Weird weather

[Tinwhistler]

Forget the weather! We can’t go outside now because of MURDER HORNETS*!

(*may not be, in fact, murder hornets, but instead normal hornets who seem to be inordinately aggressive.)

I know a lot of the hornets around my place are inordinately pissy lately. I chalked it up to the heat.

 

[GasBandit]

Murder-CAPABLE hornets vs just Murder-wishful-thinking hornets.

@Terrik , @Ravenpoe , there's a disturbance in the Gulf that looks like it could be problematic for the big bend area in a few days.

You don't say?

 

[evilmike]

You don't say?

Well... yeah. I never know how closely y'all watch the storms this far out.

The hurricane center hasn't posted an official track yet, but the computer models are suggesting it's going to move N or NNE. It's probably going to be a fast moving storm that also rapidly intensifies.

 

[GasBandit]

Also I don't know if Terrik even monitors the forum any more, but he moved away from Florida when he graduated Dental school. I think he's in PA now.

6:30 and it is 83 degrees 90+ heat index. it is still dark outside.

Today's the first break we've had in the weather in a week. Kerri and I planned on going to a water park. I know it's still going to be in the low-mid 80's but now it feels too cold to go!

 

[Sparhawk]

I took our Luna pup to the dog park for the first time in two months this morning. The overnight temp finally got into the low 80s.

Yeah, I knew he was out of state -- I thought he might still have family in the area of concern.

You don't say?

So, you good?

 

[Ravenpoe]

So, you good?

Not my first hurricane

 

[Dave]

Not my first hurricane

As long as it's not your last.

 

[Ravenpoe]

As long as it's not your last.

If that's what it takes to finally sink Florida into the ocean, I'd take that hit.

 

[Sparhawk]

Finally a forecast that isn’t all 100°f+ high temps. Today is only expected to get into the mid 80s, and the next week to only be in the 90s steadily climbing during that week. Finally got some rain for the first time since May last night and a new all-time high temp for the date, 109°f.

Went to bed last night to clear sky so I opened my window.

Woke up coughing and hacking with VISIBLE smoke in my room.

Fucking Silent Hill here this morning.

 

[Frank]

It's getting worse. The draw distance is N64 levels now and it's straight hazardous to go out there.

That does look like some Turok.

Welp, looks like Hurricane Lee MIGHT be cutting right through my neck of the woods. It might not, of course. It might downgrade to a tropical storm by the time it hits us. It might pivot and miss us entirely. But right now, it's not looking good.

Well, fuck.

I don't believe any maps until there's a big sharpie curve written on top.

I believe scientists refer to that as the Covfefe Curve.

US National Hurricane Center's prediction for Lee from this morning:

 

[Sparhawk]

I think most of Texas is done with triple digit temperatures for the season. We’ve finally had 3 days in a row with rain but still under drought conditions and outdoor burn bans because the surface may be damp, but brush/trees and leaves are still super dry.

Good thing the weather changed on a Friday

 

[Dirona]

Storm day!
20% of the province is without power.
So far, we're still on.

 

[HCGLNS]

Lost at 9 am, back at at 1:30.

Storm yet to make landfall.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Lost power for about half an hour. It's back on, but I don't expect it to last.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

I'm not the only one who sees it, right?
