Weird weather

It's only callous if you look at the first one and think that.
Can relate. Superstitions look like they're permanently fogged over thanks to the Salt fire on the other side by Roosevelt Lake.
lol I live in Lake Jackson (near Houston). I *just* got an e-mail saying I need to quarantine for the next 14 days because one of my classmates who we were in contact with on Monday tested positive yesterday
Cranky lived in Huntsville for a little over 10 years before he got fed up with the people there and left. I can see them not taking a threat seriously if’n they can’t see it with the naked eye.

Since this is a Cat 4 there is still a good chance that it will still be a hurricane when it gets this far north. Ike was still sustained winds of 75mph when it hit. But we are under a tropical storm warning now.
Where are you at, Spar? I'm near Houston
Lufkin, the track has shifted a little further East as of the latest forecast, basically running straight up the Sabine River that divides Texas and Louisiana. Around 55-60 miles from us. Current estimates put steady wind around 40mph, with gusts up to 75mph.
Another shift in the storm has put us barely in the rain, we were expected to receive between 4-6 inches of rain, but from what I can see here at my house it may only be an inch at the most. No wind to speak of, maybe 20mph gusts.
I have friends that live in Lake Charles, they got hit hard by the storm. I know, and confirmed, that one of the buildings at McNeese University lost it's roof, there were people sheltered inside (first responders and others) but nobody was injured.

I'm waiting for it to come my way here in SouthWest Kentucky tomorrow - just supposed to be getting rain and wind, but are currently under a flash flood watch all day tomorrow.
Nah, Lufkin didn’t get anything, half inch of rain or less.
No noticeable weather here. TS winds and rain expected. But only two fast moving rain bands yesterday morning, not training at all yet. Should get some more rain bands late to day though.

I got no rain, no wind, but was still without power for almost 7 hours yesterday. Thankfully, Entergy says that the "rolling" blackouts aren't expected to continue today. (I didn't even get a flicker of power during my outage. I don't know anyone whose power was out that got intermittent power.)

That's so red if it looked low-poly I'd think it was a bad user-made Quake map.
(Anyone remember the name of the guy who used to review bad Quake maps? This was back pre-YouTube.)

Wasn't that something on SomethingAwful.com?

Yup, that was enough of a clue for me to find: Cranky Steve's Haunted Whorehouse Shame none of the pics in the articles have managed to survive the years.
Wait, are you assuming the gangs have embraced shamans and are sending firestorms and hurricanes at each other, or are your assuming Mother Nature itself is helping in one-upping each other in a "oh, you got fire? Well, we've got fire and wind!" kind of style?

La Niña Forms: May Bring More Drought, 'Not A Good Sign' For Wildfires
La Nina — which often means a busier Atlantic hurricane season, a drier Southwest and perhaps a more fire-prone California — has popped up in the Pacific Ocean.
