- yuy910616 5y agoIf I remember correctly, he only successfully dodged 2/3 bullets. And then he started to stopping them
- ubermonkey 5y agoI mean, we DID get Harvey. My lay take here is that the flow of the Gulf Stream tends to bend the storms to the east as they approach the coast, so you get these curveball tracks that, unfortunately, disproportionately seem to smack Louisiana and Mississippi. Harvey came ashore further south, and so the eastward movement caught us (though that's a gross oversimplification of Harvey's actual mechanics).
- post_break 5y agoYeah but Harvey was mostly rain. If we had a category 5 go up the ship channel the entire US would be impacted. So much oil, fuel, etc goes through here.
- ubermonkey 5y agoFair. I was just thinking in terms of local impact.
