Hilary's about to Blow California

[jaF0]

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM MDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Hilary was located
near latitude 15.5 North, longitude 107.8 West. Hilary is moving
toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h), and this general
motion is expected to continue through tonight. A turn toward the
northwest is expected Friday morning, followed by a turn toward the
north-northwest and north on Saturday. On the forecast track, the
center of Hilary will approach the Baja California peninsula over
the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 85 mph (140 km/h)
with higher gusts. Rapid strengthening is forecast during the next
day or so, and Hilary could become a major hurricane later today.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 275
miles (445 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).




Said to be the first TS to affect mainland CA in twenty years or more

Lyrics
Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three-ring
Circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any fucking time, any fucking day
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay
Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your Prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car
It's a
Bullshit three-ring
Circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any fucking time, any fucking day
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay
Some say a comet will fall from the sky
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits
And some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit
One great big festering neon distraction
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
'Cause Mom's gonna fix it all soon
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be

Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim

Fuck L. Ron Hubbard and
Fuck all his clones
Fuck all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes

Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim

Fuck retro anything
Fuck your tattoos
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memories

Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim

Yeah, fuck smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas
Fuck these dysfunctional
Insecure actresses

Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim

'Cause I'm praying for rain
I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down
Mom, please flush it all away
I wanna see it go right in and down
I wanna watch it go right in
Watch you flush it all away
Yeah, time to bring it down again
Yeah, don't just call me pessimist
Try and read between the lines
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend
I wanna see it come down
Put it down
Suck it down
Flush it down

Hurricane Hilary Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP092023
900 AM MDT Thu Aug 17 2023

Hilary has continued to intensify rapidly. The cloud pattern of
this large hurricane is very impressive, with extremely intense
deep convection

---------------------------

Hilary is in an environment of low shear and high mid- to low-level
humidity, and over very warm waters. The SHIPS rapid
intensification (RI) indices show extremely high probabilities of
rapid intensification during the next day or so. Therefore the
official intensity forecast shows a 40-kt increase over the next 24
hours. Later in the forecast period, cooler waters and land
interaction should result in some weakening. The official wind
speed forecast is near or a little above the latest HCCA guidance.
The surface circulation is likely to be dissipated by day 5, but a
day 5 forecast point (as a remnant low) is still provided to
maintain a forecast track over southern California.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. Heavy rainfall associated with Hilary may produce areas of flash
flooding and result in landslides over portions of Baja California
Peninsula from late Friday into late Sunday. Rainfall impacts from
Hilary within the Southwestern United States are expected to peak
this weekend into Monday. Flash, urban, and arroyo flooding, is
possible with the potential for significant impacts.

I am missing the political reference. Maybe our resident mod will explain why this thread belongs here?

 

[Rightguide]

You might want to edit the title.

You might want to edit the title.

Did you think this thread might be about Hillary Clinton having oral sex in California? That might at least make it a political thread.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

The good news is the storm will be roped off and kept away from crowds and definitely won’t hit Wisconsin.

 

[Chernosoth]

Some parts of California need plenty of rain to wash the sidewalks.

Well if you picked up after your dog, that might help.

don't know if he can be arsed to reply but i will:

Discuss worldwide political and social issues, and share your opinions and views on current events!

^board description. As created by the site owners. It's the reason why so much that counts as 'current events' gets posted here and garners replies it would have got on the GB and is why the GB is awash with threads belonging to the Playground, the Fetish or Personal forums.

the hurricane is, most definitely a 'current event' and it was clear that the use of the name Hilary (despite it not being the actual female name but male) and blowing was intended as just a wee bit amusing

the hurricane and its effects are NOT amusing, but lighten up, Francis

Some of the nation's most expensive real estate gets the most asskicking.

Some of the nation's most expensive real estate gets the most asskicking.

Well that's often because they are in places that have a lots of issues. Malibu is basically built on a cliff or parts of it anyway. When the rains kick up a best case scenario is a few mudslides that don't do crap. But I'd be shocked if, and I forget the name of it, that freeway that always gets a mudslide that takes days to fix. Like If I lived there I'd already be on the phone with my boss saying "Yo, don't look for me. I'm not coming."

Especially how he originally spelled it.

The point is butters...he bitches when others do it. That is all I am doing...pointing out the hypocrisy he complains about. I stand behind my statement from before...you really should rethink your posting behavior. Your need to correct others when you are not smart enough to realize the bigger picture only diminishes what others see about you.

Just got back from the supermarket. Stocked up on paper products and canned goods in case the power goes out. The supermarket workers say they're expecting a rush tomorrow.

 

[Chernosoth]

If any Californians here happen to be outside in bikinis or similar clothes when the rain falls, we will need pics to verify.

 

[HisArpy]

Typical weather forecaster overhyping a rainstorm. And all you dick suckers believe it.

It rains in SoCal around Labor Day. It almost always rains in SoCal around Labor Day.

Why?

Because that's when the hurricanes move up off the equator on their way out into the pacific toward Hawaii.

Some years it's more rain than others but it rains nearly every year around Labor Day in SoCal. This isn't climate change. It's not the result of el nino. It's NORMAL. The storm will be long gone by Tuesday and the sun will come out again. Just like it always does.

And yet some people think they need to stock up on toilet paper...

WTF are you talking about?

There's plenty of carbon falling where I am...

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

I just started to hear the first patter of raindrops on the window. What I’m worried about is one power pole a few blocks away from me. It was damaged by a car a few months ago, taking out the power for the whole neighborhood. I’m worried the temp repair DWP did to get the lights back on won’t hold up to high winds.

 

[Pad_Foot]

STAY SAFE BSG!!
