40 mile wide eye.

Dear god...

[MannyIsGod]

Actually, I was in Alicia and the eye came right over my house...we got our ass kicked for hours and suddenly *bang* no wind, clear skies, and seagulls flying everywhere...It was about 4 in the afternoon...I could see the entire eye wall 360 degrees going up 40K feet and watched the south wall moving right towards us...walked around, checked out, and as it was about there went back inside, locked the door and told the SO and kid to get ready...it was about to hit us from the other side...about 30 seconds later *bam* 90 mph wind and rain from the west.

Wow dude - that sounds surreal. I would love to experience something the eye of a storm.

20 thousand were staying in Galveston I think is what I heard.

Best case scenario, half live.

That would be like 3x the number that died in Katrina. I can't see it being anywhere near that extreme. Still, I'm guessing they're going to be finding a lot of dumbasses floating face down in the morning.

[T Park]

well hurricanes dont really come into west texas so its not really a factor that you would think about.

Ok forget it, I was meaning in context if we had them built in east texas, or near Corpus Christi, where there is prevelant wind.

[Ginofan]

Aww still didn't read your email BB...

[MannyIsGod]

Well your a wind power advocate so I assumed you were well versed on the subject

Yes Windmills, and I was wondering, if we ever pull our heads out of our butts and put more wind generators out in the windier parts of Texas, if they could survive something like this.

Yes - Winds in west Texas at the top of those things will easily get to 60-70 mph.

Yeah I'm praying that the dead beat the odds and live.

I'm just not hopefull that the surge of water tommarow will be mercifull.

Geraldo, you pussy. Get back in the ing water!

there isnt the constant wind in any of those areas that is in a place like west texas.

The coast would be more feasible than East Texas which would really make no sense.

But you need constant winds. The coast doesnt provide that to the extent that you really need.

[CosmicCowboy]

Badass. You get any pics?

Oh wait... Alicia was like 30 years ago, wasn't it?

Yeah, I ran out of silver halide. Couldn't take any of those fancy picture things.

[T Park]

Yes - Winds in west Texas at the top of those things will easily get to 60-70 mph.

Yeah I know that.

Scenario is,

if you put them in Corpus, or Beaumont, or wherever, and a Hurricane comes through with 110 mile an hour winds.

Could they survive it?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Can you imagine...

We have an email from baseline bum for Geraldo..."Would you please just ing die already? Love your show. Thanks."

[CuckingFunt]

Geraldo, you pussy. Get back in the ing water!

I would have been amused if Jerry survived the hurricane long enough to die from being electrocuted by his mic's wire.

[timvp]

Finished with work. Time to turn this ish on.

FoxNews?

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Geraldo, you pussy. Get back in the ing water!

He got hit by something in the surf at least.
It's a start.

You can tell you don't fish at the coast. The wind is CONSTANTLY ing blowing.

Yeah I meant the coast line, if they were to put them out there ala the idea for having them in the Atlantic Ocean outside Massachusets.

[baseline bum]

BSOD Commercial!!!

west texas makes 10x more sense.

Yeah the times I've been in Corpus, its constantly ing blowing wind, and its annoying as all .

[Mad_Hatter]

Not many, but these are some of the pics we've had from today.

thanks... the seabrook ones are where i live but on the other side of 146 highway... higher ground.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah I know that.

Could they survive it?

Yes - they wanted to put htem offshore on the east coast and they get winds like that all the time.

I'm talking about, could they survive a hurricane like this one if it blew through?
