There are various threads about hurricanes, but I thought it would be helpful to have a thread dedicated to various climate and weather events and commentary.
 
Here is a twitternthread about the California wildfire season, and how dire the predictions about it:
 
That Hurricane powered up to category 4 over night, that's scary.
 
dunno why people seem to be surprised at it intensifying so much. the Gulf is warmer than normal and these storms always blow up. the original landfall calls were as possibly a cat 1.
 
Yeah, this hurricane looks devastating. Less than 36 hours ago it was expected to hit at Cat 1. Now looks to flirt with Cat 5 before landfall.
 
According to CBS Trump has received one briefing from FEMA... yesterday. Leadership.

Of course. He has more important things to do, like planning his next golfing trip and basking in the adulation of his worshippers at the RNC. If a hurricane devastates the Gulf Coast, he'll get to it later. If they're lucky, gulf coast residents who lose everything because of this storm might be graced with Dear Leader's presence throwing bottles of water at them.

You mean he briefed FEMA. He has a knack for these things. People are amazed about how much he knows about weather. People are saying he knows more than the people that study this stuff.
 
You don't want to be in Cameron LA right about now.

150 people decided to stay in Cameron Parish to ride out the storm. The sheriff told them all to write down their names, social, and next of kin on a piece of paper and put it in a ziplock bag in their pocket. Yikes.
 
Fortunately, the tide is pretty low at landfall.

That will help some.
 
I have some friends that stayed in Houston. The last hurricane that hit them their house flooded quite bad(they live on a lake/pond). it took them 6 months to fix.

RE: mydeaonmyhand comment about what the sheriff said, yikes!

Not the first time that has happened. Sometimes it is the Sheriff's Deputy who takes down address, name(s) of all people staying. Next of kin not in house. Name of preferred undertaker if body is located.
