Y’all in the American SW and west Mexico better check the national hurricane center and your weather for this weekend and next week.

Hurricane Hilary is about to make landfall and that whole desert area is supposed to get a years worth of rain or more. Death Valley is supposed to get twice the annual rainfall. Severe winds, massive flooding, and landslides are all strong possibilities.

This is gonna get ugly. Please spread the word. This is a majorly anomalous event and people may be unaware of the threat headed their way.

Holy shit thank you OP. I lived on the east coast and moved to AZ 4 years ago… thought I was done with this stuff. Literally this is the first I heard about it so thank you for getting the word out.

Shit. I have a post I’ve been holding onto about hurricane preparation. One moment, I’ll post it.

Category 4 Hurricane Hilary expected to deluge California and the U.S. Southwest with rain

The latest news and live updates on Hurricane Hilary, which has grown into a Category 4 hurricane expected to bring strong winds and rain th

NBC News

This is like. Freakish. Due to the Coriolis Effect pushing northern hemisphere hurricanes west, and the lack of Gulf Stream warm water fuel, hurricanes are exceedingly rare on the west coast of North America.

Here’s Just How Rare West Coast Hurricanes—Like Hilary—Really Are

California also felt the effects of Hurricane Kay last year, though that storm moved out to sea.

Forbes

The only tropical storm with hurricane-force winds believed to have hit Southern California came in October 1858, when a hurricane struck San Diego, according to a 2004 report in the American Meteorological Society.

Never, since scientific records of hurricanes started in 1949, has a storm with hurricane strength winds hit this far north on the west coast of the continent. We’re looking at a once in a century event here. Or at least what used to be once in a century.

Ik who I’m talking to, this is Tumblr. East coast folks, do y'all remember Hurricane Irene, when we were youths? Remember how bad it was? That was a Category 3. Hilary is a Category 4, one below Katrina. On the west coast, where people are way more likely to be unprepared, and infrastructure unlikely to be built to withstand, hurricane strength winds or flooding.

This is going to be a catastrophe.

HEY CALIFORNIA PEOPLE!

HURRICANE ADVICE FROM A FLORIDIAN!

Make sure you’ve got shelf-stable food and water for everyone in the house, including pets. The rule of thumb is a gallon per person per day. Freeze water bottles if you want cold water.

Make sure you have enough meds!

Make sure you have batteries, candles, flashlights, and a manual can opener. 

Make sure your electronics, including backup batteries, are charged. Unplug things you don’t want fried in case of a power surge. 

Don’t tape your windows, it doesn’t help and you’ll just be stuck scrubbing goo off of them later.

Put a mug of frozen water in it in your freezer with a quarter on top of it. If your freezer defrosts, the ice will melt and the quarter will sink and tell you you need to throw things out.

Get everything that’s not nailed to a foundation out of your yard. That dead branch hanging on by a thread? Time to get it down (it was probably time to do that three days ago, but now’s better than never).

Park away from powerlines and trees if you can. Rain makes the ground soft and then trees fall over.

Have an evacuation plan to a shelter. Evacuate if they’re telling you to.

If you start to flood, don’t go in your attic. You’ll get trapped if the water rises too high and you can’t hack through your roof. This happened to a lot of people in Texas and Louisiana. Get ON the roof.

Be safe, be well <3 

What the fuck?

???? WHAT???

Ngl, “tropical storm in death valley” was not on my 2023 bingo card.

Drainage on our roads is shitty in SoCal, don’t attempt to drive through water deep enough to touch your bumpers and don’t attempt to walk across moving water, water only as deep as your ankles can knock you down and sweep you away.

Predicted wind speeds are similar to strong Santa Anas, so lock things down like you would for that, though keep in mind that yeah the combination of heavy rain and wind leads to more felled trees than just wind.

Take photos of the inside of your home now; flood insurance fucking sucks here and if you’re in a possible flood zone you want as much documentation of your home and belongings as possible in case you need to make a claim.

Freezing water bottles also means you’ve got a lot of ice in your freezer if power goes out, and safe potable water once it thaws, so freeze bottles of water to have something to keep your fridge and freezer cool and store more water regardless of if you want cold water.

one thing i love about mass effect (1) is that it starts with this shot where you just barely see your shepard’s reflection in the window and then a long tracking shot of their back as they walk through the CIC, and then the music swells as it swings around to reveal their face, like the big introduction to the main character at the start of the movie… only you just spent twenty minutes customizing your shepard and looking at them from all angles as you selected their backstory, so theres absolutely no reveal to it

There is a reveal to it: the revelation that your Shepard looks absolutely terrible outside of the customization screen lighting.

Alright, I think I like tumblr now.

A pun post crossed my dash, and I reblogged it with an equally bad pun in return. A couple of my followers find it funny, it’s a good day for everyone.

That was on July 7th.

Virality on Reddit was entirely algorithmic. You could garner a couple crossposts, but the success of a post was entirely dependent on whether or not it hit r/all–the main page of Reddit. If your post does that, it’s immediately exposed to 10x the number of people and immediately gets upvoted.

On my pun post, I get a couple reblogs. And those reblogs get a couple reblogs–nobody really adds any content to the post, it just gets a couple reblogs here and there.

There’s a specific chain of reblogs that I’d like to focus on. The most popular post on this chain has about 25 reblogs on it. Half the posts have three reblogs or fewer. Five posts in this chain have just one reblog total.

But the reblog chain keeps going. And going. It breaches containment many times over. And finally, after a chain THIRTY SIX posts long, at 9:30 AM, July 22nd this morning, it hits a popular account.

ALT

99% percent of the people who have seen the post–virtually unchanged from how it left my dash–have seen it because it was curated by 36 different people. That’s insane to me.

None of those 36 people know that they’re part of this chain. They saw a post, reblogged it, and moved on. If any one of these people had not reblogged, the post would have a fraction of the impact it has.

And yet, after two weeks, the post has effectively hit the main page of tumblr. It was picked up, only because people liked it enough to show it to their followers. There were no algorithms necessary.

You really, truly, cannot get this on any other website.
