not sure though
This dude is going to be fucked in about an hour.
Yeah, in the one i just posted above, Jocko Williams, he is sitting in the car announcing.
Pretty damn good forcast on this one-

We're going to need a sound bite in the aftermath. "Joe Biden doesn't care about unvaccinated people"
Showtime in 30-45 minutes when the eye wall comes right on top of him. Wonder where this guy is parked ... under what kind of shelter?
Yea the past 36 hours for this thing has been nuts.
Found this of Katrina for reference. Hard to compare directly because you don’t know what kind of scale they were using, but interesting either way
So did it start getting stronger than people expected? I don’t keep up with any current events
also, your pick in the draft if you ain’t seen that yet
That’s both incredibly cool and horrifying
They expected it to strengthen some after it got beyond Cuba, just not like this.
This thing is a bitch.

My in laws are in BR. They live off Highland. I wonder if they will be fine. I know my FIL had a built in generator put in the house after the last flood

Fake. It ain't that big.
Smaller cyclones directly outside of the main cyclone, typically worse than the eye wall itself.

Production and delivery will be halted. It will go up on the SE.
Fuck me. Hauled ass across Tennessee today in a 45ft RV to get on the back side of the storm. In west Memphis AR and it’s rainy like a fat cow pissing on a flat rock. Looks like I am ground zero for the TD.

It appears to have made just enough eastern turn that it missed me. No power out and not enough rain to even mention, not bad since I'm only 35 miles from the center of the storm. The counter clockwise rotation might give some showers overnight but I think this thing will soften up by tomorrow. 13 years ago I had 90 mile an hour gust and it lasted about 4 hours, the next month is when the bad one centered on Galveston and Houston and lessened the population of Galveston not to mention the land mass. Galveston has been losing about 2 inches per year of land mass for decades. The only reason that last causeway bridge was built was to evacuate the island due to a boom in population. I watched the Belgium GP this morning starting at 7am and it rained so hard there the GP was ran for 4 laps behind the safety car then called with qualifying laps the winning positions. So we aren't the only ones with bad weather in August.
