Re: [MBZ] OT Flo
Ha! Look up Hilton Coliseum in Ames, IA. I still remember an engineering prof telling the city council that it was built on a big berm on a 500 year floor plain and would never flood. It was barely done before it went underwater in 1974. In the more recent floods, they no longer try to move stuff to dry land, they just let it get ruined, that way the taxpayers will buy them all new stuff. So every 5 years or so, there is an all new BB floor and a buncha other stuff.Prof Shapiro was a charlatan. He also neglected to tell the council that they cut a big ramp in the east end down into the basement. A direct pathway for the water to float the BB court floor.The berm was all for show. Muey stupido! Based on 500 yr floods, I am something like 3000 years old. Peter Frederick via Mercedes wrote: I have friends in Columbia SC, I'm worried about them.

Re: [MBZ] OT Flo
I keep wondering how the forecasters predicted Florence to gain and hold strength until it hit land. What little I know saw the same with high water temps and nothing in the way of steering winds to block it. It started at Force 4 and hit at Force 2. Do we not understand hurricanes? Are the reporting devices (buoys, etc) not working properly? Did something appear like a new High or Low pressure area to weaken or steer it? Anyone know?

A hair more than 1/2”. I actually install it like plywood into the window opening using clips rather than over the outside of the window. It’s far, far easier, makes for smaller panels, and doesn’t require drilling holes in the exterior walls of the house. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014PYV0P0/ref=twister_B071772W95?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 -D > On Sep 14, 2018, at 8:53 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > >> On September 14, 2018 at 7:55 AM Dan--- via Mercedes >> wrote: >> >> >> This is what I have for our windows and doors.

This is what I have for our windows and doors.

Super light and really easy to handle, even the wife could put them up if necessary. I did the plywood thing for Irma, and That was a major PITA that took nearly a day to complete.

Re: [MBZ] OT Flo
I got about half my boards up yesterday, finished the rest this a.m., and now it looks like we won't get much of anything. Better safe than sorry, at least I "Op-Tested" my plan and confirmed how long this process takes (about six hours in good weather). I left one of our breakfast nook windows without boards so we'd have a little bit of natural light, was going to wait until tonight to put that board up but now I've got to plan on taking them all down again. Probably do that on Saturday as long as the weather is OK. - Max Charleston SC On Thu, Sep 13, 2018 at 10:59 AM Floyd Thursby via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Well it looks like Flo is weakening a bit, and I am debating yet again > weather to finish the boarding process.

The reply to that email was,

I agree that Trenberth needs to dissociate himself from that editorial.
It is just anti-Trump hysteria, dressed up as science.
But Trenberth also needs to be careful what he says to today's
journalists who always have a strong political agenda. His claim about
“The ocean is warming up systematically”{and therefore driving stronger
hurricanes] is dubious at best. The National Weather Service was much
more scientific in their latest 'Discussion' of Florence. They said:
"A narrow window of opportunity remains during the next
24 hours or so for Florence to strengthen a little when
the hurricane passes over the warmer SSTs and deeper warm
water/higher upper-ocean heat content associated with the
Gulf Stream"
In other words, this is all about ocean currents and the Thermohaline
Circulation, not Global Warming. That is the conventional wisdom.
Trenberth should consider supporting the truth, or if misquoted, fight
back against those who misinterpret everything for political purposes.
The National Hurricane Center has downgraded Florence to a Category 3
hurricane, even though it has broadened into a bigger storm with more
associated energy. It is still a monster, like so many others in the
past.

Participating in the spreading of this fake climate hysteria is inexcusable for anyone who calls himself a scientist or has training in atmospheric science such as Kevin Trenberth as there is no metric that can be used to distinguish any of these hurricanes in the present to anything in the past that proves atmospheric CO2 is the cause of any of it. It is no wonder that so many have lost all respect for those that participate in spreading fake, untrue and unprovable claims about severe weather, tying it to "climate change" whose definition has been expanded by these kooks to include anything they choose to spread another story full of hysteria and falsehoods. Mr. Trenberth, I don't know how you sleep at night. It looks as though you have no conscience with respect to maintaining the truth. Harvey's atmospheric characteristics were no different than many other hurricanes of the past and there is no metric you can use that proved otherwise. Harvey's flooding rains were caused by the storm being synoptically slowed as it made landfall by surrounding weather systems which as anyone knows is a normal occurance given the limitless combinations of weather patterns that are produced continuously by the chaotic atmospheric system that we well understand that produces our daily weather. When a tropical system slows or stalls for those reasons and loses its ability to induct additional water vapor from the tropical ocean, the result is a cooling of the system as it loses energy. That produces torrential rainfall and if the system is slowed, it is concentrated over the area that the stalling occurs in. The sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and Caribbean basin are typically warmer in the cold phase of the PDO [Pacific Decadal Oscillation] as we are in, and we find that measurements of sea surface temperatures and resulting surface air dewpoint temperatures are no different now than they have been for many decades. This story therefore, is complete crap, with Trenberth's name attached to it. -- Craig ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Yes, but I’m still gonna blame him, he is so incredibly fiendishly powerful that in less than 2 years he has mastered the control of a CAT4 hurricane.

Have you ever considered installing some form of shutters that would remain attached to the buildings so that all you had to do when a storm threatens is to close them and lock them down? Given the frequency with which you folks seem to have to batten down the hatches, it would seem to me that you should try to make it a quick and easy process. I am planning to do something similar with the cottage at the lake. Every fall we screw panels over all of the windows and every spring we remove them. If I convert them into hinged shutters, it will be easier and faster and I won't have to store them in the summer. I can also close the shutters over the larger and more exposed windows between visits if I think it a good idea.

Re: [MBZ] OT Flo
Well, it's just me and my ladders and my power drivers... We have some fairly old YSI instruments onto which various sensors can be mounted. They have internal batteries and memory and can run for up to 100 days while logging data from the sensors. When I was setting them up the internal files still stored in memory (having sat for a LONG time) were from 6 and 7 years ago, so the things sat since then but fired right up and worked fine, data were still good in them. We called the company and talked to an engineer there who helped us with a coupla things we couldn't figure out. This is a newer version but basically the same thing https://www.ysi.com/6920-v2-2 They are spendy, several $k. These were NOAA "surplus" had been sitting in a storage room for a long time but had all the stuff with them, including the hand-held units for field programming and downloading data and a bunch of extra sensors. Probably a good $50k worth of stuff, your tax dollars at work! My professor buddy got them from someone he knows who works at the marine lab here, she was glad they were going to get used for something useful. They had actually used them in some similar study up the coast a bit. Here is one we put in a tidal creek near a friend's property, it drains a fairly developed area. We put one in a another branch of the larger creek it drains into, across the road, which drains an undeveloped area, so we will get some good comparisons of how the water quality is different between the two distinct watersheds. We attached some 4" PVC field drain pipe to a stake and a root here, and to a dock on the other one, and then dropped the sonde into the pipe. The water can flow through the pipe while protecting the instrument. It was just about low tide when we put it out, so it was not down in the water in that creek, hard to slog out into it through the pluff mud, but it will be covered when the tide gets up, or when the rain runoff is flowing. Tide will get up 6ft or more in there from where it was in the pic. My buddy has a nice (surplus) weather station we will set up near these 2 units, so we will have a lot of good weather and rainfall data to correlate with the water readings. SCIENCE!!! Take that Flo! Turns out there are some Weather Underground hobby stations close by too, we can get their data for comparison. Fun times. --FT On 9/12/18 10:39 AM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: On Wed, 12 Sep 2018 10:16:22 -0400 Floyd Thursby via Mercedes wrote: Well the latest projections have me rethinking my boarding decision from yesterday when I put all the plywood away, looks like I need to get it out again and start putting it up as Flo might turn south and make a coastal run down our way.
