In the news

Damn my diesel car.

That Richard Rawlings will do anything to make a buck.

Bro in law who lives in FL had gone full-on prepper. Bought a generator and all the tinned food.

No guns though, so not too loony.

Unless it is a well silenced generator,
the guys with guns will take his tinned food.

I thought not having a gun was illegal in FL?

Friend has loads of FB friends over there any they're all desperately trying to stock up on water. Apparently everywhere is sold out....

It was suggested they could decanter tap water and apparently they were all like "u mad? Can't drink tap water!"

Parole conditions? ;)

Is that code for not being white?

Sorry that's probably not appropriate. It's just I'm often regaled with all sorts of depressing stories.

Yeah, tap water is a last resort but won't kill you. I drank loads there before finding out you're not supposed to and nothing terrible happened.

Boil it ... iodine tabs ... etc.

The Q & A is pretty good too

the earths crust / tectonic plate under houston has sunk 2cm under the weight of all the water dropped by the recent hurricane

Sceptical. Source?

The other thing I found really interesting about hurricanes is that the localised low pressure causes water/sea levels to rise, and this is a major factor in flooding (not just the tons of rain deposited on the area) - just like sucking on a straw...

storm surge

earthquake and tsunami in the gulf of mexico too now

wonder if the two things could be connected, mass movement of water, extra weight on the northern part of the gulf causes stresses on the southern section

They're not at S yet, IJ&K are active though.

nope wrong side of the country and pacific side
looks like 3 plates converge on that area prime earthquake territory

storm serge they are names after all

seen that image on the msn home page of three hurricanes all waiting out at sea ready to find land
scary
