  1. I mean, given the current environment, i.e. Covid, & still cleaning up his place in Bay St. Louis from Zeta, it just wasn't possible
  2. So far 2 fatalities. 1 in New Orleans due to a downed powerline and 1 in Biloxi due to probable drowning on the waterfront.
  3. Well, KMOB is also closer to the MS state line than Mobile Bay.
  4. Keesler AFB max gust of 90mph so far.
  5. Surge now coming over much of Hwy 90 in Biloxi. There's that fast water rise they've all talked about.
  6. Power just failed for much of Biloxi on the peninsula.
  7. Oof, the MS Gulf Coast might be getting ready to have a long evening and overnight later today.
  8. Oh, this whole thing has really shown how selfish many Americans are. It's hilarious when folks are all about "my personal freedoms" but places "can't tell me what to do." Like, you can't have it both ways.
  9. Smh, and they wonder why their industry is being hit so hard.
  10. Had it made landfall 15 miles farther west, it would've easily been a good $5bil more damaging and practically wiped out much of PCB and downtown Panama City with surge. Also would've completely destroyed my parent's place by St. Andrews State Park if not by the 160mph winds then definitely the 14ft surge versus the wind ripping the roof off and ripping siding away. It was surreal being stationed at Keesler AFB and watching it unfold relatively not far away.
  11. Right up there with Reed, except Simon literally has the most monotone voice of any chaser.
  12. Wealth does not equate to quality of life/highest living standards. That's just a flat-out false pretense. I've spent many months on end in Australia, for example, and my quality of life and overall well-being was better.
  13. Really, highest standard of living in the world for a major country? Australia, Canada, & Germany would all beg to differ, to name a few.
  14. Thanks for that wonderful insight. Really added a lot to the conversation.
  15. It's always a race to see who can say they "see an eye developing" first in hopes of being right, I swear.
  16. You're trying to give points to a local forecast likely generated by a computer that they don't even really augment.
  17. Y'all want to both knock it the hell off?
  18. Exactly. i love seeing new people on here and different points of view from either red or orange tags, but also those that aren't tagged but have sounds reasoning, general good observations/discussion, or ask relevant questions. "That's an eye", "is that an eye", "oh it's drying out/strengthening/losing strength" is old really quick. I mean, at least back it up with something or look back a few pages to see if the answer is already there. I don't have the time to dedicate to heavily looking into or researching an ongoing event given my job in a certain part of the war world, but the above crap gets so old. Hell, I'm trying to figure out why folks like Idub are even able to post.
  19. It's an internet board that I've been part of since EasternUSWX, and I'm also 33 forecasting in an active war zone. I really don't care on here.
  20. Send some of those rums over here to Afghanistan, please.
  21. So those that didn't evacuate could be called "Wet A** Peasants"?
