  1. The Hurricane Thread | Hurricane Otis

    CSU released it’s first forecast and it is quite bad. https://tropical.colostate.edu/forecasting.html Our local met Denis Phillips who for me is hands down the best person to listen to, will start covering this week.
  2. The Hurricane Thread | Hurricane Otis

    I can’t vote anyway (permanent resident). Tampa a bit of an oasis in a state of crazy though.
  3. The Hurricane Thread | Hurricane Otis

    Aye, especially by the water. Plus a lot of insurers will force you to get your roof redone or drop you as well, adding to the roofing fraud that is going on (and your own cost). I had a roofer redo my roof after Irma and they tried to scam Citizens. Went to court and even though I had all the...
  4. The Hurricane Thread | Hurricane Otis

    I can't tell whether it's lack of oxygen at this altitude or the kava from the kava bars that is making me woozy.
  5. The Hurricane Thread | Hurricane Otis

    In theory no, Citizens is the state backed insurer of last resort. However I think they can require you to do thinks like get a new roof or refused to cover certain things. Citizens is hanging on by a thread though. Before I was dropped from them we were forced to carry the flood insurance...
  6. The Hurricane Thread | Hurricane Otis

    Insurance is pretty rough, and I need to carry flood now to even though I am way above the flood line (I am approx 50'). I also got dropped from Citizens the state backed agency, since some else offered me a policy more expensive but within their rules. I wouldn't mind moving but it just isn't...
  7. The Hurricane Thread | Hurricane Otis

    Hurricane season 2024 is not looking good, I know it's still early but the signs aren't great. ECMWF is already reporting above average, and main development region in Atlantic is at July temperatures already. Along with a developing La Niña, something to watch out for. Need to get my prep done...
  8. F1 2024 Season

    I've watched since the early 80's. I've been a Williams fan for as long as I remember and still am. I would watch every race like I would every United game regardless of where I was in the world. And the last couple of years has left me feeling why do I bother.
  9. The New low (I.) Q. Republicans and Ted Cruz

    Reading more into the article, only 66% of Europeans for the earth orbiting sun correctly. That’s even worse!
  10. F1 2024 Season

    As a Williams fan I have a lot of respect for Vowles. Seem like a really nice genuine person.
  11. Television Comedy Sketch Shows

    The spin off with Jack and Victor in Still Game is one of my favourite tv shows ever. Still on netflix.
  12. Royal Mail Scandal

    It’s a desparate example of how the deck is stacked against you in the UK when it comes to fighting services as the post office. Apart from a suicide and multiple jailing, the PO execs knew and lied over years, Lied, withheld evidence, lied in enquiries. Yet the CEO Vennels was made and still...
  13. Gaming PlayStation 5

    Mine arrived. Was playing Alien Isolation on it, it lags a bit at times but nothing terrible, but that was at home near the PS5 and router. Comfortable to use, light but terribly limited (I knew this when I pre-ordered). It's actually laughably limited to be honest, but I play my Switch a lot at...
  14. The Hurricane Thread | Hurricane Otis

    That rapid intensification was insane, I think it might be the most rapid on record?
  15. Television Justified

    One of greatest ever. Season 2 gives us "Do you know how a firearm works"
