#severe weather

Y’all in the American SW and west Mexico better check the national hurricane center and your weather for this weekend and next week.

Hurricane Hilary is about to make landfall and that whole desert area is supposed to get a years worth of rain or more. Death Valley is supposed to get twice the annual rainfall. Severe winds, massive flooding, and landslides are all strong possibilities.

This is gonna get ugly. Please spread the word. This is a majorly anomalous event and people may be unaware of the threat headed their way.

EDIT AUGUST 19th

Hilary will hit the Baja peninsula this evening at a category 2. It will arrive in southern California as a tropical storm on Sunday evening before weakening and moving into Nevada as a tropical depression.

THAT SAID: for the Americans here, even if the storm is “weak”, I want to emphasize that the main danger is rain. We are most concerned about flooding. If you are in an area at risk for flooding, take appropriate precautions as per your city or state officials’ or the noaa’s directions. Even if you end up only being mildly inconvenienced, it is better to be prepared. Go to a friend or relatives house if you live near a body of water or a very low-lying area. Make sure you have water bottles and nonperishable foods. Keep your pets indoors. Don’t wade or drive into puddles.

Anyways, here’s some maps from the NHC

And here’s a link with information in Spanish.

AUGUST 20 FINAL UPDATE

Updated info from the NHC website.

Newsom also issued a state of emergency for parts of Southern California. Widespread flooding is expected.

Good luck y’all

"A study released by researchers for Rebuild by Design and Ramboll, an architectural engineering firm, suggests that every dollar invested in green infrastructure ultimately yields $2 in “avoided losses” (office closures, waterlogged inventories, flooded basements) and other benefits (improved home values and public health) [...] Just days before the September storm, New York’s mayor, Eric Adams, slashed $75 million that had been slated for the city’s Parks Department to deal with a budget crunch. Disinvestment in parks is going to cost the city in the long run because parks are a first line of defense against climate change."

Where I live is right now experiencing severe weather. I probably should be monitoring the weather reports,but all I can think about is Glen Powell in Twisters😍

*He's*

Everyone I know:

Also everyone I know:

Me:

P.S Thank you so much for all the notes on my Glen Powell era post, I'm now at 101. Thank you guys for welcoming me into the Glen Powell fandom. Lots of love to all!!😘

Extremely eerie how the entire state of Ohio is flipping its shit over these storms. We do this for snowstorms, but never for a thunderstorm system. Schools are closing, some library systems are closing early, everything's feeling apocalyptic and there's not even a thunderstorm watch yet.

If I get sucked up, know that I died like I lived: inappropriately quoting Twister.

With what happened in Mississippi last night I know I'm gonna see people hit it with "well it's tornado season so we're used to this shit, it's not a big deal!" and "who cares it's a red state lol"

1. Most tornado seasons have small spin up twisters and not monsters so clearly defined on radar they are textbook examples of a supercell, plus most tornado season twisters don't track on the ground for almost 100 miles.

These were night tornadoes, which are the most dangerous kind, and the largest tornado of the night was wide enough to wipe a few towns off the map completely.

2. Mississippi and Alabama are two of the most vulnerable states to tornadoes, and not the kind you see in tornado alley. They get obscured by forests and hills on top of being rain wrapped, making them hard to see. Especially at night.

3. Both states have a large black population, and both states have large amounts of people under the poverty line living in mobile homes or homes without basements. People under the poverty line are more likely to be disabled or not have reliable transportation on top of living in homes not of sound construction.

4. Many of the towns hit were smaller, rural towns. Some don't have good internet or cell service. Some don't even have tornado sirens.

5. Both states are red because of voter suppression and jerrymandering. You should take this into consideration before writing off an entire state's worth of people who are suffering a natural disaster outside of their control.

6. Actually you should never celebrate or be ambivalent to an entire state or population of people suffering from a natural disaster. There's no correlation between natural disasters and how "good" a person or group is. Thinking like this is for jackasses and will rot your brain.

So idk what to tell you but maybe you should fucking care about other people who are hurting and going to be hurting for a long time. Some of these people may have had their lives completely ruined and lost all they had. Some towns may never recover and simply vanish off the map.

There's been over 20 fatalities already and the sun only rose an hour or so ago.

edit: made this post while i was half asleep, and i am going to clarify here;

point 3 is being made as such: don't fucking clown on an entire states worth of people.

the south isn't just white racist hicks or whatever people like to stereotype it as, there's a lot of different people who just happen to live there, including a large population of minorities living in one of the poorest areas of the damn country.

and even if it were just white racist hicks or whatever the fuck, you still shouldn't clown on a state or minimize human suffering

to the person who added "you're saying if the state was all white this wouldn't have happened?" you are a fucking moron taking this post in the worst faith I have ever seen.

natural disasters don't work that way and it would have happened if the conditions were favorable for strong tornadoes anyways, despite location.

my wording wasn't the best due to me having just woken up and being full of emotions i couldn't process, not everyone is good at words and I am sorry if I'm being a jackass here.

But the point stands: DON'T BE A JACKASS ABOUT AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE WHERE THEY ARE FROM.

Just some Amber art I whipped up ig. I feel like I often neglect her when drawing/writing as she’s never really been a favorite of mine. Ofc I like her but just not as much as some characters like Roy, Poli, Droney, Mark or Bucky. I guess I just like some characters for than others but Amber is a pretty good character otherwise, just sort of…a little less important to me- (Amber slander lol)

She ver pretty tho

Also I got some severe weather coming my way tomorrow so I hope I don’t get sucked up by a tornado or given a free concussion by tennis ball sized hail!! 😍😍‼️‼️‼️

One our mottos is ‘capturing incredible’ because this stuff we see is nothing but incredible. Storms are an indescribable thing to experience in-person and on purpose.
