Hurricane Season 2018

“What’re you buyin’?”

This caught my eye.

Rainfall totals could be staggering

Ryan Maue, a meteorologist at weathermodels.com, calculates that Florence is forecast to dump about 18 trillion gallons of rain in seven days over the Carolinas and Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland.

That doesn't quite measure up to the 25 trillion gallons Harvey dropped on Texas and Louisiana last year. Maue said Harvey stalled longer and stayed closer to the coast, which enabled it to keep sucking moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.

Still, 18 trillion gallons is as much water as there is in the entire Chesapeake Bay. It's enough to cover the entire state of Texas with nearly four inches of water. That much rain is 2.4 trillion cubic feet. It's enough to cover Manhattan with nearly 3,800 feet of water, more than twice as high as the island's tallest building.

North Carolina alone is forecast to get 9.6 trillion gallons, enough rain to cover the Tar Heel state in about 10 inches of water. Maue calculates that 34 million people will get at least 3 inches, with more than 5.7 million getting at least a foot and about 1.5 million getting 20 inches or more.

Not quite a Harvey like it said but that's still mind blowing.

[Outlaw]

I know it's terrible but always laugh at the, "boat jams" whenever there is a hurricane.

I know it's terrible but always laugh at the, "boat jams" whenever there is a hurricane.

my mind always jumps to "guess they got a free boat!" like if a boat gets dropped in your yard you get to keep it. for some reason i am amused by that thought.

Don't lose your boat in Old Man Bane's yard, you'll never get it back.

Manager told the news crew not to call the cops. Dude's there told them they needed to stop filming or they were gonna kill them. They heard a gunshot when they were scrambling back to the van.

We're still getting pummeled by rain. Flash flood warning until 8am tomorrow. Mandatory evacuations being issued in Fayetteville.

tbh this has been the heaviest rain we've seen since it first started.

Carolinas expected to get grazed tomorrow morning with a tropical storm.

Tropical Depression Michael is now Tropical Storm Michael, the latest projection has it making landfall along the Alabama coastline/Florida panhandle around midday Wednesday. It is projected to remain a TS or become a Cat 1 hurricane.
