Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Hurricane Florence USA Atlantic

Post by frank lee bent »

The outer bands of the storm are onshore now- the core is on the gulf stream pretty much stalled in terms of forward motion. the media is hyping the shit out of it, but only cat 2 for now. night here now, when intensification often happens - may be a squib though. lots od words like "historic" being used. pretty nice doughnut storm at time of writing- so able to grow. climax is tonight. about 1.5 times the size of Cambodia.

an odd account from a journalist on the site of landfall on the side where the wind is blowing offshore is a kind of reverse storm surge where the ocean is being blown offshore from bays and estuaries resulting in a much lower sea level than normal.

Stay safe Frank.
Hopefully there is anyway lots of work for you so your trip don't go wasted.

cnn plays it out like its still the storm to beat all storms, where as nothing about Typhoon Mangkhut

‘Super typhoon’ far more powerful than Florence hurtling towards millions
A SUPER typhoon which has dwarfed Hurricane Florence is tearing towards its target with millions of people in its path.

https://www.news.com.au/technology/envi ... ddd0c07802
SUPER Typhoon Mangkhut slammed into the northern Philippines on Saturday with violent winds and torrential rains, as authorities warned millions in its path of potentially heavy destruction.

The massive storm, which forecasters have called the strongest typhoon this year, blew in windows, hurled debris and knocked out power lines when it made landfall on the island of Luzon in the pre-dawn darkness.
It packed powerful gusts of up to 255 kilometers per hour and sustained winds of 205 kilometers per hour while heading west across the disaster-prone archipelago towards China.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Pres. Trump on Twitter: Hurricane Florence was a enormous success, 10 out of 10 :beer3:
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life. :facepalm:
