I'm just here to beat animeposter to first post.

BASED

BROWNSVILLE REPORTING IN

Power flicked a little but hoping I can last all day and tomorrow without many other power issues.

The storm missed me by a hair lol. Minor winds and it isn't even raining at the moment, gray skies.

And the next data burst is up, 946.6 lowest pressure, and 2 100kt wind flags with another pair of 95kt wind flags right next to them.

He's getting stronger

STATUS REPORT FROM CORPUS CHRISTI:

Currently some showers, roads are beginning to get very slick

Stay safe Texbros

Fucking finally. One thread was up last night then it was gone. This is some serious shit. Worst since Katrina. People will be under 30+ inches of rain. Some locally 40 INCHES. AND its a major hurricane that will literally STALL on the fucking coast for about 3-4 days.

Sub 950. Fuck this is serious. Be safe Texas and pretty much if your int he path leave. There will be extreme conditions for days so emergency personnel will not be at full capability.

comfy thread

All right.
Who /comfy/ here?

This, numerals don't lie.

Here in Corpus, out on the Island and Flour Bluff it'll be easily Katrina tier. Areas more inland will not be as bad, but flooding will still be a major issue

How will trump handle this if it's catastrophic? Think he will drop the ball like Bush?

Remind me if I'm wrong, but those are flight level pressure readings and those numbers are fed into some fancy maths machine to spit out a surface level estimate?

Florida and just got off. Popped a xanax, got my beer and just hit a bowl. There is nothing more comfy than tracking this shit. Feels guilty though I hope everyone GETS THE FUCK OUT.

Bruh, remember those floods from last year? Remember how Trump was out helping people while Onigger and Shillary were at Martha's vineyard?
Trumps got this shit

Thousands of deaths.

Annaville homie here. Shits wack, y'all. Stay safe.

Yes. All presidents drop the ball when it comes to this shit.

They are. The fact that the flight level readings on each pass through the core have dropped means its gaining strength. The 2 100kt windflags are a sign of that fact.

Comfy Houston fag here.

TAKE MY ENERGY

Thanks senpai, I really do gotta get some sleep though, as I've been up all night spazzing out on this fucker. These weather events do give me a mind boner like no other not gonna lie. I'll definitely be here for the main event though. Thank God I don't have work the next 3 days.

u riding it out? You could be without power/utilities for two or more weeks. Id be prepared bro. This thing is literally gonna hit and stop for a couple days. Worst case scenario besides a major cane making hit on Miami then reemerges and hits Nola.

Inland Corpus here, couldn't be more comfy

Looks like I may actually make it out of Houston, Lads. Just light rain, listening to LiveATC.net and the tower is report no turbulence just rain.

Time to go on watch, Texasbros. Steady as she goes.

>Remember how Trump was out helping people
He landed, created a fuckload of traffic for the many flood victems and family members driving in to help rip apart rotting houses, loaded boxes into a truck for 15 minutes for a photoshoot, then left. Real 'helpful'.

>following the Harvey Sup Forums general on one screen
>watching it on the Weather Channel on another screen
>found some new fantastic Futa Scat Doujins on exhentai on the third screen
>lightly raining outside

I didn't know it was possible to be this comfy

Live in Cape Canaveral, came pretty close to disaster, pic related

>niggers run away from Louisiana to Houston
>same niggers now get flooded in their new shithole

946 MB. Harvey is literally trying to take the top spot from Katrina. Wont happen though, that was such a shit show and think people are more prepared nowadays.

Absolutely riding this one out. I have a back up generator and food for at least 6 months to a year

A little tracking update for the /comfy/ ones.

Cautiously optimistic
This event will most likely define his presidency (first 4 years at least), and will largely decide if I vote for him again or not.

i feel you

Chances of a strong cat 4 lads?

Mathew was so damn over hyped

HAARP does it again

Good. I hope it destroys all the niggers and spics in houston

>Be in the Woodlands with barely any food and water

Comfy atm, but will I be ok anons? this shit gonna siege on for 5+ days. I ain't worried about winds or nothing, just the flooding, especially to my low to the ground nissan in an apartment parking lot.

10-4. Sounds like you know what your doing. God Speed.

Hah, my homie here posted up in the Ville. I got boarded up and took off from Annaville this morning. Don't break into my house you fuck.

Who here south Houston?

That storm goes 20 miles to the west and I'd be homeless along countless others.
40 miles west and we would still be talking about Matthew today.

Yeah literally just missed. Inland felt nothing but the beaches got a decent punch. Inland for me the winds got a little rough and it was def the highest Ive felt in Jax. 2004 was rough but we werent in any of the centers of the "Big 4" that year.

You will be fine. Your car is fucked though.

...

>Category 2
Its fucking nothing. Come back when its a category 3 or 4.

t., Mississippian.

Are texans experiences in dealing with huricanes? Do they also have dams holding water that can overflow like it happenes in New O?

East Texas user here all y'all riding this shit out stay safe. Don't want to lose any TXanons to this.

comfy af in FL. Stay safe my texas people.

I fear that no matter what happens, it will end up bringing a shitload more niggers to Houston.

...

That's funny. There's always at least one autistic fuck who does something stupid and ends up in a bodybag.

She move her body like a CYCLONE.
she make me wanna do it all NIGHT LONG

Galveston here. On the seventh floor of a concrete condominium building, with waterproof speakers on my patio. I'm blasting "Die Flut" by Joachim Witt and Peter Hepner on repeat, and the niggers down below might not get it.

youtube.com/watch?v=_IRRL_2I1eU

He gonna have a lot of agua

A 3 or 4 is literally what it's expected to become

The only thing Houston deserves is a nuclear holocaust. Fuck each and every one of you stupid gulf coast trash niggers. Dallas is good though.

new radar

Bush did a decent job. Obama and his administration was just lucky they didn't get hit with a major one. They had a hard enough time with minor ones like Sandy.

I'm betting that it's gonna go on to Austin

Am I the only one who thinks FL is far better equipped to handle even the most major of hurricanes than the next three states combined?

...

Anything west of Baton Rouge in Louisiana is pretty well equipped too. That's why you heard no bitching when Rita and Ike hit.

It flooded most of eastern NC with rain.

Ya wish I had means to help but I sold my truck and just have my VW now. Oh well I hope the ones trying to stay safe are okay. The dumb ones though? Their own fault.

that IR satellite you tard

Fuck you, it's my job to help the sad fucks.

>tfw First Responder

Florida, NC, and Texas seem to handle Hurricanes well. They only have issues of flooding or when you have a Andrew category storm hit.

better fucking not
I just drove from Houston to Austin

Fuuuuuck. Should I go park my car at my parents place north of conroe?

I'm an EMT-B going to school for my medic at the moment. If I could i'd come give you a hand. Gotta help the Texanbros.

SCRAMBLES THE DEATH DEALER

FLOOD HOUSTON AND GIVE THE BLACKS THEIR FINAL SWIM TEST

KEK WILLS IT

Park your car on higher ground (unless you want to get a new car of the same value, as they will total a flooded car) and get some canned goods and a can opener and enjoy yourself.

Galleria degenerate here. My sinful homosexual lifestyle is going to magnetize it here, my bad guys.

I'm a hazmat and bio hazard specialist. It's so fucked up to see my [German] boss wringing his hands with a Jew smile

Nearly perfect double eye-wall feature

...

this fucking sucks. Yesterday it was a raging fucker at cat 3 climbing its way up to cat 4. Now U wake up at the fucker is at cat 2. Should've known it would crap out.

>tfw no hurricanes in bulgaria

>hazmat and bio hazard specialist
Oh shit you gunna be busy my man!

Naaahhh senpai, its still developing. At the current moment it's a category two and expected to become a 3 or 4

Yup. The boss is practically praying that the refineries go tits up. We'll have work for fucking months.

>United
You'd be safer staying

Looking good on the visible too now that the sun is up

The winds aren't what will cause the catastrophic damage though. This could be a cat 1 and still be just as bad

This. Typical "look like I'm helping while really not" crap.

Looks like 3 walls

I'm a stone's throw from Oklahoma, just north of Dallas. Am I gonna even see a single fucking cloud overhead from this, or can I ignore it like I do every single other hurricane?

Give it to me straight, how fucked is my hometown Corpus?

Hurricane fun fact:
Hurricanes with female names kill more people because people take them less seriously than ones with male names.

>trump tweets "huge storm, evac now" or something similar
>CNN, being CNN will oppose trump as always, and tell people to stay
>Harvey fucking drowns the entire coast
>100s of people die
>CNN ruined

TRIGGERED

I'm gonna need to pack more body bags in the corpse carrier. Damn you CNN!

Any loops yet?

Hopefully it's still convecting like a mad man

that is indeed fun

Well at least the name will be appropriate.

Good for the work. You'll have to slog through that nasty shit though. I'v ruined multiple pair of FR and steel toes walking through that shit when I was a NACE inspector.
