    Re: 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

    Heavy rains are back, have been for last 4-5 hours according to my Captain.

    Future radar doesn't show signs of letting up through the better part of the night atleast, too.

    I'll be honest, it's been a pretty spot on job by the meteorologists on this. You hear 50+ inches of rain and wonder if it's a bit of hype/doom and gloom, but those numbers will be hit.

      I agree that the meteorologists did a great job. tD will probably cut their funding more now.

          It is pretty hard to fathom.

          Being from the northern part of the country, I always like to think of it in terms of snow. Since, on average, one inch or rain equals about 13 inches of snow, that storm would be about 650 inches of snow, or 50+ feet.

          I assume somewhere my government has been planning to cover that eventuality.
          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

            There is a chemical plant in Crosby, TX (NE of Houston) that is experiencing heavy flooding. They have/are evacuating the area in anticipation of a possible anhydrous ammonia explosion within the next 8 hours. The plant has lost or reduced the capacity to keep it cool.

              1 inch of liquid rain is about equivalent to 10 inches of uncompressed fallen snow.

              Houghton gets 150-200 inches of snow or so a year. (The all time record is 355.9 inches in 1978-79.)

              Looking at it that way, Houston has received the equivalent of two Tech winters' worth of water in 4 days.

                    NIMBY generally means we don't care where it goes just not near me. The nimbies (is that a word?) will still demand, buy the product.

                          Heard on the radio this morning from a respected meteorogolist that with the amount of water Houston already has and the amount that's yet to come, given the size of the city, it's enough water to fill every NFL and Division I football stadium, and still have water leftover. Wow. Don't know how true it is though, but that's massive.

                            This is actually a case where NIMBY is appropriate. Zoning laws shouldn't allow plants that process large amounts of highly energetic material. This is basic city planning.

                                JJ Watt had pledged to match every dollar donated to his charity to help Houston. It's at $4.25 million right now and he's figuratively doubled down on his match commitment. His new goal is $5 million.
