Suddenly, sink holes in Florida don't look too bad.

Saw those picture on the news today

Scenes from 2012 came into my mind.

Yes, this is a bad one for Kona, plus the fumes must be causing problems for everyone on the island, but these things have happen before like someone said back in 2012.

It's when records are being broken that I wonder what's going on

For example Green Bay, Wisconsin just had it's worst winter ever recorded

Guess what? Imelda paid me a visit

Tropical storm Imeida only lasted two days ... Shortest. Tropical storm on record bringing rain and flooding to much of South Texas with up to 30" of rain and three deaths.

The National Hurricane Center highlighted the western Gulf of Mexico for potential development on early Saturday morning, but the chances for development remained low through Tuesday at 8 a.m. CDT.

That is, until the system quickly became more organized on Tuesday, with increasing thunderstorms bubbling just off the Texas coast.

A tropical depression formed at 12 p.m. CDT Tuesday. It was forecast to become a tropical storm and a tropical storm warning was issued for part of the Texas coast.

But it only took 45 minutes for that to happen.

Tropical Storm Imelda formed at 1245 p.m. CDT, bringing with it a sustained wind of 40 mph at Freeport, Texas.

Imelda made landfall at Freeport 15 minutes later, at 1 p.m. CDT, just an hour after first being designated a tropical depression.

Since Imelda moved over land shortly after developing, it was not able to strengthen, but heavy rainfall and flooding were always the primary concern with this system.

It went from nothing to tropical storm and then landfall in mere hours, very big surprise for all of us. One of my drivers had 8" of water in his house and his new truck flooded.

You've expanded? You "have" drivers now. Just read this tidbit

Dana says the lube should be drained from axles and checked for water contamination, which can make the lube oil appear milky. If that’s not definitive, try a “crackle” test. Place a bit of the suspect lubricant in a metal pan and heat in on a hot plate to about 400 degrees. Any water present will boil off with a crackling sound. If it just smokes, no water is present.

Good advice em2

After the winter is over Chicago ship's all of it's winter done in auto/trucks to the South and after a hurricane the South sends all of it's flooded cars/trucks to the Northern states

Hanna, you sneaky b*tch!!

Besides the hurricanes, how are y’all doing during the corona storm?

Onkel Neal · 07-25-20, 10:27 PM

Staying at home a lot more, always wearing a mask. So far not a problem. How about where you guys are?

BlueBeard · 07-25-20, 10:43 PM

I have been at home since the 15th of march orso. Province North-Holland isnt the worst hit (atleast the town where I live). Home schooling also started then, so only went out for groceries and working from home 100%. Masks are only mandatory in public transit. The Netherlands is different in that then surrounding countries, like germany. We have very low cases here now, so restrictions are being lifted. Thank god the people themselves were smart enough here to follow the distancing rules in the beginning, worked from home, etc, so that helped a lot. But things are spiking here a bit again at some places in NL.��

I think people here in Europe are looking with disbelief how America handles this (most of all the americans themselves not using social distancing. Atleast thats the image you get from the media).
Home schooling has also been lifted after 2 months I believe (�� !!@%#). This month I was even able to go to the beach for a drink so thats good news ��
Nobody I know got corona (maybe asymptomic?) Luckily. Have been unemployed since end of may (I am a freelance contractor now for 2,5 years). But I found a new contract last friday to start again on 17-8 ��
Hope this nightmare ends soon .

Yeah, it's pretty sad, we have this mixed up with politics from both sides.

What we really need is outside management. Let Taiwan manage this for us, we just do what they did. Just think, it could have spared 140,000+ of our fellow citizens a slow, agonizing death.

vs.

They're miles ahead of us as a society that handles this emergency. I mean, they are right next to China, for crying out loud and they are largely free and safe from this pandemic. America is acting like bumbling retard child in comparison. Arggh!
