Hoping for some statues in Charlottesville falling in the wind.
Parker Foster
Fuck you. Irma's ours.
Adam Mitchell
My dad's a meteorologist and is panicking because his tracks say it will strike georgia and head directly to atlanta (which is where we live) and will still be a cat 2-3 storm at that point.
can someone redpill me on how to prep for a hurricane? i've never gone through one before. never thought i'd have to plan for weeks without power or something.
i'm in a nice suburb of atlanta btw, so looting isn't a huge concern but i do have firearms.
Dominic Murphy
Another cleanse on sight.
Thanks Jesus.
Lucas Roberts
please destroy atlanta
Justin Johnson
Aaagghhhhhhh...
Cameron Anderson
Reminder that if you're in the path you're already dead.
Benjamin Jackson
It's not going to hit atlanta as a cat 3. Your dad is an idiot of a meteorologist if he's worried about that at this point. So much is gonna change in the next few days
Sebastian Bell
Hampton Roads/Virginia Beach area here. Should I be alarmed?
Jordan White
This is what an actual meteorologist would say.
Joseph Evans
Secure all outside objects. Bring inside if possible.
Elevate all inside objects off the ground. Before the hurricane, place all furniture on risers. Use cheap cans of food if you have to.
Buy hydrobarriers or sandbags. Have them filled and ready to place before doorways, garagedoors, places to divert the water away from you.
Board up all windows.
Gather up copies of all important documents. Birth certificates, passports, wills, deed to house, car title, insurance, bills with your address on them. Place in ziplock bag. Place that ziplock bag in another ziplock bag. Add to your go bag.
Have current photos of all members of your party with their contact info. Place in the important documents ziplock bag in your go bag.
Have bottled water, and/or a water drum/s. Hurricane water is too contaminated, do not trust a lifestraw or a sawyer to filter out chemical contamination. Boil all water (that did not come from a bottle) before use. Remember, 1 gallon per person, per day.
Make sure any battery packs are fully charged. Check all batteries in radios, flashlights, etc.
Fill vehicle with gas. Fill spare gas cans if you have them.
If the storm causes flooding in your area, kill your breaker before the water crosses your threshold (unless you are taking that Israeli's advice).
Place large tubs/bottles of water in the freezer, allow them to freeze into ice. If you lose power, move all your perishables to the freezer.

hes an amateur meterologist, not a professional. cut him some slack.
James Peterson
Looting usually isn't that bad in non-totally-destructive hurricanes because everywhere typically gets flooded. It's hard to rob in a boat.
You'll get flooded in, 'lectrcity might drop for a day or two. People usually just read books or get drunk until it comes back on.
Get some gas early because holy jesus those lines get stupid.
Board up windows or other means of wind getting into the house, if it does then it can blow your roof off.
Park cars close to the house, away from trees. Also trim overly large trees before the storm so they don't fall through your house.
Any other Houstonfags here tonight? My internet and TV just came back on. I really liked /HFG/, is this what it's become?
Brayden Bell
...cont.
Go bag list - 2 shirts, 3 underwear, 3 pairs socks, 1 bra (if applicable). 1 pair of pants (if there is room). Important document bag. Medicines that you commonly use, tylenol, midol, advil, asprin, meklazine, zyrtec, rolaids, pepto bismal, etc. Walkie talkies if traveling in a group and if cleared for civilian use (check your local outfitter store). Map of the area. Pen and paper (extremely useful for writing down numbers to call, directions, etc). First aid kit including bandaids, gauze, tweezers, scissors, needle, vet wrap (buy at a ranch store), ace bandage, antibiotic ointment, aloe vera, etc. If you use a mosquito repellant include that as well. $100 in cash, more if you can afford it.

If you have space include toothbrush, hairbrush, small container of toothpaste, small travel bottle of shampoo, conditioner, bar of soap, razor, etc.
Be sure to ziplock things that go together, like toiletries bag, medicine bag, documents bag, etc.
Place in your vehicle 5 gallons of water (minimum). Place in your vehicle shelf stable food and the means to open it. Deviled ham, canned tuna, canned chicken, canned fruit, etc. If you have a small camp stove/hibatchi grill include it and appropriate fuel. Note, you can cook over tea light candles if you are patient.
Place in your vehicle a sleeping bag, pillow, tarp, and mosquito net.
Include a tent if you have one.
If you have pets please remember their supplies.
Buy a pool float from Walmart. It is better than nothing.
If you are armed, obviously check everything is in good working condition and that you have a supply of ammo.
Good luck!
Ryan Sanders
>is this what it's become? Yeah, we became Atlantic Hurrican Season General,. since Irma was announced so close on the heels of Harvey. Glad you're alright, m8.

Models are still inaccurate as hell at this time. It won't be until tuesday/wednesday until things true-up.
Jayden Russell
That kind of attitude is why 1833 niggers got killed by katrina
Colton Walker
Can confirm. His dad just flew over my house
Owen Peterson
Well the dude's in Miami. It's amazing that there isn't anarchy in the streets as-is.
Julian Sullivan
Is this bitch gonna fuck up Charlotte or will it not reach that far inland
Isaiah Hall
Thanks Gents. Hope you guys are okay as well. Since I didn't have any electronic entertainment I've been helping people rip out sheetrock and wet insulation. Not fun, and I'm sore as hell. I have a body built for Sup Forums, not manual labor. Luckily I didn't flood.
Lincoln Hughes
American houses aren't made to wistand Hurricanes. Also unlike P.R. most city's and US states are flat and are prone to flooding.
Nathan Perry
Just looked you up, you're right up the road from me. Kingwood here, we got hit pretty damned hard.
Matthew Powell
Currently in Roanoke Rapids, NC. Start panicking now, or later?
Jaxon Campbell
you niggers have been prattling on about hurricanes for some time now, I caught some streams of the first one but what the fuck how many are there now? are they big ones? I want katrina v2 tbqh
Jaxson Howard
CAN SOMEBODY ANSWER ME?
Evan Reyes
>I have a body built for Sup Forums, not manual labor. So fucking true it hurts. Down 40 lbs since Jan. but fuck me it's slow going. I'm an 817 fag, so we didn't get shite but som rain and a bunch of panicky dipshits fighitng over gas like it was beyond thunderdome or some shit. I tis amazing how good helping can feel though. Being useful during a crisis.
Nolan Hall
niggers larping as waht?
Jordan White
We already had Katrina 2.0 with Harvey ya unobservant fuck
Luis Cruz
I bought a ccrane wind up radio with a solar panel the night the storm hit. It was delivered about two hours before the power came back on. Make sure you have a battery powered radio or something like that. The lack of information is the worst.
Angel Taylor
>implying you're not American Anyway, houses in Florida that were built after Andrew are all made of reinforced concrete with Spanish tile roofs.
Angel Lopez
Gee it's almost like we just had a horrible hurricane that affected over a million people. What's that? There's another one coming? Welp, I'm sure the already over-stressed emergency infrastructure will handle it just fine.
Lincoln Hughes
I'm not the kind of person to help my neighbors, I'm not really social. I spent the last four days? I don't know how long it's really been, just since last Tuesday helping people. It's a good feel desu.
Bentley Lopez
get a shortwave in the future user
Jacob Brown
what is this pic from user?
Jackson Bailey
My ccrane radio can charge my phone just by cranking a handle on the radio. Pretty nice. Take in to account that cell service will be shit after a disaster. After Ike we could only text for a week. Right now I can only get Edge level data on my phone. I need to buy a good scanner that can pick up a shit ton of frequencies and uses batteries.
Logan Scott
Right in muh feels m8. Also, I can't believe I fucking double posted and then double deleted. God dammit.
Zachary Sanchez
Do the hurricane hunters have a site for updates?
Around this time of year a tropical storm forms about every week and bets are placed on which will turn into major hurricanes.
Adrian Foster
Be aware for now. We are still 2-3 days from the track truing up. Chill out until it does. Unless you're wildly unprepared, then, start getting prepared. Just in case, m8.
Brayden Reed
Is it weird that I genuinely want it to hit me? Like i want an act of God to force me to fight for my life. I want to sit on my damaged roof, with my rifle and a warm beer watching for looters, surrounded in desctruction.
Dominic Gonzalez

Asher Lewis
I meant to take some pictures of some of the houses, you wouldn't believe it. I got a bunch of nasty cuts on my hands the first day so I was wearing waterproof bandaids, latex gloves, and then work gloves so I didn't get an infection. It didn't make it really practical to take pics on the phone. We went in to one house yesterday that had been locked up since the flood. It was an elderly couple that was out of town for their 50th wedding anniversary. I had to throw a bunch of their stuff away because it was soaked. I'll admit, it choked me up a bit while I was doing it. >The smell >The mud >The fish
Luke Bennett
Nah, I also crave chaos
Blake Powell
can probably still get some radio shack scanners on the cheap before they die completely. or just a basic uniden bc125at - non digital but gets it done.
Joseph Jackson
I get it but really I think that just means you need to get a hobby. Sounds like you're bored.
Owen Myers
Lieutenant Dan?
Levi Johnson
How come i had to reframe roofs for 6 months after Georges hit you fags in 98. I wonder if the blue FEMA tarps are still up in places
Carson Gray
I can't remember the brand but I had one that could tune video as well. I tore my closets up for a while trying to find it. It's non digital and gone afaik. I guess my point is that all FL, GA, SC, NC, and VA should make sure they have a radio that doesn't need to be plugged in.
Justin Campbell
You are not wrong. Since graduating college I've been bored as hell while searching for a job. All the hobbies I like require money I don't have
Jonathan Lee
Well, running a boat down the street to rescue people who have lost everything isn't really the best solution to your boredom. This week has changed me, it really has.
Eli Johnson
>how to prep for a hurricane? Sign up for flood insurance 20 days ago.
Dominic Stewart
>>The smell >>The mud >>The fish I've been there. formerly of South Carolina. Shit sucks. Feel really bad for that couple too. At least they both survived. Hopefully their family is in a position to help them rebuild what they've lost.
Jaxon Robinson
I think the entire coast should be on look out but from NC down to Florida prepare for the worst
Adam Carter
They don't get home until next week. We are trying to get it to the stage where the fans are going and it needs to be rebuilt stage before they get home. Just hopping from house to house at this point. Never met them, probably never will.
Justin Lopez
prepper here, get water and canned food if its not to late. Walmart has really nice 7 gallon water juggs for cheap
Isaiah Brown
Can anyone give me a quick run down on Irma? Will it btfo Houston again for a double whammy? Will we finally get tid of Florida once and for good?
Lincoln Lopez
You in Texas?
Adrian Edwards

Yes, if your read up the thread I just got my TV and Internet back tonight. Power came back on yesterday.

Adrian Rivera
Back then there used to be slightly more houses made of wood. Now most if not all are made entirely of concrete, rock, bricks and metal rods.
Sebastian Reyes
That's kind of how I feel. I've worked in about 8 houses this week. I knew 3 of them. My friend's wife was in tears the other night, that was hard. I can't imagine having to go through that in all of them.
You'll reconsider a hell of a lot of stuff in life.
Benjamin Cook
I know too many people from around here that moved to florida, I don't understand the appeal.
David Allen
I would check a topographic map of your area. Look for levees and see if you're in a flood-prone area that will get 10 feet of fucking water if shit goes bad. If so, get the fuck out. Don't even bother trying to stock up since you'll end up abandoning your goods when the water comes.
If you think you'll be good though, then by all means, stock up on food, water, baby wipes and things like that. Fill your tub up with water so you can flush your toilet in case the power goes out and you lose water pressure. A nice spare battery or solar-powered charger to charge your phone would be cool, too. Also top off your gas tank and maybe fill a gas can up. Then get comfy.
Adam Wright
same here, follow her on the gram
Jaxson Carter
Everyone here should fill up. Houston and Beaumont are not refining gas right now, and won't be for a few weeks. Think about that.
Ayden Robinson
Good weather and Cheap.
Luis Bell
Holy shit! Coast guard now recruiting through Cajun Navy, asking all boats available to enter Port Arthur for body recovery. Must be mentally prepared to see some shit. Hazmat suits provided.
Leo Young
Don't be a retard. I was doing Cajun Navy shit a few days ago.
Hunter Sullivan
Oh boy. I wonder if it will hit cat5
Carson Martinez
No. I like it when the power goes off. I have an excuse to light candles and use my camping stove. Obviously I do want the power to come back on though.
I forget what the exact quote was and who said it, but basically if you put humans in a utopia, they would be so bored they would destroy it just so something interesting would happen. By historical standards, most of us live in a near utopia.
Gabriel Anderson
>I was doing Cajun Navy shit a few days ago. What's your point?
Jaxon Evans
I guess I don't have one. Sorry to waste your time.
Jacob Ortiz

Josiah Bell
Nah, miamifag here. I miss the '05 season, shit was lit. I want a good one to hit.
Grayson Ramirez
irma will strike with the force of a pachyderma praise kek
Chase Adams
i have 350 dollars on irma at cat 5 in the carolinas and cat 4 by Ny.
anybody want to place bets?
Carson Lee
where do you go to place bets? I'd do that shit.
Camden Lopez
Hurricanes damn near die the day they hit the coast line. There's no way for Irma to be 5 at the Carolinas and 4 at NY, unless it hits NC/SC, goes back into the ocean and travels straight north without a second landfall before NY.
Zachary Gutierrez
goddammit, they just updated it and it looks like it is more off the coast.
FUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKK
Jackson Wood
Odds are favorable, if it can avoid sizable land masses.
