Not surprising that the team rooting for a higher COVID death count also is rooting for stronger, deadlier hurricanes.MelloDawg said:
Ok thenKaepsknee said:Big Category 5 Hurricane.
Until it wasn’t close to being so.
We have these numbers along the Oregon coast in one or 2 storms most years. Not as much rain or surge. But this was the most hyped storm ever.
And these are gusts. Not sustained. -

In 1962 during the Columbus Day storm, the anemometer on the Morrison Bridge in Portland broke at the last registered wind speed of 113 mph. Thanks to global warming, we haven't had a storm nearly that big in the last 60 years. I watched some Hurricane Ian coverage yesterday and they were way over selling the alleged wind speed of 155 mph at land fall. No way were they mentioning how they got that number and what the actual peak gusts were.Kaepsknee said:Big Category 5 Hurricane.

PS Anyone remember the last dazzler post that contained numbers and sh*t? Mello? JW? Bearslose? -
I will never forget the Columbus Day storm of 1962. 120 in Olympia. We hunkered down in the kitchen playing board games by candlelight because us kids were way to scared to go to bed. Thought the house was falling downWestlinnDuck said:

It canceled an Olympia Bear games but the folks drove down to Portland the next day for the UW UO game -
I was at the Seattle World's Fair that day. Barely made it back to our Travelodge motel walking back against the wind gusts. Windows were blowing out of the motel that night and you could see our window heave before we closed the drapes. That day was our general trip around the fair and the next day was our actual fun day, with the monorail and rides scheduled. Next day never happened and we had to get home to check out our home. We did get to see the biggest polar bear ever shot - 12 ft. Still remember the size of that thing. Now, that would never happen in our new woke world. Plus, they are extinct now. At least that's what I heard.RaceBannon said:
