Bob Chill Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Irma needs to at least deliver a gusty shower in my yard. This is no doubt going to be an infamous storm.

RandyHolt Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Why do some authorities preemptively cut electricity, and even cell service before major storms? I presume to prevent damage to infrastructure and save $ in fuse expenses, but it just seems rude to do to your people who are about to get slammed hours beforehand. If it's that dire the infrastructure is going to get shredded anyways. I think that it's also so the Darwinians won't electrocute themselves, but then that is offset by some not being able to call 911, or get emergency info. Maybe power can be restored sooner, but we have all been in major storms where we thought we would lose power, yet amazing, we didn't. Would you want your power cut a few hours before the next big storm hits your backyard? Hell no. Seeing how long power holds on is part of the fun living in our vast array of largely above ground electrical service. Electricity is our link to the outside world. We are seeing videos from St Martens starting to take it on the chin, and maybe those videos broadcast will save lives later as others see damn, they got flooded and it didn't even start raining. Let's bug out. End Rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Vieques, PR for almost 2 years and not only would they shut down the power, they would also cut water off as well from the main island. It was my understanding that with potential for live wires to be down and that their infrastrure is not comparable to ours, it makes clean up both safer and cheaper. I think emergency officials are not worried about being rude when it comes to safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 This from a new poster making their first post in the main thread on the tropics forum is either an exquisite troll or performance art: Quote Newbie here. My first post actually. I appreciate all of the knowledge that I've come across during Harvey and now Irma. I was on another message board and someone said: "The biggest danger would be if Jose overtakes Irma and the two combine into one big hurricane. It would likely be around a Category 8. Not 10 as both storms would lose some efficiency." Is this a potential outcome? If so, how likely? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
