Monsoon?

The weather is crazy everywhere.  I ran into a Monsoon yesterday by I95 and International Golf Parkway in St Johns FL, it was coming down so heavy I waited almost a half hour to head home.  When I got home which is only 30 minutes north west of there it was dry and my wife said it never even looked like rain.

Florida is always like this, especially the closer you get to the ocean. I have had rain in my front yard while nice and sunny on my pool side

Just had the worst storm I ever saw. Winds over 70mph, rain, hail, dust. Lost a tree. Still happening.

 

Me: Closed blinds. Turned music up loud. Hugging dog. Sitting in corner. Shaking. The end is near. Pray for me. LOL

 

ETA: This was less than one mile from me.

If it is just a tree & some Cacti - you made out well..............

Yes I did. The wind took down 4 High Power line standards, and destroyed 2 houses. Driving in to the shop, I guestimated about half of the neighborhood trees are down. This will take the rest of the summer to repair.

I just got back from the OBX. When we showed up last week the realor said we would have to drive through some water to get to the house. We rented up the beach in Corolla, so we all had 4x4 Jeeps and trucks. We thought.. what's a little water? Well... A little water turned out to be about 4 feet deep behind the dunes and surrounded probably 2 blocks of houses. 

We made it to the house, nothing my Jeep hasn't seen before off roading, but turned out it was all shit water, and the beaches had no swimming. The well water was contaminated.. we got a full refund and found another house down in kill devil hills... Even that one was surrounded by water, at least it was road accessible and drained after a day. 

Disaster averted! Trip wound up being pretty good after a literal shit Strom.

I thought it was in the bathtub with the mattress over you?

 

No bathtubs in school dude.

And seriously? Who has an 800+Page US History book to open up in the middle, and cover their head? At there home?

^ No - this is the NJ compliant model, the shaft is pinned.

It's the BLACK ones that are the Evil Umbrellas..............

Check with the NJSP. It still folds. It does have a semi auto deployment lever correct?

    • If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.
    • Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
