Interesting question whether these people help or hurt, and what their existence says about the failures of governments in america. We are broke - we can't afford to prepare proper; we are broken. Too expensive to get the contractors in place beforehand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mob1 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Flooding could also be very bad for areas who have feeder bands training over them all night. Slidell LA for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another perspective is that they are amateur disaster vigilantes who are putting themselves in harms way by LARPing as first responders. Even if some of them are organized the popularization of them is going to encourage their version of Midwestern storm chaser to go try rescuing someone… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If verified it would top hurricane Andrew’s 142 mph. It should be noted though that this measurement occurred before the worst of Andrew’s eyewall passed over Fowey rocks. Nevertheless epic storm Ida was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an Aussie cyclone where the WMO verified like 250mph gusts…total freak show. Gustav had a big one too. I wonder what the elevation of these winds were…that could make apples to apples comparisons hard. On a ship it could be dozens of meters ASL.

Volunteers who put themselves at risk to save others is common outside of big cities. Depending on only Govt in a disaster...... Laplace wind shift will force Lake P back out but may be bad news for N Shore communities. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is water intrusion from an unknown source. I dont want this to be a Katrina scenario. But damn if it isnt eerily similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
