Hurricane Irma

Except it isn't?

Well if global warming is going to increase the amount of storms then we need to start building something than can harness the energy...it cant be that difficult...there is 1000 of hydrogen bombs worth of energy there..
What we need is a battery the size of a cruise liner.

According to the prof who was just on Sky News, GW does not increase amount of storms just the intensity. The warmer seas adding power to the cyclonic forces. He also stated that we will not know if GW was a factor in this storm for about a year as it takes that long to analyse and interpret the data.

Yeah well I was using ironic poetic licence...cos doomsters always say it does..even though...as yet..there is no proof.

 

[Raven]

Proof of what? Climate change? ofc the climate changes, always has, always will. It would be pretty frightening if it didn't change.

What proof do you need exactly?

 

[Job]

Proof that it causes more storms ...the more heat bigger storm is basic physics really unless some unknown factor is interfering.

You just answered your own question, you absolute spanner.

How does the ocean affect hurricanes?

 

[Job]

reread my posts slowly

 

[Raven]

With your English skills, we have no choice but to read them slowly.

 

[Job]

I write them slowly so you can keep up.

 

[Raven]

How would the speed at which you type affect how quickly someone reads it?

 

[Job]

Now you've broken the joke 4th wall.

It'll blow out to a 3 and miss Florida...

Looks like I nailed it.

 

[Raven]

If you had guessed correctly then yes. Unfortunately you haven't.

You haven't seen the gun they have built.

Funnily enough was in Daytona in 1990..the staff said a hurricane was brushing the coast and everyone should stay inside...so we got shitfaced and sat in the outside Jacuzzis watching the wind and rain..it was hilarious how unconcerned we where by large bits of the hotel furniture going flying past.
The next morning every deck chair was in the pool.
Got a photo somewhere...not of the deckchairs...of the girls getting their tits out in the daily wet t shirt competition...Daytona spring break ftw.

What "Get the fuck out" looks like in real life.

Who the fucks flying that plane just below the centre of the storm.

Above the storm, most large aircraft are certified to 45k ft ? Still turbulent though.

I've flown in a 747 at the edge of a hurricane before, from Columbus to Chicago years ago. I have rarely seen so much puke in one place. None of it mine. *edit* Just looked it up, it was called Hurricane Opal and was a Category 3, so nothing like is bad as Irma (I remember when it was because it was the week of the OJ Simpson trial verdict).

Live feeds gone down..tbh I think they turn the power off.

 

[Scouse]

Or the power's been taken out, or the cams have been destroyed.

You seem to have some weird obsession with belittling the severity, impact and devestation this huge storm has wrecked upon millions of people in loads of countries. You're so weird.

 

[CorNokZ]

Government has asked 5.6 million people to evacuate. That's the population of Denmark

What's amazing about the US is that the affected communities will rebuild their houses on the same plots, to the same design, waiting to be blown down again a few decades from now. A country as wealthy as the US should have no problem helping those communities rebuild their homes with concrete, rather than timber. They could have timber cladding too, to retain the look.

The same thing happened in New Orleans.

Hurricane Irma has strengthened to a category four storm as it nears Florida

Thwarted by your own ignorance once again.
