Yes if you live on the beach, you should go inland. That's just common sense for a big bad thunderstorm.
However, the strength of this storm especially near the eye is pathetically weak. Don't let your anxieties run high because you let the weatherman on TV told you how bad it was live from the dead center.
Here's a better metric to go off of for the true strength of the storm: if a reporter is able to travel to and stand near where the eye wall is while shouting how bad it is, the storm isn't that bad.
The storms where reporters aren't able to report on are where the really dangerous ones.
Went through the devastation of Andrew in Florida. If you were where the eye crossed the state, total devastation. If you weren't, It wasn't a really bad storm. Count yourself lucky the worst part hit somewhere else.
I have relatives near Surf City NC who told me that the eye wall came and went. Winds weren't anything that bad at all and the amount of water falling is typical for a bad storm.
Flooding is just as over rated. Just like Sandy, might as well call this a Category 5 Hypicane. !
But yes, let's keep hyping up these storms so people get underwhelmed and then don't leave for the really dangerous ones.
Yes, and your meteorological degree is sufficiently up to date so that you accurately predicted it was to be a nothing-burger? Could you please point to where you predicted this? And no sneaky covering up the details. We'll want research papers referenced and prior storm behavior properly cited and actually used. Lay it on us!!!
Nope didn't do any extra shopping too. Already had on hand water, dry food, and supplies to last multiple weeks.
Looks like the typical nanny state brigade have been downvoting the truth: that it's just a bad thunderstorm.

Sitting here in Wilmimgton and this storm is a BIG nothing burger.
These idiot goverent officials and news sources really need to stop with the hype. CNN is now Cat Null News. You can view webcams from the Baldhead Island Ferry out of Southport which is 30 minutes away.
And what does it look like? A bad thunderstorm.
The more they hype the wolficane, the more people will ignore these storms until the real deadly category 5 storm hits. This is negligence bar none.
The CEO has a fiduciary obligation by law to provide the most value to his shareholders. If the market will pay a 400% increase, he's doing his job.
Except when it comes to the demand curve in health, the fcuker goes vertical.
Is this right? No, and it's why I believe we're going to see big pharma get a bloody nose one of these days especially in regards to antibiotics which are quickly becoming useless in the face of common diseases.
If you don't like doing youtube, take your damn millions and invest it in another business so you don't have to do it anymore.
I bet A lister celebrities whine about the same problems too. "Awe my life is so difficult! I can't go outside without being mobbed by people. But yes I will continue to take these $500k monthly royalty checks."
Europeans can hee and haw all they want about how things are different and oh so better in their countries. At the end of the day when America says jump, European politicians always ask how high.
Besides, that welfare state won't look so good when Germany has to start paying for its own self defense instead of relying on foreign powers.
:facepalm: quit the semantics. Do you actually work in a large business? This is one occurrence of this problem and now I simply do my own resume vetting.
It ain't going to have any impact on the business world at large.
You don't say? Because I had to fish a resume out of the trash from HR because it came from a community college instead of a recognizable one.
Colleges are like brand names. You might not like to hear it but a lot of people get filtered out because of bullshit HR drones picking 4 year colleges over community colleges.
Agreed. It's time we also start looking at greedy colleges who continue to jack up tuition.
Frankly, I left my college disgusted, angry, and bitter. I have nothing but ill will for their bloated inefficient mess. Visiting other colleges made me realize how shitty mine was. Made the foolish mistake of not transferring thinking it will get better. No, It doesn't get better!
Want to really punch the gut of higher education? Start taxing their endowments and use that to pay down (not off) these bloated student loans. To the point their in line with inflation.
There's no reason for college administrators to be paid a 6 figure salary. Same goes for researchers.
Higher education needs a beat down both in terms of tuition costs, ideology, and in stature. Requiring degrees for burger flipping has ruined a centuries old tradition.
Every club I've been in in the bay area is nothing more than a sausage party with techies who lack social skills who then gawk and talk tech with the few girls that do go out.
I almost feel bad for single women in that city. Hoards of techies with unipolar interests. For goodness sake people, get hobbies that reside outside of tech and start ups.
"Failing to replicate isn't definitive proof that a finding is false, particularly in cases where other studies support the same general idea."
Failure to replicate using the exact experimental guidelines is fundamentally a mark of a failed experiment with bad results. The hamstering about other studies proving it without the exact same methodology is just feel good bullsh1t and is a pox on the scientific method.
This is why no one takes the social scientists seriously. It is doubly why we shouldn't waste government research money and subsidized student loans on trite BS like this.
The only sciences that should be taken seriously are those with a track record of reproducibility by others through peer review. Or at least have a large foundation of it as to help guide the more theoretical aspects of it.
Most of the crap peddled through the liberal arts isn't credible, reproducible, and is nothing more than make work for people who couldn't hack it elsewhere./unpopular opinion. Go ahead mods, do your worst!
The laugh track isn't fake. I know because I was in the audience.
Totally wasn't worth the whole day wait to get on the show. Taping lasts at least 5 hours. Way too long. The show wasn't funny after hour 3 and the pizza they gave out sucked.
How back in the early 2000s here on Slashdot we all were complaining how these electronic voting machines were the work of the devil in how easy they were to hack?
Fast forward to 2018, they're now viewed as Russian hacking devices.
Seems like we're on a collision course to return to the old style paper ballots.
Shame no one listens to us. It seems most tech crises would be avoided! Thankfully we get to bill $300/hr when Mr. Executive's screw up comes to roost!
Maybe people need to look at what's being conveyed on these messenger (social media) services instead of of trying to block it?
You know, if migrants really are stealing and committing sex crimes at a statistically higher rate above the norm then it should be reported. Same goes for politicians who commit crimes.
If anything, it sounds like certain people don't like it when social media serves up a dish of politically inconvenient news and the plebs rightly get angry. Maybe if journalists were doing their job there would be a more balanced way of reporting such news so that it doesn't inflame the public's violence.
Way to completely miss several key points from my original post anonymous coward. What your posting is the effects of 3rd world locals dumping their trash in the ocean. This has NOTHING to do with the plastic talked about in the main article or my post.
Thankfully science has never been wrong, over stated, and all of those who keep voting you up can't see it either!
Wow! A single patch of scum for 1000 nautical miles! Maybe charter a boat outside of your 3rd world carribbean bath tub sometime sushine and see that your over stated Hondoran trash problem is just that... Overstated.
And vote me down mods, I've got karma to burn going against your, "science has never been wrong" group think!
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds like this article is calling out basic bitches.
Shame because the phenomena crosses the genders.
It's just LA trying to pretend that what goes on there is important.
Almost as silly as network TV thinking it has a future.
He already bought it, go to your favorite torrent site and re-download the video.
I see no moral quandry to doing this.

Seriously? These idiots are whining?

These jack asses can go f*ck themselves.
Business class is available where I live in middle of nowhere Oregon. Nearest town is 40 minutes away.
There's also satellite which is just as good minus the latency. I had that when I lived up in Alaska.
Costs come to $140 a month which is fine by me given its speed and reliability. I can even write it off on my taxes.
A basic DSL line is more than enough to do what you need. It's all you need to access banking, email, text news, etc.
If you want fast internet pay for it or move to a town with a fiber line. You do not need youtube, Netflix, or downloadable games.
I work from home full time and tried to survive using basic home internet service.
I gave up and settled on full service business class cable. It's really fast and I get better customer service than the home guys.
If you do any service work at home, spring for business class. Even in the country, it's stupid fast.
I went back to Firefox. I don't trust Google and their ad ecosystem.
Firefox has its problems, but it doesn't have a multi-billiondollar neoliberal fascist enterprise backing it.
Europeans can hee and haw all they want about how things are different and oh so better in their countries. At the end of the day when America says jump, European politicians always ask how high.
Besides, that welfare state won't look so good when Germany has to start paying for its own self defense instead of relying on foreign powers.
It never works at all in practice and when someone criticizes it, you'll undoubtedly have someone chiming in saying, "You're just not doing it right."
Newsflash: agile SUCKS!
Looking forward to the day we can just feed AI a set of plain language requirements and it will code everything for us.
:facepalm: quit the semantics. Do you actually work in a large business? This is one occurrence of this problem and now I simply do my own resume vetting.
