I have only read that it might become a "hurricane," and even then I haven't read anything that suggests that it will be a high category hurricane.  Am I mistaken?

Yeah. I was watching the news a minute ago and KNLA's meteorologist Daniel Thomas said this:

It is the first real TS/Hurricane in a long team so the media has go make everyone think they are going to die even though it will probably just rain a bit.

it could be high cat 2 or even 3 when it makes landfall. gulf waters are very warm. katrina was a cat 5 coming in but was a cat 3 when it made landfall.

Of course it's newsworthy...it's also absurd.

For the record, I won't be watching a minute of the RINO convention...and I don't care if the state-run media shows it at all.

They WILL try to paint barry as a holy weather warrior who saved the blacks from the worst storm ever recorded in human history...

How about a report, bad person?
Title: Hurricane Isaac thread
Post by: SkinnyBenny on August 29, 2012, 01:27:20 AM
Report: we watched Pineapple Express for a while and then the power went out  Then I did the only thing you really can do during a 3-day storm: stepped up the pak'ing and started getting even more pak'd. My friends and I went outside and I brought my acoustic guitar and we had a Pak'd sing-along outside in the carport in pouring rain/crazy wind. Did we play CCR's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" You bet your sweet ass we did. Did we do some Ben Kweller and some Pixies and some Flaming Lips and some Garth Brooks and some Syrp 'N' Teen and some Refreshments? As it turns out....yes.

And it sounded great. GREAT.

Okay, I think I'm turning off my cell phone to conserve batteries. No telling how long this power outage is going to last. (If I can't stream the wild wild duplex cats against the SWMS Ding-Dongs then I am gonna be fukkin' :curse: ). See you clownz in a few days. There's your update, bad person.

 Oh also, earlier I walked down a deserted street with the wind howling and the rain pouring from a slate sky...and I listened to"Paranoid Android" on my headphones. It was the most pure and eerie and beautiful and horrible experience this side of walking around MHK in the rain, crying about lost love.

"Rain down", indeed. well playef, Thhhhom.

Tropical storm :jerk:
Title: Hurricane Isaac thread
Post by: SkinnyBenny on August 30, 2012, 01:17:25 PM
Hurricane Isaac (now Tropical Storm Isaac :jerk: ) has now gone from New Orleans, but it keeps raining lightly but steadily. Overall, a pretty weak hurricane comparatively but enough of a piece of crap to knock out everyone's power for at least a couple days...which means I'm probably going to miss The Old Ball Coach getting Franklin'd tonight!  :curse:  Thank God for Tapatalk allowing me to BBS, though. :cool:

The thing that made this different from other 'canes is that it moved SO. GODDAMN. SLOW. Srsly. It was moving, like, six miles per hour there for a while. Which is nice because I assume that also correlates with lower wind speeds, but it means you're stuck inside for much longer than you normally would be.

Three straight days of PAK'ing in the dark and hanging out with buds though, not too bad. Watched Mean Girls and get shitfaced and then go outside with your buds and your acoustic guitar to sing CCR in the middle of a hurricane?? I do believe so yes.  :cool:

Overall, wasn't horrible, certainly could be worse, but I'm good on these hurricanes for now...until Sept. 8th when Hurricane 7th-Floor Crew rolls into The Best Apple. :cool: Go cats, ftb.

Title: Hurricane Isaac thread
Post by: SkinnyBenny on August 30, 2012, 01:25:26 PM
Bring every laptop you can find, charge batteries to 100%, leave them off and fully charged until the power goes out. Then turn on, dim screen to as dim as it goes, and then LOL with buds at movies. Change DVD from compy to compy every now and then so nobody's batt gets drained all the way.

Charge phones in your fully gassed up car and BBS your ever-loving brains out.
