It just keeps getting crazier.
17 (SEVENTEEN!) inches of rain predicted for the western mountains of N.C. over the next few days. That kind of rain in the mountains can wash entire valley towns away. This is going to be interesting. My own forecast has increased from 4-5 inches to 5-7 inches. |

Why do I get the feeling the TV stations and other weather prediction reporting services, have begun to comb the weather prediction services to see who can get on the air with the most outrageous predictions possible.
Ratings, baby, accuracy is for pussys, especially after having a summer of relatively calm. When I was in Illinois the talking heads were breaking the weatherman's balls all week, because the weather report every day was, "Same as yesterday". Even around here this summer, if the temperature was going above 90, [klaxton] HEAT WAVE, PANIC, DANGER Will ROBINSON!!!! [/klaxton]

Went camping over the weekend. KP buckets left out overnight froze over. Good sleeping weather with just your nose sticking out of the mummy bag with the drawstring all pulled tight. Hard to get out of the sleeping bag to pee at 6 AM.

Some asshole at the National Weather Service is forecasting a mild winter. He/she needs to shut his/her pie hole.

Sustained winds over 200 MPH! 60 MPH winds scare me. 200 MPH is simply crazy. That will pick parked cars up and throw them.
I just went over to the Florida building code for building hurricane proof buildings, and they have all these zone maps and equivalence charts for what 3 second wind gusts are equivalent to in sustain wind loads. All fairly confusing. But the highest winds they design for are 150 MPH. Florida, with its hardened buildings, wouldn't be able to withstand Patricia. Mexico is really going to have a bad time. Entire regions will be flattened. It will be like the path of a tornado, except instead of being 50 yards wide, it will be 50 miles wide. |

You better hope the trucks have gone North already.
This is going to be the worst. It is the sort of thing that could topple a weak government...

Pics in Puerto Vallarta from earlier in the day are not reassuring ... I hope the local emergency managers get absolutely everyone well out of the area. A few sandbags stacked here and there look sadly inadequate considering what's coming.
