Love the media and their headlines. It is an "extremely dangerous" Cat 5 hurricane. Is that as opposed to a fairly mild Cat 5 storm?

I heard 280 mph gusts at one time. That's 410 feet per second. Had a CO2 bb gun that shot 400 fps. Just some trivia to put it in perspective.

Reminds me of the only hurricane to hit the US soil a few years ago that hit Beaumont. Was it Humberto? Everybody went to sleep thinking a tropical storm was coming and woke up to a Cat 1.

It hit the US first last week. Damage was worse than Taiwan. If I can figure out how to link the video I will. 

Edit: Below is the link. I believe it should work.

I believe what it hit first is considered a Commonwealth, not actually part of the US.  It's citizens are not US residents.

It is commonwealth, just like Puerto Rico. It is a part of the US. Their citizens are US citizens. They serve in the US military. The only difference between them and being a state, is the fact that they receive no voting representation in Congress (they have a member in the House of Representatives that has no vote) and cannot vote in the Presidential election. They are Americans like us, yet their story is nowhere on the news.

As of the latest it will still be another month before they have electricity.

Thanks, did not know that

Not many do. Today many don't realize Guam and the Northern Marianas have anything to do with the US. I didn't mean to go on a rant just agitated that to find news about it I had to go to Candian or British websites. They are Americans and I just found out that most of the island of Saipam still do not have access to water two weeks after the storm. Just think that if it was on the news people would do more to help because they are citizens like you and I.

@breakingweather: A tropical system may develop in the Gulf of Mexico next week.

Don't know if it's the same system but the strongest hurricane ever is just off the Mexican coast. Looking at its track it will give us more rain midweek.

NEWSFLASH: That makes it extremely dangerous!!

I'm going out on a limb and guessing that being hit by a board (or any other debris) flying through the air at 280 mph is not going to have good results.

I think it could throw pine straw 3 inches deep into a wood fence post. Extremely dangerous.

i would hate to be hit by the beach sand going that fast.  You'd be trying to pick it out of your skin, and if your eyes were open I imagine it would permanently blind you

      LC-M is open

      By AggiesAreWe · Posted

      Head coach Brad Jeffcoat will be leaving the coaching business. He has taken an industrial sales job.  Coach Jeffcoat has really enhanced the basketball program at LC-M. He has done really well. This is a very good job opening. I expect a promotion to happen here and not an outside hire.   On a personal note. I will miss my friend Brad in the gyms. Always enjoyed my time talking with him. Good luck Coach on your new job!!

      The forecast for Huntsville looks brutal for this game. Houston TV says 3"-5" of rain this evening there. Hope they are wrong and you get this in though.

      Who Will Be President Trump's VP Pick?!

      By SmashMouth · Posted

      1. Trump has been the president before, and you're saying he has a chance of winning again due to Biden's poor performance. And you're agreeing that he's a turd sandwich (fair). Wouldn't it stand to reason then that Trump must not have had a poor performance during his presidency (since that's the only reason you're saying Biden would lose) which refutes your claim that the only reason Trump stands a chance is due to Biden's poor performance? You would have been better served to say that the only reason DJT may lose the presidency is because his personality is unappealing to many (turd sandwich). I'll take effective over feelings 8 days out of 7. 2. In my opinion, the major reason Biden has any shot at winning is TDS, a country that is slowly but surely being indoctrinated to socialistic thinking and a left-wing media bias that won't report what's truly happening. Definitely not going to win on the real issues. The real issues that are going to sink Biden: a. Wokeness and his unwillingness to stand up to it. He promised centrality, but instead took a hard left into oncoming traffic. b. Economy - go to the grocery store, and you'll see what I mean. c. Immigration - It's a dangerous free for all that is a huge national security risk, a personal safety risk, a health risk & an economic crisis for any city that has to take care of these illegal migrants. All to gain the Democrats millions of votes and control of the government basically forever. d. Energy - I could speak volumes, but you know what I mean. e. Crime and anti-LE sentiment - Turn on the news. f. Handling of COVID-19 - Biden did everything in his power to shut this country down short of martial law Get past the turd sandwich and do what's right for you, your family & the country as a whole.
