kken Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 by the time it will hit us, it will just be thunderstorms... and then because most people have already fled the area, all the area clubs will have no cover and cheap drinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicman Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 people here overreact to everything is what i have gathered in my time in the area. the fucking shelves in the supermarket are always empty a day or two before a "snow storm" that ends up being 3 or 4 inches.

nourishment Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 You can complain all you want about overreacting, but unpreparedness is the main reason that most people lose their property and their lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiroguy1 Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 There should be a color code system rather than a numbering system. People seem to respond to colors lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinybutterfli Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Originally posted by kken so a cat 1 and 2 storm will still mess shit up? never seen a hurricane before... I was living in Houston, TX in 1983 when Hurricane Alicia hit. It was a Category 3. I just did a little search for damage reports from that hurricane and this is what I found:Twenty-three tornadoes were reported during Alicia. 14 occurred between Galveston and Houston as the storm made landfall, and the other 9 touched down the next day between Houston and Tyler. All but 2 of these were small, with winds between 40-72 mph. The strongest tornado occurred near Tyler, in Northeast Texas, with winds in the 113-157 mph range. Twenty-one persons died as a result of Alicia. 25 others were hospitalized and 3,094 were injured or became ill. The Red Cross provided shelter or food for 63,000 people. A total of 2,297 dwellings were destroyed and another 3,008 suffered major damage. 18,660 families suffered losses from Alicia. The $2 billion in damages made Alicia the costliest hurricane in Texas history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen one tornado so far (in college park) and that thing fucked shit up and it wasnt even that strong.According to CNN.com, the storm is now a strong Category 2, 1 mph short of the threshold for Category 3 hurricane.
