I hope he’s ok. He posted a lot but wasn’t mean.

Whenever the next legitimate snow threat happens is going to cause major issues because your average person will say “Oh that last storm was nothing” “the weather professionals were all wrong!” Is going to be out and about.

Key here is normie, and honestly, they’re not wrong. (I know we can argue semantics, but if you promise me steak and give me hamburger, well…)

It’s got to be a real experience living in one of these supertalls. The Brooklyn Tower is having the same issues as 432 Park. Very loud noises and more sway than the residents were told about before they bought or rented.

Plus this year set the record for days with wind gusts over 40 mph by a wide margin behind all these storms racing through the Great Lakes like what we are going to see a repeat of again the next few days.

Is this the same tower that didn’t put brakes in the garage chute, so that garbage bags tossed from 100 stories high would hit a velocity that made it sound explosive when it hit the basement?

Yeah, numerous issues related to the swaying in the stronger winds.

There’s also a tower in San Francisco that is leaning. Just some whoopsies.

Subsidence and sea level rise are leading to the new Miami skyscrapers slowly sinking also.

I get motion sickness in some of the taller buildings. I worked for a week in WTC 4 a few years ago and went home every day feeling like I was on a boat. Also had a sobering moment in a cocktail bar on the 60th floor of a building when I went to look out the window and noticed the shades swaying side to side.

Miami makes sense because it’s limestone combined with salt water and air; Manhattan surprises me because of the bedrock.

Then again, I’m not a structural engineer, I’m just an old man yelling at the clouds.

It’s a good reminder, too, that no matter how smart we are (and we are), the wind is going to do what it wants at those heights.

My friend lived in the West End of Long Beach for many years. It was a 2nd floor add on to an original one floor beach bungalow. The construction used lally columns which allowed the apartment to sway when wind gusts started getting over 30-40 mph. So you could visibly see the hanging light fixture from the ceiling swaying from side to side. The cat would stare at this a meow especially during nor’easters.
