As predict swayman stays in the 8 -9 range
8 x 8.25.
He was never getting anything close to 10m

I'm not gonna win any protracted firefights with the Lord Humongus and his crew, but I have enough firepower to overmatch any cracked out looters. We live in a quiet anonymous suburb and I know that a couple of other houses on my street are preppers or military. There is a decent amount of firepower on this block. If we band together, this neighborhood will be safe.

The city proper will be pretty bad though. Downtown and the surrounding tourist and industrial districts are either right on the water or on low ground. A big chunk of the city is going to flood out, like the 9th Ward did during Katrina - people stranded on roofs, etc.

I also have a canoe and four kayaks, but hopefully I don't need those.

People can read their own personal politics into the data, but as someone with a front row seat to the action, it certainly feels like these storms are more frequent and more intense. I also don't recall as many storms spinning up in the Gulf of Mexico and then rapidly intensifying to cat 4 or 5 and making landfall a few days later. The big storms came off of Africa and took a couple of weeks to build strength and wander their way across the Atlantic into the Gulf. Localized spin-ups like this were a lot less frequent.

I think Gulf Coast residents need to consider that this might be the new normal and multiple major landfalls might be an annual tradition now. I'd be looking to sell and get out if I lived on the waterfront or close to it. It's not worth it. And man, insurance rates are going to explode after this. It's going to price a lot of people out, even if they want to stay they won't be able to afford it.

Sounds like you live in a 3rd world country

Not one word was mentioned about doomsday. A simple conversation about current real events and what one might do to improve their standing in such an event.

Give your head a good shake, you might be able to dislodge it from your ass, which may allow you to see what’s happening around you.


But all in all- “I’m just here to talk hockey”

Looks serious. Hope it doesn’t knock out cable. Maybe a buncha guns might help.

I do. Many of my fellow citizens aren't aware though, so keep your voice down.

I just got back from the store, grabbing a few last minute things before it gets crazy. People in Pinellas county (the beaches) are bordering on panic right now. They're still hauling 3-4 feet of sand and water damage out of their homes and businesses from Helene.

My attention will be divided for the next few days at minimum. I will keep following hockey as something to distract myself and I'll try not to prattle on endlessly about storm poop. If I go quiet(er), it's because the internet has gone down, although I'll still check in on my phone.

So, did Lily get waived or was that just horsepoop?

Lightning games will probably be postponed and the team facilities will shut down. Most of the facilities are either on the water or close to it. Although one of the practice facilities in Brandon should be fine from water (wind is another story).

Steeves > Kampf

He passed thru waivers ...Steeves is poop.

Kampf does a lot of good poop ...overpaid for sure, but does a lot of good poop. Assuming Reaves get a lot of nights off this year Kampf with Lorentz and Jarnkrok or Dewar could be a really good shutdown/energy 4th line.

poop

new blog everyone

Yet. Here’s the story out of Toronto tonight-
