actually with the way this is gonna be a massive rain event, it's reminding me almost of Harvey a bit. Which was around this time, because it's my son's bday in a few days, and my wife had just given birth when harvey made landfall. The hospital we were in was the first stop for evacuees from the coast, so there were women going into labor in the halls and shit. Horrible experience. Would not do again.
Irene beat my first sailboat against a piling and lifted a portion of the deck from the hull. Fuck that whore hurricane.
Well well well... Ohio doesn't seem that bad after all, now does it? Seriously though, be safe up there. My sister-in-law is up in that area and both her and her husband are morons, so I fully expect them to have the worst possible experience during this whole thing.
Yeah... it does.... lol I'm quite enjoying living in SW Ontario right now... none of the insane forest fires going on in BC, no offshore weather like you guys are getting... just the occasional t-storm, some hail, and a tornado or 2.
I’ve got my bottom 5 as California, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Ohio. top 5 would be Texas, Colorado, Alaska, Michigan, Maine. You?
Our area of Upstate NY just got anywhere from 3-6 inches of rain the past couple days with massive flooding and damage extending down into Northern PA. We don’t need another drop of rain for a while. But I’ve a feeling we’re in for a soaking.
It is the most visually unpleasant state in your country that I have been to, which is forty states in total (I think). I have not been to Connecticut, I hear it’s the Slime De La Slime.
I don’t know why I’m not seeing more comparisons to Harvey, which happened 4 years ago at this time. Henri is gonna be a massive water and flooding event. It’s the easy headline.
There aren't many low lying places in the northeast where this is going to really cause some devastating flooding like there is on the gulf coast. There will be some flooding, but for the majority, this will be a quick rain storm, maybe some localized flooding in low lying areas and some damage to houses directly on the shorelines.
Sandy was a big deal because of the wind damage in an area that really wasn't prepared to handle it, and a little flooding in the NYC subway tunnels. The northeast is probably the best prepared part of the country for high precipitation. Harvey was an anomaly in that it just refused to fuck off and leave.
Yes, the wind damage was really widespread. But there was far more than “a little flooding “ in NYC, swathes of towns on Long Island were devastated, and many places on the NJ coast were severely affected by flooding. https://images.app.goo.gl/8QzqUFujRe3KD9yg9
