Santa Claus

lol this absolute colossal dipshit is walking his dogs in the middle of this eyewall, i genuinely do not understand what goes through people's heads. he is going to die out there. meanwhile the guy streaming is on the phone with someone saying he's recording gusts up to 200 mph. which, idk maybe that seems high to be but whatever. the spirit is there. 200 mph gusts, gonna go walk my dogs. edit: idk what i'm thinking, there's no way these are 200 mph gusts lmao

if it makes you feel any better, the success of this camera guarantees someone will do this again for the next Cat4/5. probably put it up a bit higher on the pole. that thing was going to last all day if the ocean didn't get to it.

how the f is this cell phone sending live video from Atlantis and i can't even make a call with AT&T in central Jersey standing in the middle of an open field

7' above the ground, and Grand Isle is 7' above sea level

yeah i don't think i've ever seen footage like this, this thing is in an EF3 washing machine and it's still transmitting. i still see the shape of the house in the background. but for the most part the camera is solidly in the drink.

things in Grand Isle are about to go into 5th gear

Grand Isle itself is 7' above sea level, so i guess 14'. though right now the sea level is rising quickly. actually it's pretty hard to see much of anything with all the spray and waves. the house in the background is still standing but i'm just kind of watching to see if it outlasts the camera. really can't believe anyone would choose not to evacuate with these conditions coming but i say that every big storm

starting to see much more and larger debris on the Grand Isle cam i think i read on YouTube the camera is at 7 feet feed briefly glitched, wonder how much more time its got

the good news is if the storm destroys one Waffle House there’s still four more within a five mile radius.

the TC is its own environment though isn't it. i mean, it's the TC's moisture, and any forcing due to adjacent air masses, to get your rain totals. even if there's an mT airmass overhead ahead of the TC, wouldn't its moisture pale in comparison to the TC itself? what i'm saying is, as this thing crosses, is it going to drop a huge band of 4"+? i'm definitely not saying that can't happen but that's pretty crazy for a TC that's not stuck in some weird flow regime that just gets stuck over here. the rain map definitely shows it coming in and out in a pretty smooth fashion. i think extratropical storms tend to move faster than modeled.

i feel like the spirit is correct but this will end up overdone--a corridor of 3-inch rains as wide as Jersey is long? one of the more aggressive post-tropical cyclone forecasts i've seen up here especially for something landfalling so far away.

you know, if anyone on this board was a train guy, i would've guessed you, uncle. maybe bluewave too my favorite part of Stelton is the railroad crossing with three lights within maybe an eighth of a mile of each other. i'm not gonna bore everyone but there's like fifty things f'd up about that area, there's an abrupt left turn-only lane that screws up everyone, borderline suicidal traffic patterns, and to top it all off there's that Raceway gas station that's sitting 30 feet from a yield sign everyone ignores. it's completely bonkers how many shitty elements of traffic design are in one place. love you bb <3 forky can only play himself, this is known

i mean it's not bad for 3 AM i can definitely give you that and total total lack of flow. it's the old, 30% iso storms, and where they land they flood. i bet someone somewhere in this GIF has 15 inches this month

ehhh

i would like to clarify some "facts" the MSM left wing liberal lamestream bleedia has been circulating about me in recent weeks first and foremost--i really do live in Piscataway, the world's worst place. there are ten traffic lights within 50 feet of my door and they are always red. secondly, i have been infected by zika virus at least 5 times due to the mosquito pools that build in this endless suburban wasteland of 76F dew points and strange people that are physically incapable of waving hello to you when you pass them by thirdly, help fourthly, i hate it here fifthly, i hate it here sixthly, i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here eighthly, my favorite weather is whatever it will kill me so i don't have to live in Piscataway anymore

92/73/101 very little steering flow, if anything pops up somebody could flood

i don't know if i'll make it til then

a lot of building air systems are barely designed to handle the kind of dews we have been seeing the last few years. among the billion things I do at my job, i review air handler specifications before i buy them, and 80F is basically the upper limit of the cooling coils we spec. maybe there's some sensitive areas with even more robust design requirements but i haven't seen it. this is for 100% outside air laboratory air handlers. no recycling. the office air handlers recycle air and so are design to mix, say, 50/50 recycled air and outside air. last year due to COVID we went to a 100% outside air protocol for ALL air handlers, even for office areas that were simply not designed to do that. rain in the building became a problem where moist air condensed on the cold surfaces of air diffusers and started to drip. we looked like assholes to the users but it wasn't our fault. as global warming continues its long march to the sea, we are going to spend more and more energy just trying to fend it off--another feedback loop of doom. edit: i know that had little to do with your post but i spent all day sweating to death and, you know, i'm not looking forward to more of it.

so i was doing some reading and learned Hurricane Sally cost $7.3 billion and was the most expensive storm not to be retired. kind of funny that Henri is going to be one of the rainiest events ever for NYC and very likely isn't going to be retired, unless it unleashes some serious flood disasters tomorrow as it pivots.

yes. this is a great forum and as usual everyone in the thread is doing a great job. i appreciate all of the opinions and reports on local conditions.

our* way unless you're on vacation somewhere lol p.s. Rjay i saw that weenie and i must say how dare you

for a man whose avatar is showing his ass, you are keeping your boldest predictions under cover

would anyone like to give me their forecast for CNJ? we've had some rain that's not extraordinary but it does look like the firehose is shifting WSW into my backyard in Middlesex. i'm asking you guys because i respect your knowledge and opinion but also the models are clearly struggling, so your nowcasts would be appreciated.

everyone should put bedbug interceptor coasters under their furniture legs and a bedbug sealant on their mattress and boxspring. i will not take questions
