This the time I'm glad I live like SURROUNDED by grass/undeveloped land. I would hate to be in houston right now
Those waves and that fog.... god damn holy shit.
Looks like there a few people in this thread who are around the area where this hurricane is supposed to hit. Stay safe guys.
Edit: Woops quoted wrong stream. There is another steam on that youtube channel out there showing the waves tho.

Hurricane hunters in the storm itself. Balls of fucking steel.
Edit: Fuck. That's what I get for having two tabs open.
Honest mistake, fixed now.

Just saw a Hurricane Trump comment
I'm in San Antonio it doesn't take much for us to flood here. Just have to wait it out and stay off the streets. The drought doesn't help at times like this either.

So, question: what does it mean that this is the strongest hurricane that could conceivably be produced on Earth, exactly? Is it just water levels / temperatures / atmospheric conditions? I assume that "cap" has to be fluid in accordance with global warming.

ironic that the river walk was made for flood control and it still floods easily

Instruments or something must be messed up on the recon flight. They've been nothing but circling for the last hour.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
The really high El Nino conditions likely have a hand in this I'm thinking.

hurricane hunter either has damage or hail could be a concern, convective core is exploding right now according to those in the know on reddit.

It's broken, not reporting accurate values, pretty though.

You can see the burst of the light green at the end of the loop indicating colder cloud tops which usually means more intense convection and an intensifying storm. It had been a little weaker before that.

Landfall will be a bit further north of Manzanillo, thought it had taken a little swing north.

Monster storm, last minute intensification just before landfall, will deliver a frightful punch.

No wonder the Pacific waters were so warm just this weekend. Like, real warm at 7 am.
But climate change aint real yo.

Not to say it isn't related to climate change but El Nino is a natural occurrence.

God damn. It was weakening. Then it got stronger again. The hell, this storm truly is unexpected and incredible.

I feel bad for even considering the government will somehow use this disaster to divert attention from other important issies for months to come. At least we can get together as a country after these kind of disasters time after time.
The saddest part is that the most affected will be those that have less, thousands of families will lose everything they have, every fucking thing.
I live way south in Tabasco,, we're used to flooding here and it looks like this year we'll be safe from those.
Stay safe fellow mexicanos.
